***************

Doesn't deserve all the hate I see. It's not THAT bad.
Actually I enjoyed my time with this Anthology Sequel for the most part.
Definitely had its highs and lows.
Ends terribly in terms of the "wraparound" connection... but still.
If people think THIS is a terrible movie, then they just haven't seen enough movies. ...heh...

So... here are the 5 segments:

"ALICE"
Kind of a demented take on the "magical remote control" idea that I've seen in several films. Doesn't really explain why the main character "Alice" is the one who keeps getting messed up every time the controller glitches. But some good gore special effects near the end.

"THE RADIO"
One of the better ones here. Kind of a demented take on the "HER" idea of a A.I. that talks to you and directs your life. Kind of some psychic power to this particular "voice on the radio" and some evil to it as well. But most of the evil comes from the humans - as per usual.

"CALL GIRL"
Kind of a demented take on the "monster in disguise" idea. You see this coming from a hundred miles away, of course. Not a lot to this one, but some CREEP-y make-up in this SHOW towards the end. (...see what I did there...?) Gets gory as well.

"THE PROFESSOR'S WIFE"
Kind of a demented take on the "madman building a wife" idea. Gets very, very, very gory towards the end. It's played all as pure comedy, and this misses the chance it has to be truly horrific towards the end. I mean, it gets there, but if it wasn't trying to "go for the laugh" then it would have been so much better.

"HAUNTED DOG"
Kind of a demented take on the "scrooge being haunted by ghosts" idea. Except this scrooge is just a dick. And the ghost is quite fucking disgusting. I mean, really disgusting. Like, I'm proud of this ghost for how disgusting it is. Seriously, let's stand up and give this disgusting fucking ghost a round of applause. That takes some commitment to be that gross. Well done, sir. Well done.

Overall... a mixed bag, but entertaining enough for a watch.
