  • Parents Need to Know

    Parents need to know that The House Next Door: Meet the Blacks 2 is the sequel to the 2016 horror spoof Meet the Blacks. While the first movie was based on The Purge, this one is more broadly inspired by vampire-next-door stories. Characters use supernatural weapons (like UV light) to fight and kill various vampires, and vampires bite people. Expect nonstop strong language, including the "N" word, "f--k," "s--t," "bitch," "d--k," "retarded," and much more. There are also crass jokes and comments about sex/sexual positions and one brief scene of bare breasts during a striptease. Characters talk about pot smoking, and adults drink at a party. Most of the cast from the original returns, with the addition of Katt Williams as a mysterious neighbor.

    Woman in bikini/short shorts, with her buttocks mostly out. Character talks about wanting significant other to perform oral sex. A character seems to have an orgasm (she touches herself over her clothes, but it's like she's being invisibly touched). Quick glimpse of a woman's breasts during a striptease. "Me So Horny" song plays in a scene.

    Despite iffy content, a message that family should come first, that parents should listen to their children -- and vice versa. Stresses importance of honesty and communication in family relationships.

What's the Story?

In THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR: MEET THE BLACKS 2, the Blacks have lost the majority of their money and have had to move back to Carl's (Mike Epps) hometown, Atlanta. He's supposed to be writing a follow-up to his once-bestselling book about surviving the Purge (based on the events of the first movie), but he can't even muster up one sentence. Carl and his wife, Lorena (Zulay Henao), are also dealing with marital stress, since she has to work overtime to pay the bills. Carl's cousin Cronut (Lil Duval), who lives in an RV parked in front of the house, notices that their new neighbors only come out at night and starts insisting that they must be vampires. This feeling is magnified when they eventually meet the elusive homeowner, Dr. Mamuwalde (Katt Williams), who seems to have supernatural powers, including a sexual magnetism that affects both Lorena and Carl's daughter, Allie (Bresha Webb). With the help of a neighbor (Danny Trejo) and self-proclaimed vampire slayer Mr. Wooky (Michael Blackson), Carl and Cronut plan their ambush of the neighbor's lair.

Is It Any Good?

Our review: Parents say (1 ): Kids say: Not yet rated

This unnecessary sequel is crasser and even less entertaining than the original, which was neither funny nor scary. There's not much to say about The House Next Door: Meet the Blacks 2 except that it will appeal solely to fans of Williams, who at least looks like he's enjoying the ridiculous role of a vampire lord with supernatural sexual powers. The movie's production values are startlingly low, with amateurish special effects. Trejo, who's usually a pleasure to see, doesn't have enough to do to make a positive impact. Epps doesn't do much more than stare at a blank computer monitor and have recycled conversations with the rest of the cast. And Henao, who added a welcome step-maternal touch in the first movie, isn't even in most of the first half.

The two kids also have diminished roles in the sequel, although Freezee (Andrew Bachelor) is back as Allie's boyfriend who has a Purge-related disability. Williams is a talented comedian, but here he's relying solely on the aesthetics of his vampire chic. There are a couple of laughs, but they don't come nearly often enough to rank this as a comedy. Noticeable continuity errors will also take audiences out of a few scenes. Except for established fans of the first movie or of Williams, this sequel is best saved for its release on a streaming service.
