Maksim S Nov 24 House II tries to recreate the quirky charm of the original despite the story having no connection, but ends up feeling like a chaotic grab-bag of ideas with no real direction. Dinosaurs, cowboys, zombies — the film throws everything at the wall, hoping something sticks, but the result is more frantic than fun. Its humor is broad, its stakes nonexistent, and the story never settles on a tone long enough to build any tension or meaning. There’s creativity here, but it’s unfocused, leaving the sequel feeling lightweight and forgettable. Entertaining in passing, but ultimately a misfire that misunderstands what made House work in the first place.

Amazing zombie cowboy performance by Royal Dano just adds to the appeal of this off the wall horror comedy. See more Robson C 05/30/2024 Jesse muda com a sua namorada para a mansão da família. Lá ele descobre sobre uma caveira de cristal descoberta por seu tataravô que possui poderes mágicos. Com a ajuda de um amigo, ele desenterra o seu tataravô e encontra a caveira, mas também traz o seu parente de volta à vida. Ele então o alerta que a caveira é cobiçada por muitas pessoas que querem usá-la para o mal. A partir daí, a casa torna-se a passagem de vários seres em busca do artefato, levando Jesse a várias aventuras. Sequência que não tem nada a ver com o seu antecessor, a não ser o tema de casas estranhas e mal assombradas. Enquanto o primeiro mesclava horror com humor, aqui o filme torna-se mais uma aventura meio Indiana Jones, onde homens da caverna, indígenas pré-colombianos e pistoleiros zumbis surgem atrás da caveira de cristal (na verdade uma peça de plástico extremamente visível). Com um orçamento maior, houve um bom investimento em maquiagem e animatrônicos, abandonando aquelas criaturas ridículas do filme anterior, que já pareciam refugos de monstros do Power Rangers, muitos anos antes. O roteiro é horrível, com personagens surgindo e saindo de cena sem explicação. O que era aquele eletricista? O elenco não ajuda e a direção existe? Mas mesmo com tudo isso há alguns aspectos que o tornam um pouco mais assistível que o seu antecessor. See more Blu B 04/18/2024 I don't even know what to say here....this is just bizarre nonsense. To try and make any sense of the story, characters, or anything is just a futile endeavor. I will say the first 4 minutes is nothing but a tease as you think this is going to be a solid haunted house horror film and than it becomes a horror comedy, pure comedy, fantasy, adventure, and why not throw a western in for good measure. Shocked there wasn't a musical end credit number. The humor it goes for is just surreal. The story is so nonsensical because it moves so freakin fast it literally will forget the last scene it was just on about and not come back to it at all until randomly 20 minutes later. Rinse and repeat. I'm all for turning your brain and off and having a good time but there has to be SOME semblance of sanity. This just has nothing. If you forced me to explain the story to someone I genuinely could'nt. Skip this completely. See more David P 07/30/2023 Watched this movie a lot as a kid. To this day it's still my favorite of the series. It's kind of all over the place, mixing genres, but it still has its charm and is amusing nonetheless. See more 05/30/2021 This underrated video store gem from the 80's is a radically different take to the franchise and is more of an action-adventure comedy than horror. A highly entertaining roller coaster that tops itself by pushing how insane the next scene can be. Also a good movie for kids if you want a soft introduction to 80's horror.
