Are You Scared 2 (2009)

Team DNA, an obnoxious self important group of four friends, is going for the world record in geocaching and just need to find the last hidden treasure. Subscribers to their website can watch as they record their adventues, oooo how exciting.

After camping in a wildlife refuge (?!?), the group uses their gps to locate an abandoned building in the middle of nowhere which supposedly holds the treasure. Unbeknownst to them, it also holds multiple video cameras, two flunkies, and Tony Todd who is controlling it all and plans to make them the next victims in the live broadcast on his underground website.

Todd spends his time mumbling, playing with a turtle, and watching his inbred henchmen try to kill the kids. The kids turn out to be incredibly stupid making it easy for the flunkies to find them. Some of the stupid antics we are treated to are:

• one of the girls refuses to go anywhere until someone tells her what is going on, even though they are being pursued by a maniac who is trying to kill them.
• one of the guys tells the others he'll stay to fight the killer who is chasing them so the others can get away. Their brilliant escape plan is to hide in a closet at the far end of hte room.
• after running around trying to find a way out of the building, they finally come up with a brilliant idea, "I think we need to get to the ground floor." Really, you think?
• the map given to them by Todd repeatedly leads them to dead ends but they continue to it. Finally one decides they should, "just need to do the opposite of what it says."

While this is the only movie I've seen with a geocache premise, they shouldn't have made the assumption that people are familiar with this . Many viewers will have no idea what these kids are doing. Even if you do know, the onscreen gps coordinates are distracting and add nothing to the film. Who cares what the coordinates are? It makes no difference to the plot.

Also why did Todd pick these particular kids and how did he manage to set up his operation in the spot where the treasure was hidden? The kids are annoying as hell, but if they're well known geocachers and on the brink set a record, people are going to notice when they disappear.

There are cameras everywhere. In fact, there are multiple cameras everywhere. The closet the kids hide in shows at least four camera angles in the footage. Would anyone really put that many cameras in a closet in hopes that perhaps the kids would hide in it?

There are shots of the kids going upstairs, then downstairs, then upstairs again. That makes no sense. And it happens several times in the movies. I'm guessing it was supposed to make it seem like they were covering a lot of ground, but it makes them seem like they're not getting anywhere.
