St. Louis Post-DispatchKevin C. JohnsonApr 18, 2014
This send-up of current horror movies is a go-for-broke hoot, a hot mess of a comedy that doesn’t have a lick of sense. And knowing that going in adds to the often knee-slapping laughs. Read full review

Some instances of impiousness work better than others. Read full review

Village VoiceSherilyn ConnellyApr 22, 2014
It may be a low bar, but Michael Tiddes's A Haunted House 2 is actually an improvement over its predecessor. Read full review

The outcome is usually fairly tiresome, but on occasion reaches levels of moderate originality. Read full review

New Orleans Times-PicayuneMike ScottApr 18, 2014
There are lulls to be had here, but there is a smattering of laughs, too -- and some pretty good ones, at that. If, that is, you'll give yourself permission to laugh at Wayans and company's lowest-common-denominator antics. Read full review

The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyApr 18, 2014
However rubbery and manic, though, A Haunted House 2 still can’t overcome star attraction Marlon Wayans’ severely limited comic skill set. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyStephan LeeApr 18, 2014
You don't walk into a movie like A Haunted House 2 expecting anything remotely scary or serious, but you don't expect to walk out feeling a terrible sense of dread, either. Read full review

A Haunted House 2 is not a movie. It is a nervous breakdown. Read full review

TheWrapAlonso DuraldeApr 18, 2014
If A Haunted House 2 is a step up from the previous go-round, it's either because a slightly more talented crew of comic actors are being asked to waste their time or because 2013 offered a better crop of horror films (“The Conjuring,” “Sinister,” etc.) to be lazily parodied. Read full review

VarietyAndrew BarkerApr 18, 2014
It’s certainly likely to be among the worst movies in wide release this year, but it’s far from the most hateable, and that should count for something. Read full review

A Haunted House 2 tones down the gay jokes but ups the streak of animal cruelty. Read full review

The DissolveScott TobiasApr 18, 2014
Like sunrise over a steaming pile of garbage, A Haunted House 2 offers another sharp whiff of its predecessor, a Scary Movie-style spoof of the Paranormal Activity movies that makes up in volume what it lacks in invention. Read full review

Definitely exceeds expectations, but in the worst way possible. Read full review

A Haunted House 2 is so dreadful that it demands its own category of dumbness. Read full review
