not the true house 2.......2007-09-09

this is actually the third house movie renamed as the second story, the real second story isn't available on dvd or video the second one didn't get the publisity of the first and the third one did the second one was in competition with freddy crugar so it didn't do well and thats why they didn't release it on video the real second one was like a wes craven film in the house the first one was made in.this house is a good film on its own like the first they were suposed to make 4 house movie but stopped at this one.

Awesome superior sequel.......2007-08-14

I love this movie. It's one of those rare occasions when you mix several different types of genres, mix a bunch of different characters, and it completely works as a formula perfectly. In this case you mix aztec with the old west with the pre-historic with modern day. Somehow they pull it off brilliantly. Each character fits. The house looks great, the electrician was a fantastic comedy relief spot, and the action/adventure elements are truly entertaining. It tells a great story and this House movie far out-trumps the original. It's a rare case of a sequel being much better than its predecessor. Entertaining from beginning to end, and a great trip back to an era of great moviemaking. Enjoy!

Different Address..........2007-07-15

HOUSE 2 is much sillier, though far less frightening / funny than the original. This time we've got all new characters in a different house, trying to help a living dead cowboy (Royal Dano from Messiah Of Evil, and Killer Clowns From Outer Space) keep a mystical, crystal skull out of the gnarly hands of another (evil) cowboy zombie. The house itself is a portal to alternate realities w/ dinosaurs, monsters, and a cuddly dogger-pillar (!!). John Ratzenberger (Motel Hell, Pixar's entire catalogue) is Bill, the electrician / adventurer who inadvertantly opens a gate to another universe filled w/ angry aztecs! Bill is my favorite character, and is not in it long enough. Bill Maher also stars as an annoying record producer. HOUSE 2 isn't bad as long as you don't expect anything remotely resembling the first movie...

not as good as the first.......2007-06-27

this was a completely different story line to the first house. still good, but not as great as the original

It's just O.K!.......2007-03-14

Let's get this straight, this movie is not to be taken seriously. It's not gonna win any Golden Globe or Academy Awards. It isn't a classic or a masterpiece either. With that being said, it is strange, crazy, outlandish, interesting, and very laughable and stupid at times. Frankly, it's just good enough if there's absolutely nothing else to watch, and you need to waste some time, you've come to the right place. There's nothing really memorable about it. I've watched this movie several times, and now that I think of it, every single time, I've had nothing better to do. However, I do think it was way better than the first "House" with William Katt though. I know that comment leaves a lot to be desired for the viewers who had the misfortune of seeing the first film. Let's not forget, the extremely chessy special effects. I will give them brownie points for doing the best they could do with the budget, but I can probably guarantee that the same guys did the special effects for both films. I don't know if ths movie can be classed up as horror, but more of a spoof or a dark comedy so to speak. I will tell you that this is the first and last time that you will see most of the faces in this movie. I say that because this movie clearly killed Arye Gross', Jonathan Stark's, and Lar Park Lincoln's career because I never saw them again after this film even though I know their names and faces.
