🍿 A Haunted House 2: Detailed Plot Synopsis
Starting Fresh
After the events involving his ex-girlfriend Kisha, Malcolm seeks a fresh start with his new girlfriend Megan and her two children, Becky and Wyatt. They move into a new house, hoping for a normal family life, unaware that the new home is also plagued by paranormal activity. The move is presented as a chance for Malcolm to leave his past behind and integrate into a new family dynamic.
Paranormal Disturbances
Strange occurrences begin shortly after the family settles in. Wyatt claims to have an imaginary friend named Tony, while Becky discovers a mysterious box in the basement. Malcolm soon realizes that the house is haunted, leading to a series of comedic and chaotic events as he tries to deal with the paranormal disturbances. The haunting mirrors elements from various horror films, creating a parody-like atmosphere.
Seeking Help
As the paranormal activity escalates, Malcolm seeks help from various sources, including a priest and paranormal investigators. These attempts to resolve the haunting often lead to humorous situations and further complications.

Personal Review
I went in expecting a dumb comedy, and boy, did I get one. Some of the jokes were so bad they were funny, but honestly, a lot of it just felt lazy. I laughed at the doll scene, but also cringed a bit. Overall, I’d say it’s a decent watch if you’re in the mood for something brainless, but don’t expect a masterpiece.

The film’s screenplay is aimless, stupid and staggeringly unfunny – not a single gag throughout the entire film resonates with audiences.
- N/A: “I didn’t even watch it as soon as the scene starts with the doll I turned it off! How is that funny ? I’m sorry the doll looked like a child what the hell were they thinking ?
- N/A: “The first movie I loved thier jokes but this one is really a bad sequel
