A slight improvement if still heavily flawed sequel

Hearing of a potential show idea, the crew of a paranormal investigation show head to a remote island rumored to be covered with creepy dolls to look into the cause of mysterious incidents there only to learn the entire concept was a ruse to allow a distraught father to steal their soul for his daughter.While this might be a better entry than the original, it's not a high bar to climb. The wholesale change to the storyline offering up the idea of the crew coming to the island so that they can be eliminated and the host can be used to host the soul of his dead daughter, comes as a solid change of pace from the original. Rather than the ghostly interactions and haunted nature of the original, the change to a more grounded and human protagonist attempting occult works brings up a different tone and concept for the sequel. Even though this storyline itself might be a highly cliched and unoriginal setup, the infusion of this idea against the still creepy location and environment makes for some intriguing enough elements within here. However, there's still not a whole lot here to enjoy. Much like the original, the pacing here is an abject trainwreck with some of the most glacially-slow dialog scenes trying to spell out the history of the island, the concept of their show, or the scenes around the island trying to hook up with each other that it never manages to build any kind of energy or enthusiasm for what's happening. Given the inherently stupid nature of the plot involving the human sacrifice and the various occult means at play involving the attempt to prepare everyone for their quest, the film just plods along with much of anything happening at the expense of the genuine genre thrills due to the lack of kills or gore on display. That also accounts for the rest of the issues with the storyline here, which are just nonsensical and mean practically nothing here. There's little reasoning behind the need for the helper to be wearing the plastic doll mask that they chose, which makes that character redundant even more compared to the other assistant putting in the work to carry out the sacrificial ritual. The whole purpose of everything is so lame and lackluster that it never comes close to being reasonable enough to work as a worthwhile motivation. As well, with the comically inept confrontation scenes offering no real energy or enthusiasm, completely moronic concepts for how they're supposed to play off, and a confusing ending that doesn't explain much, there's a lot of issues to be had with this one.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language and Violence.

How bad?

Utter crap! Who on earth gave this the go ahead and paid for it to be made? Having said that it looked like the budget was no more than a couple of quid and a night in an Air b and b in a field, oops sorry it's an island we promise, look, every now and again the camera pans to some water so it's definitely an island. The best thing that could have happened is when the 'boat man' doubled his price to take them they all said nah let's not bother then. I did see it through to the end though, and can confirm that it's probably the worst film I've ever watched, but it just doesn't quite make it to the so bad it's good category.

That said I'm hoping for island of dolls 3 just to see if it's possible to make an even worse film.

More rubbish...

I watched the 2023 movie "Island of the Dolls" just a week ago, and it was a rather abysmal movie, and thus I harbored no great expectations to this 2024 sequel titled "Island of the Dolls 2". So why even bother with the sequel? Well, because I believe in giving a movie a fair chance. And who knows, maybe writers Harry Boxley and Sam Gurney would deliver a more impressive script for the sequel than what writer Oscar Wenman-Hyde did for the first movie?

Well, I have to say that very early on in the movie it was clear that "Island of the Dolls 2" was not going to be a masterpiece or a particularly interesting horror movie. It was just oozing with that low budget and amateurish attempt at a horror movie atmosphere.

The script was generic. Sure, if you're a newcomer to the horror genre, then you might enjoy what Harry Boxley and Sam Gurney delivered. But if you, like myself, am a horror veteran, then there is very little to be enjoyed in this movie. Creepy dols? Check. Camera crew shooting documentary on location? Check. Deranged man trying to bring his dead daughter back to life? Check. All been done and seen before, and often with much better result.

I didn't really understand the Santana (played by Jenna N. Wilson) character and why the writers opted to conjure up that particular character. The character's appearance and role in the movie made very little sense. And the voice that kept changing made no sense either.

I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. That is actually something I do enjoy when I sit down to watch a movie, believe it or not. Despite the script being rubbish, I will say that the acting performances were actually fair.

The character Hughie (played by Tom Beechcroft) pretty much summarized this movie quite well around 28 minutes into the ordeal when he said "absolutely not".

For a horror movie, then "Island of the Dolls 2" was not a great movie. It was about as enjoyable as the predecessor from 2023. But hey, at least if you enjoyed that one, then you will also enjoy this sequel.

My rating of director Andrea M. Catinella's 2024 movie "Island of the Dolls 2" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.
