Review of The Pact II

The Pact II (2014)
3/10
The Pact II
19 January 2015
The heroine of the 1996 film "Curdled" is a young woman who works for the post-murder cleaning service; The heroine, or rather the damsel, of "The Pact II" does the same job, but that is where the similarity ends. To begin with, this film is distinctly lacking in humour.

June is closer to murder than her job; her mother was the victim of a serial killer known as Judas - as in the Biblical connection - and now after a 20 year hiatus, he's back. The only problem here is that Judas is dead, one of his intended victims got the better of him. So who is committing murders in her neck of the woods now, and is she being haunted by something not of this Earth, or is she simply going mad?

Dream/nightmare sequences and the like often present problems for the director, not to mention the viewer, and they are not handled well here. Terrestrial murders and hauntings? Not a good combination, but if you like your damsels feisty and showing plenty of cleavage, you might find that some consolation for the dismal plot.
