Synopsis from IMDB:
After experiencing what they think are a series of "break-ins", a family sets up security cameras around their home, only to realize that the events unfolding before them are more sinister than they seem.
My synopsis:
Creepy things start happening again to a new mom. Her husband doesn’t believe her. Her stepdaughter and the nanny/housekeeper are the only people that try to help. The results are mixed at best and disastrous for others.
My review
Solid sequel/prequel. Breaks from traditional found footage films by not having unknown actors. Didn’t take me out of it, but it might others. It doesn’t do anything groundbreaking. Follows closely to the formula from the first one, but is still highly enjoyable.
Rating : 8/10
How does it treat…
Women? The dad tries to shut the wife, the daughter, and the housekeeper down multiple times, but they were all right and he wasn’t. Reflects more poorly on him than it does them.
Does it pass the Bechdel test? Yes
How long till a woman speaks? 12 seconds. Impressive.
Minorities? The housekeeper has the answers, but her help is dismissed at first as witch crap because it doesn’t fit with the husband’s suburban middle class lifestyle.
Spoilery thoughts/notes below. You have been warned.
This found footage film already starts off differently. Usually they’re all actors you’ve never heard of before. That’s Sprague Grayden. When this came out, I’d just watched her in ‘Jericho’. I loved her.
The husband takes the baby to give him a tour of the house. He introduces the dog and a fireplace where daddy introduced mommy? Ew.
And the daughter is Mandy from ‘Last Man Standing”. She was my favorite character.
Katie! And the prequel has begun.
That german shepherd is gorgeous.
Katie joking that she’s the evil step aunt and that she won’t let the baby go. Adore the foreshadowing.
Coming home to see the house destroyed would unnerve the hell out of me.
Martine knows something’s up in that house. She’s trying to get rid of the bad spirits. She deserves a raise not ridicule.
“Release the kraken”. No, just, no.
The night shots circulating through really sets up the tension.
The mom is having a personal conversation with Katie. Why would she be filming it and whispering at the same time?
Hunter looking everywhere but at his mom is eerie. It’s like when a cat stares off in a corner in the middle of the night.
That’s right. You stand up for Martine. You are now my favorite member of this family.
I love when it gets to the night footage. I can’t help but scan the scene to see if something’s moving in the background.
“Let’s check the security camera footage” What a novel idea.
Okay, a teen thinking the haunting is cool, seems rational to me.
Threw out “what if it’s mom”. DAMN!
The dog is scared, but still protecting that baby. Good dog.
I get he wants things to go back to normal, but pretending nothing’s wrong is a wise option.
She has her boyfriend come over. And she didn’t lock that back door. Tsk tsk.
And now they’re playing with a ouija board. He spells out pussy. He’s a teenage boy. That makes more sense than Micah playing with the ouija board.
The boyfriend thinks it’s all fun and games till it starts moving and he’s not the one moving it.
The front door is open and it doesn’t phase her? I do love how she tried to look out of the window above it.
I jumped when the door slammed shut.
I love how the dog trotted up to the door like I’ll help you.
The demon pulled the baby out of the crib and then left? What’s scarier to me is that kid had to make it down the steps by itself. And now he’s crawling up them.
How did the baby get back in the crib?
I appreciate that the step mom was trying to take Ali’s side.
If they’d watch that security footage, they’d see what happened.
She’s closing all the cabinets. I’d leave them open and make the non-believing husband do it.
I appreciate she’s trying to be calm to not scare the teen, but still.
Whispering “Katie said we can’t talk about it” is not an answer that Ali is going to understand.
Ali did research to show no male children in that family tree for generations. Use that brain girl.
That poor dog was lured into the basement.
No, not the dog.
Well at least the dad acted on that.
The fake out of her getting away only to be pulled back is brilliant.
The noise the demon/door makes when it slams is truly terrifying.
Okay, Christy just casually strolling up from the basement is all kinds of unnerving.
Your daughter is freaking out to be left alone with the baby and a step mom who isn’t doing well. Call Katie. Call literally any other adult.
Okay, the teen’s use of the camera is perfect. I’d want to document weird ass scratches on the inside of the basement door as well.
Were those made by Christy, the dog, or the demon?
The teen begging her dad to come home is heartbreaking. She sounds so scared.
The mom yelling at Ali not to touch the screaming baby, unsettling.
The actress playing the daughter is so talented. Her begging the dad to watch the video before he goes upstairs is heart wrenching.
I get he needs a minute, but listen to your daughter. Get out of the house.
He called Martine!
Now he’s arguing with her about what to do. You called her for help. Now shut your pie hole and let her help.
I love the grown adult and the teen arguing about the morality of passing the curse on to Katie.
I knew something was about to happen when he leaned in close, but I still jumped when Christy lunged at him.
They said Christy wouldn’t remember, but starting when? Because Katie asks if the creepy things are still happening and she says no, not what are you talking about?
And it goes into the beginning of the first movie. I do appreciate things like that.
So Micah was killed on the 8th. What was Katie/demon doing for a full day?
Katie looming in the background.
She kills the dad. He passed it along to Katie and didn’t say a word. Had Katie in their house, swimming in their pool and didn’t say a word. I’m okay with his death.
Why kill the sister? Because she was holding the baby? Or was it because she was part of that bloodline?
Ali survived! She’ll be traumatized for life with her parents dead and her aunt and little brother missing, but she survived.

okay, so, I've collected a bunch of DP fandom stuff that I remember off the top of my head, specifically in chronological order & colour coded here in this post (fics/comics, tumblr posts, important imo) for no reason other than I saw a post asking for Phandom history & it triggered my biggest, most long-running hyperfixation & now I'm curious if anyone else remembers stuff.
this link is going to be the permanent version I will be updating, but I'm posting what I currently have (gonna go through my old laptop later for more) just to let people know. you can also find the link on my blog, but only on desktop. It isn't colour coded there, sorry.
please share more if you got anything else cuz I'm 100% sure I'm missing a lot of stuff & am too interested now. the biggest reason a lot of stuff isn't here is that I simply can't find it. second biggest reason is i forgor. things not included here aren't "unimportant," this is just the first stuff that comes to mind.
