Mark H. Harris Black Horror Movies Despite all of this, Return to House on Haunted Hill does actually deliver the gory goods (for a DTV release, at least). Rated: 2.7/5 Jan 10, 2020 Full Review Steve Biodrowski Cinefantastique If you've ever wondered what RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK would have been like if Lucio Fulci had directed it, here's your chance to find out: there's almost enough blood to fill the gaping plot holes %u2013 and that's saying something. Jul 15, 2009 Full Review Scott Weinberg FEARnet There's just too much "down time" and not enough energy to keep the flick afloat. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 18, 2007 Full Review David Cornelius DVDTalk.com Return is a movie that starts with twenty stories worth of bottom. And it's all drop from there. Rated: 1.5/5 Oct 17, 2007 Full Review Kevin Carr 7M Pictures as direct-to-video Halloween thrills go, it's not bad. In fact, it's better than some of the garbage that's being released in the theaters today. Rated: 3/5 Oct 16, 2007 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Topples the original in novelty, entertainment, and sheer visuals, period... Oct 13, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Yuki K This movie is a definite improvement over the first. The acting is a bit corny as one would expect from a horror movie, but overall not terrible. The plot about the statue is kind of dumb. The ghosts look really good and the doctor is still maniacal. The deaths and gore ate really well done and they look scary too. Plus we get a lesbian ghost scene I mean who doesn't love that right?! Overall I really enjoyed the movie I watched it back in 2008 and am rewashing it now in 2024. If you like the house of the dead movies you'll like this movie. I question all the 1 star reviews I question if you guys truly even like horror movies. It may not be on the level of the movie Insidious but I think this movie is still good. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/19/24 Full Review Emilliano Jr S A not so bad nor not so good horror flick. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/29/24 Full Review Jennifer L This isn't a sequel and it has nothing to do with House on the Haunted Hill (original film). They just used that title to get people to watch this film (and to torture them). Do yourself a favor do not watch this film. Such a shame, a sequel had such potential. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/01/23 Full Review Elvis D Esta secuela de House On Haunted Hill es una espectacular continuación que nos lleva de regreso a la aterradora clínica maldita y que ofrece más horror y muerte. Curiosamente, revela el origen de toda la maldad en la residencia (cosa que la película anterior nunca ha mencionado) y a pesar de su trama simple, es entretenimiento asegurado. Está llena de escenas perturbadoras y terroríficas con buenas dosis de efectos especiales, CGI mejorado en comparación con la entrega anterior y gore. Al igual que la entrega anterior, la critica tampoco valoro esta película y lo triste de ello es que cerro las posibilidades de una tercera entrega. Esta película al menos sirve como cierre de la saga, pero con la escena post créditos que tiene hubiese sido genial otra entrega, ya que House Of Haunted Hill merecía convertirse en una saga. Mi calificación para esta película es un 9/10. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/14/23 Full Review Canned S Shallow personnality in characters and predictable archetypes and plot made this horrible to watch. At 10minutes I exactly knew that poor scripting was gonna lead me, a classic american style adventure thriller. The moment they go in the engine room in the attic and open fire to the gear mechanism to "break it" at point blank range just confirmed this as I litterally held my head in my hands out of shame for the guy that wrote this... I couldn't bear to finish it passed 30mins. I adored the 1999 version for what it was and the means they had at the time (and honeslty, how far they went in style exploration in recreating some of the first William Castle's SFX!), and I also enjoyed the original of 1964 which in my opinion was still better entertainment than that 2007 crap. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review steve d A cheap cash grab with no scares and poor acting. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
