We are again treated to a storytelling scenario but the sequel fails to outdo it's predecessor. This time around we get a collection of short stories that have a conclusive ending but that doesn't make up for an incredibly messy narrative. The stories were also a bit less interesting and incredibly predictable. One story in particular tried to take a comedy/horror route which, while somewhat funny, made very little sense. I also found the pacing to be quite slow, adding to an overall mundane effort.

It wasn't terrible at all. Only down side really was i needed to turn the speed up pretty high to get through it. The pace was what would have made it terrible. Thankful af for that speed button.

I feel like these stories were more humorous than scary but I can't even be mad at it.

I think the last one of the elevator game was my favorite though. It was too funny. XD

The second story was okay but confusing, honestly.

The first story just reminds me of every snickers commercial I've ever seen.

Horror Stories was not an engaging movie, but it did grab the attention of the viewers in the beginning scenes and the first story. 2nd movie in the series serves us a rather dull first act.

[ Cliff - Jeolbyuk ]
The premise of this story is simply unbelievable. It looks more like an ad for Snickers rather than a horror movie. 4 days without water in these conditions would make them so tired I refuse to believe they would have the power or strength to fight for that chocolate bar. Especially since eating it would make them even more thirsty. Since the setting is this unrealistic, the whole mood of the story falls short.

[ Accident - Sago ]
It's fair to say this one was the most boring and predictable of all the stories. The set up was unoriginal, the characters were not captivating and the horror element was almost nonexistent.

[ Escape - Talchool ]
This was the story I was most excited about. Jung Bum Sik also directed the Haewa Dal story in the Horror Movies and it was for sure the best out of the 4 presented. Surprisingly, I also loved Escape, but for a vastly different reason. The comedy was over the top, the scares were ridiculous. Even though it did not fit the overall mood of the other parts of Horror Stories II at all, I still enjoyed it the most. I'm not gonna lie, I did crack a smile and laugh a few times.

Overall, it was worse than the Horror Stories. It had less of the plot, less interesting characters and less scares.
