DVD : Return to House on Haunted Hill (Unrated) |
- a great effortOK, just by the title, and the fact that it's a dark castle film makes the viewer kind of chuckle a little. Well this does have some moments that are quite laughable (in the sense of bad acting). However, this movie does have some genuinely creepy moments (the hydrotherapy scene was awesome) and the gore is out of this world for a DTV horror movie. There is lots of continuity errors from the first film to this, and to even think that this bares a connection to the original House on Haunted Hill is absurd b/c all of the original plot/references have been lost. But honestly, its not that bad, its even worth buying because the death scenes are really cool, and the ghouls look awesome. Oh and about all those reviews saying the 'wet tshirt' , she may as well have been wearing a sweater.

- Unecessary but had some momentsThe House on Haunted Hill remake was enjoyablable to me mainly because of Geoffrey Rush. I thought he carried that movie. As most straight to DVD horror sequals go, this is just milking a name and adding some gore and nudity. The 'plot' slightly reminds me of Indiana Jones. We have a professor who wants an artifact for a museum and we have some biceps hired by a collector to find it. Skip about the first 20 minutes, sure you'll miss a forced boob shot but this movie is clearly all about the death scenes. I did have to turn my head a couple times. I'm a girl when it comes that though. It's worth a drunken rental. I've seen much worse. Stay until the end of the credits if you want to dread/hope for a trilogy (or if you just want another boob shot.)

- Warners is trying to aim more garbage at us.....This was a gross movie. Not needed, not called for, and preview audiences must have disliked it so much that it went straight to DVD. It is a stupid film from a stupid company and stupid producers. End.

- Wet T-shirt...umm...The best part of this movie is Amanda Righetti wears semi wet-shirt majority of the movie. She would constantly get wet for no appearant reasons... and that alone is worth 2 start imo :)
Otherwise, this is movie isn't worth about 1/2 a start. It has lots of unnecessary gross scenes. The ghosts this time seem like they want to make their vitims suffer what they suffered in the past. And there are lots of victims this time around. The problem is you wouldn't know or care majority of the characters. There's also almost no plot at all. Most of it just involves setting up who will die next.
Overall, like many horror sequel, the original remake was much much better and there's really no reason for this piece of mess. This is just more gross, not scary at all. I cheered every time I seen Amanda Righetti's wet t-shirt back on sense. If that's not your thing, skip it.
