From mastermind Shinji Mikami, The Evil Within 2 is the latest evolution of survival horror. Detective Sebastian Castellanos has lost it all. But when given a chance. The Evil Within 2 is rated 4.4 out of 5 by 500. Rated 4 out of 5 by James Powers from Evil Within 2 Terrifyingly terrific survival gameplay that keeps you just barely scraping by while giving you an incredible sense of accomplishment whenever any goal is accomplished as well as a very fun/rewarding upgrade system.
This bizarre little horror certainly surprised me, within minutes I had no idea where the film was going or which sub-genre it would fall into. Starring Sean Patrick 'As seen in a hundred b-movies' Flanery and Dina 'Starship Troopers' Meyer this odd little tale follows Dennis a mentally limited young man and his descent into madness & violence.
Heavily open to interpretation but well created this isn't for everyone and generally not the type of film I'd enjoy but by the end I was quite gripped. With a good twist and finale I wish I had liked this more than I did as you can tell a lot of effort went into it and the creator had some good ideas. Kudos as well to the young fella who plays the lead, hopefully he'll piggyback this movie on route to better things. The Good: Lead is fantastic Some great ideas The Bad: Flawed in places Things I Learnt From This Movie: Dina Meyer must have p.ssed someone in Hollywood off I'm never going to be able to look at a ghost train the same way again.
