Surprisingly good
I was after something a bit trashy and silly to watch and was pleasantly surprised to find out that as well as being silly and trashy, this is actually lots of fun.

It’s a ridiculously funny and over the top comedy horror, with a decent amount of blood and gore and some rather unique (albeit maybe a tad unbelievable) deaths. It features a lot of your typical horror/teen film stereotypes, some of which are a little irritating (I.e. Bella Thorne’s character, but that might be because she can’t act...) but the others work well with the cheesy and comedy aspects of this film. The main reason why this film is better than expected is due to Samara Weaving. She’s a fantastic actress and plays the part of bets friend babysitter and crazy murdering devil worshipper perfectly, and her character’s relationship with Cole is surprisingly quite sweet (at least for the first 20 minutes). She really makes this film more than a cheesy second rate comedy horror.

Overall a surprisingly entertaining comedy horror with a nice and short runtime.

That's one reason why I watched this @Dean as I really enjoyed Ready or Not. And thanks, assuming that's for the badge!

Brilliant film!
Where do I start, I personally don't have a problem with low budget films, especially qwerky comedy/horror's like this one. It all started when a young man stayed awake to see what his babysitter got upto whilst he sleeps, turns out the hot fun babysitter called Bee (better known as samara weaving who played a brilliant rill in the comedy horror ready or not!) is part of a blood cult, a deal with the devil and tries to perform a ritual but this scared kid reeks havoc as he tried to escape them because no one is to know what happened that night.

With this well made film, 2 years later it goes back to see how his life is now since then, no. 2 offers good twists and I was happy to see they used all the same actors! In this sequel there is plenty of blood gore and comedy to keep you entertained. Definitely one to watch if you enjoyed the first one this will not disappoint.

I found it very disappointing, not a patch on the first one.

Yet another low-budget British knock-off of The Day the Earth Stood Still, distinguished (sort of) by the fact it's managed to secure the services of one of the stars of the original film, Patricia Neal (the movie never got an American release as it might have drawn a plagiarism suit from Fox). Bloke from Venus arrives in the home counties to deliver a grave message about the dangers of atomic weapons, engages in chaste sort-of romance with a woman who lives locally (Neal), is messed about by the government.

At least it's a little easier to take seriously than Devil Girl from Mars, but the production is even more primitive and it's a lot less fun. Helmut Dantine does the best he can, dispensing cosmic wisdom in a gravelly Austrian monotone, but the punishingly low budget really shows. The purest kind of rip-off - there's nothing here that isn't in the original movie, and everything that is here is less accomplished and less interesting. Not awful, though, nor is it without a certain historical curiosity value for SF aficionados.
