c b The idea of them geo-caching and having Tony Todd (AKA the Candyman) in the movie was a good idea but once they got to the house all intelligence disappeared. Well, actually it was stupid to cast Kathy Gardiner in the movie. Her acting was HORRIBLE!!! EVERYTHING she said sounded like she was reading. One of the maniacs was especially annoying with his mumbling and gibberish talking. With movies like the Blair Witch, which was also a low budget movie, You can make a good scary movie with a low budget and a lot of creativity. But basically just like everybody else said. This movie was terrible. I did like the giraffe and wild animals in the movie. Not worth spending any more words one it. This Movie Sucked!
Paul Andrews Are You Scared 2 starts as internet gamers 'Team DNA' who comprise of four teen friends Dallas (Tristan Wright), Andrew (Chad Guerrero), Reese (Kathy Gardiner) & Taryn (Andrea Monier) are heading towards a world record as they find some sort of hidden cache. With millions of subscribers all around the world their real life hunts for hidden cases are popular viewing on the internet, to break the record Team DNA need to find & recover a cache case hidden by rival team 'Ultimate Doom' & use a portable GPS tracker to locate it in a large abandoned mansion in the middle of a wildlife reserve. However Team DNA walk right into a trap set up by a mysterious controller (Tony Todd) who capture the four friends & pits them against a sadistic killer which he them records & streams on-line for anyone with enough money to watch the slow torture & killing of Team DNA one-by-one...Written & directed by the pairing of John Lands & Russell Appling I presume that this wasn't originally intended to be a direct sequel to the surprisingly decent Are You Scared? (2006) as it was shot under the title's Tracked & Geohunt, I would suspect that Lionsgate picked the film up & decided to market it as sequel even though the two have little in common & this feels more like a teen slasher than a Saw (2004) style killer trap film & quite frankly it sucks. Basically these annoying teens turn up at this abandoned house for very dubious reasons which they then can't seem to get out of while a couple of guy's try to kill them while Tony Todd watches on drinking tea, watering his plants & talking to tortoises. There's never any background given to the killers who to be fair only kill a couple of people, in the fact the amount of bad guy's that get killed equals the amount of of teen victims. There's some head scratching scenes like when these teens seem to be trapped inside this house but there are clearly unprotected windows that they could smash & simply climb out of, it's incredibly boring & at 90 odd minutes in length it feels more 90 hours as it drags on towards a predictable & tame ending. None of the events in Are You Scared are thought through & it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense with paper thin character's, terrible dialogue, awful 'computer graphics' & a game that is no more complex than these teens having to find a way out of this house. The film tries to say something about our fascination with death & that the internet has made it easier to fuel our fantasies but it has zero impact as it's lost in a crappy script that just sucks & bores.The main thing I want to know is where did the '?' go from the title? I mean the first film Are You Scared? was grammatically correct but Are You Scared 2 misses the '?' for some reason, maybe someone forgot or was so stupid they didn't know you put a question mark at the end of a question. There's not much gore here, there's a bit of blood splatter, a knife wound or two, an impalement & that's about it. Annoyingly shot like a home film there's no style or atmosphere & it looks cheap from start to finish.With a supposed budget of about $750,000 I'd like to ask where all the money went? Maybe on Tony Todd's embarrassing cameo in which he gets to talk absolute nonsense & never leave the same room. Apparently filmed in Baton Rouge in Louisiana. The acting is poor with half the credited cast members of the production crew with the first victim played by the wardrobe supervisor while the 'hulking brute' was played by the special effects guy & production designer.Are You Scared 2 is a rubbish no budget horror film that plays like a terrible teen slasher with a low body count, no nudity, no humour & supposed satire that fails miserably. One to avoid, even fans of the original should steer well clear of this.
Claudio Carvalho Dallas (Tristan Wright), Andrew (Chad Guerrero), his girlfriend Taryn (Andrea Monier) and Reese (Kathy Gardiner) compose the DNA Team in an Internet game where the objective is to find treasures in hidden caches. While searching the last treasure to beat the record of the game, they are chased by two psychopaths controlled by the sick owner of an underground site that is filming their movements and they have to fight to survive.The direct-to-video "Are You Scared 2" is a messy, sadistic, stupid and annoying movie that uses all the clichés of the genre. The story begins without any development of characters or explanation of the silly GPS game. The dialogs are terrible, and the character Reese is irritating. Most of the situations are ridiculous, like for example Andrew deciding to return to the control room, or kissing his girlfriend while having a psychopath on their tail. The edition is awful, with scrambled images and unusual camera angles. I am just scared with the possibility of a sequel of this crap. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Armadilhas Mortais 2" ("Mortal Traps 2")
dbborroughs Messy film about a bunch of people using GPS to find a hidden treasure as part of game. They are unaware that they have been set up by a killer who is filming there every move. One of the worst films I've seen in quite awhile. Its construction as a series of video feeds really doesn't work since results in a these oddly connected series of scenes from unnatural angles. It would help if there were a real sense of a story, but its not really there. Its more a plot synopsis that looks to have been written illegibly on a torn envelope so the resulting film is utterly incoherent except in the broadest of terms. Its stupid people in peril. I'd like to say that the gore effects are good, but I have stress nothing else in this film is.
