A LOW-BUDGET sequel to a flop horror flick based on an ageing video game franchise is not the most auspicious start for any movie.
And sadly, despite a spirited effort, this doesn’t rise above its disadvantages.
Having little to do with the original (wisely, considering hardly anyone saw it) this outing pits Edward Carnby (Rick Yune stepping into Christian Slater’s shoes) against a wicked witch.
It all looks so cheap, and the dialogue goes past “so-bad-it’s-good” and straight into “just plain bad” again.
A decent supporting cast of B-movie regulars do their best, but ultimately it’s just not interesting or engaging enough to keep you watching, let alone thrilled.
