“So I wasnu0026#39;t impressed with The Invoking (2013) but didnu0026#39;t think it was as bad as the awful IMDB rating suggested. It was just a standard generic low budget horror film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI was amazed to discover that itu0026#39;s become quite the franchise, in fact itu0026#39;s still going. Heading into part 2 I expected the worst and pretty much got it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOddly The Invoking immediatly shifts gear and instead of being a standard film is an anthology movie with several short stories. Why a franchise would change so dramatically I canu0026#39;t figure out but it certainly hasnu0026#39;t done it any favours.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story lengths vary, ranging heavily. In fact the last one is probably around the 60 second mark!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNone are very entertaining, they arenu0026#39;t connected and leave you confused as to quite what the point was. The cover just like the previous movie is dishonest, you will not find the yellow eyed entity here nor the house shown!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI like anthology movies, some have really surprised me in quality but The Invoking 2 is yet another failure. I hope the franchise turns itself around as thus far not only are the movies bad but they have no identity at all.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Good:u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBetter than youu0026#39;d imagine soundtracku003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Bad:u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWeirdly builtu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSimply not very entertainingu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNot becoming of a franchiseu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThings I Learnt From This Movie:u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe fact that we get films like this but have no Trick r Treat 2 breaks my heart”
