The horror-movie genre gets a hilarious makeover when Marlon Wayans (Scary Movie series, White Chicks) and Cedric the Entertainer (Madagascar, The Original Kings of Comedy) star in A Haunted House 2, the outrageous supernatural comedy coming to Blu-ray™ Combo Pack including Blu-ray™, DVD, & DIGITAL HD with UltraViolet™ on August 12, 2014, from Universal Studios Home Entertainment.

Having
overcome the demons of his past, Malcolm (Marlon Wayans) is ready to
start over with his new girlfriend Megan (Jaime Pressly) and her two
adorable kids, Wyatt (Steele Stebbins) and Becky (Ashley Rickards). When
their house is plagued by a rash of bizarre paranormal events, Malcolm turns
for help to his buddy Miguel (Gabriel Iglesias) and exorcist Father
Williams (Cedric the Entertainer) in an attempt to drive the evil

My Thoughts
A Haunted House 2 is a fun spoof of some of the recent paranormal movies. In the movie, Malcolm has moved on from the ghostly horrors he experienced and is now married to Megan. He finds himself the stepfather of a moody teen who likes to carry around a wooden box and a little boy with an imaginary friend. While he hopes for a normal life, soon he's haunted all over again. There is a possessed doll hanging around who becomes obsessed with him. They have an affair which leads to him having to call in the exorcists all over again.
Though I didn't get the opportunity to watch the first film in the series, I had no trouble following along with this one. I enjoyed much of the slapstick humor, even though some of it is over the top. However, there were many things that seemed like a replay of other parody movies. There are also a lot of references to drugs and sex, so this definitely isn't one you want to watch until after the kids are in bed. It's funny enough to make it worth watching once, but once will be enough.

When I first saw the title I thought it was a scary movie. It looks more like a comedy.
OH EM GEE. I love Marlon Wayans movies. Thank you for your review I will have to check this one out.
This movie sounds funny but I wasn't a big fan of the first one so I don't know if I would like this one or not.
this would be something that my older grandkids would enjoy
I think my niece would really enjoy this! Thanks for sharing.
