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

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.

There's just too much "down time" and not enough energy to keep the flick afloat.

Rated: 2.5/5

Return is a movie that starts with twenty stories worth of bottom. And it's all drop from there.

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

Topples the original in novelty, entertainment, and sheer visuals, period...

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.

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.

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.

Totally one-half of a tomato, I agree with everyone else this movie has plot holes you can drive a truck through, or good to replace a clonazepham.
