skull has kept him alive all this time. Now strange things are happening and strange pocket dimensions are opening in rooms
all over the house and the undead partner Slim Razor is after the skull using goons from these Pocket Dimensions.
ZEDD'S OPINION:
The first House was a scary classic, but the second house is a monsterpiece of comedy and frights. I owned the comic book
mini-series that came out when House II came out and after reading it I couldn't wait to see the movie. The genius of the
effects and the characters were great. It did get a tad annoying at times when the Bill Maher's Player character stole his
wife or girlfriend, whatever she was. That was annoying. But that was minor compared to the whole movie. Great performances
throughout the whole movie including the late great character actor Royal Dano known from such great movies as KILLER KLOWNS
FROM OUTER SPACE and SPACED INVADERS. He's great as Gramps. Basically the movie is a buried treasure. However, if you aren't
a fan of horror or the first movie, then I wouldn't take odds of you liking anything in the series. 9 STARS.

VOLTRON'S OPINION:
I agree, the House series is always been tops with me. It has great effects, a great cast, great acting, fun and spooky atmosphere
and I love Bippy. The Prehistoric insect dog. That was one cool creature. 9 STARS as well.

ON THE POSITIVE SIDE (+ HITS):
+ CREATURES (Great creatures effects)
+ STORY (Wonderful story.)
+ CHARACTERS (Most of the characters were likable.)
+ ACTING (The acting was great.)
+ ATMOSPHERE (It was spooky.)
+ HUMOR (Had a sense of humor.)
+ BIPPY (One cool and strange creature.)
ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES):
- BILL MAHAR'S CHARACTER (This Player is annoying.)
AND FINALLY....
- FAN BASED (If you didn't like the first movie or horror comedies in general, then this isn't the movie for you.)
