There are many certainties in life. Death, taxes, your first divorce, etc. One thing remains true to the world we live in...terrible direct to video movies rarely get sequels. Routinely, the original just slips away and we never hear from it again. And then there is Billy Owens and the Secret of the Runes.
Just when you thought an incomprehensible mess that was the first movie could exist, now we have this unbelievable melange of pitiful ness. With the exception of the kids, everyone literally phones this movie in. It was like they regretted signing the contracts to make this horrific nightmare. I'm sure the kids thought that, especially the scene where they look like they are freezing to death.
So what is the plot? I don't know. Inverted amulets, trapped souls, wizard fights, Viking lore, power numbers. Wait power numbers was in the first one. Sorry, it blends together so seamlessly in a fine smoothie of nonsense. It doesn't make sense. I get the feeling none of this makes sense. The bizarre ADR in this film and the horrendous quality leaves so much to the imagination. One day there might be an expose as to why these movies were made. And of course I will watch because I am a masochist like that.
Love yourself. Don't watch this film. Just don't.
