The Rope Curse 2 (2020)

Honestly, when will directors figure out showing less means more in horror movies? There is nothing scary about a lady screaming with CGI all over her face. It’s rather comical.

The Rope Curse 2 for sure had a bigger budget than the first movie, but it also had worse scriptwriting and directing.
