“The Jack In The Box: Awakening” (*1/2 out of four) was a dispiriting sequel to the even-worse 2019 original that not many I don’t think were clamoring for a follow-up to; this time around, a dying older woman (Nicola Wright) opens the title Jack and enters into a deal to cure her terminal illness in exchange for the lives of six innocent victims putting her at moral crossroads in which she has to question if her own life is more important than others. Stuffy and blah horror show without any style or imagination. Written and directed again by Lawrence Folder but there’s hardly any prizes in this “box.”
