The Devil’s Toy Box is Allen Kellogg’s sequel to his 2011 debut 7 Nights of Terror, an information era horror which put seven unlucky reality show contestants in a haunted house. Kellogg’s sequel is a savvy slice of spooky fun and a nice expansion of a relatively straight forward but well-played debut. As a sequel, it feels like the Rec 2 or Grave Encounters 2 kind of move, taking the haunted house idea and giving us plenty of what we’d expect and a nice amount of what we don’t.
Kellogg himself returns as Carter, the sole survivor of the first film, last seen getting mowed down by a speeding car. After nonchalantly passing it off as a non-fatal, Kellogg zealously kicks into his story with genre awareness and generally well-executed scares. Perhaps more importantly Kellogg, along with co-star/writer Spencer jay Kim, has created some watchable characters, with plenty great actors to fill their boots.
