The Pact 2 Trailer

Set a few weeks after the original, The Pact II follows the story of June (Camilla Luddington - Californication; Tomb Raider), as her nightmares steadily take over her waking life.

Magnetic Linsday Lohan (whose charm also carried the studio's 1998 "Parent Trap" remake) and a revitalized Jamie Lee Curtis couldn't be more ideally cast as exasperated teenager Annabell Colman and her harried, head-shrinker mom Tess, both of whom are given new insights into their contentious relationship when their bodies are swapped through a fortune-cookie hex.
