The
Invoking 2
is a low budget supernatural anthology horror flick that has some
genuinely creepy moments that will appease fans of the Insidious
and Conjuring
films. The shorts are directed by newcomers Jamie DeWolf (OK
Monster),
Jay Holben (Jack
Frost, Paranoid),
Corey Norman (The
Hanover House, Natal),
Adam O'Brien (Insane,
ZombieWorld),
Patrick Rea (Nailbiter,
Time's Up, Eve),
and Jamie Root.
Although
hundreds of disturbing paranormal events occur every year, most of
these chilling encounters go unreported... until now. Bear witness
as hapless victims experience the unspeakable terror of confronting
demonic forces, murderous poltergeists and other evil entities that
are dead set on claiming their souls. Descend into an abyss of
waking nightmares as these bloodthirsty, malevolent spirits seek to
possess their prey and drag them - kicking and screaming - down to
hell. While it's always fun to watch an anthology film this one
isn't scary or original enough to gain cult status.
Presented
in standard definition with an anamorphic widescreen aspect ratio of
2.40:1 and a lossy Dolby Digital 5.1 track, the film looks and sounds
fine on DVD but could benefit from a Blu-ray upgrade. No extras.
