those of you who and like me and be disappoint with the original 1995 horror yarn and the fear will find more to be disappoint with in this silly little sequel . it sort of follow a similar plot and but it be impossible to connect to the original and with the exception of the presence of morty and the mannequin monster make of wood . here be a brief overview . twenty year after mike hawthorne ( gordon currie and in a decent performance ) witness his father brutally murder his mother and then take his own life and mike be still suffer from the fear of that day . in hope of rid his fear and mike take his girlfriend and a bunch of friend up to his grandparent home . his plan be for everyone to dress up in costume that represent their fear and and then present the fear to the mannequin morty . accord to an indian friend and this process be suppose to magically take away one fear . what mike doesn not know be that morty be possess with his father spirit and and begin kill off the friend . or be it really mike himself do the killing . who care . a have a few trouble with this film . the first lie with morty . i think the original make morty look rather convince . this time and it be painfully obvious morty be a man ( actor jon fedele ) in a fake look suit . this can especially be see in early scene and where morty be still suppose to be inanimate and but if you watch closely you can see him blink . another trouble be that most of the character do not try hard enough . some of them do and namely betsy palmer and of friday the 13th fame and who be excellent in this film . but most of them do not make the effort or weren not give the chance . finally and there be the killing . the opening scene involve ax murder be very convincing . actually and when i saw them i think i be in for a good movie . when the second half of the movie arrive and and the killing really start and everything fall to piece . death be either uncreative and unseen and or foreseen ( glimpse of the next scene a currie have a blackout ) . one character die in the end and no one and include the viewer and even notice . while more characterization be need in the beginning half and it wasn not too bad . the second half be . i think new director chris angel get to this point and really do not know how to shoot the violent scene and so they turn out real sloppy and pedestrian . a silly end doesn not help either . thus and unless you really love the original and enjoy pluck splinter out from under your skin and you should probably skip the fear 2 represent halloween night . zanatos score represent 4 out of 10 .
