I really wanted to like this (especially since I paid $9 to rent it), but it fails on every level. This movie is in no way shape or form horror or thriller or supernatural. It is a long and drawn out depression fest. The story has no depth and goes nowhere for almost 2 hours. The 'horror' portions of the movie have nothing to do with horror. They clearly tried to make scenes uncomfortable, but instead just made them depressing, but scary they are not. I want a horror movie to be fantastical, scare me, make me want to go to church. This just made me never want to watch another movie by these guys. If you like being depressed and wallowing in misery, then you may like this movie. If you're looking for a good horror film, this is not the one.

Soulless attempt at a sequel. Tried to incorporate original themes, but they just felt lifeless and forced. Michael Keaton was trying his best, but he just lacked the energy of the original Beetlejuice. The subplot between him and the scorned lover made no sense and didn't really add anything to the overall movie. It just seemed like they were trying to force too many things into the movie and it was disjointed.

Terrible soundtrack, overcooked archetypes, recycled story line, 0 buildup of the story to be engaging. Terrible movie.

There was this attempt at building something up, and then a big nothing happens. Not a horror movie. There was some attempt at comedy, I think... Obviously they were trying to play some psychological thriller bit for awhile, but that also was just less than boring. Ends trying to be cerebral, but just fails miserably.

The mtx is cheap, but not a deal breaker for me. The optimization issues are an issues, but again, not really a deal breaker for me. The lack of restarting a new game... well.. that's an issue. But, my main problem is how empty the game feels. It has no soul. There's no connection to the story or characters. The quests feel cliched and lifeless, the combat is beyond predictable, the characters have no depth to them. It's a bad game at its core, and that's not something that getting rid of mtx or improving optimization will fix.
