part II better than original

House II was much better than the original House. You'd almost have to watch the two movies to know where I'm coming from. Part II had a more interesting plot to say the least. If you like horror movies with humor than you'd like this one. November 22, 2008

Avoid completely

i watched this thinking it was going to be a decent sequel and my friend watching it with me kept commenting that he saw it when he was a kid and he thought it was good then. well not far into the movie you can see its going to be crappy. too family orientated to be a decent sequel to the first. but if you do have some youngsters that want to watch a 'scarey' movie than this would be good for that, other than that avoid at all cost.

Not Gorey Enough to be "Splatstick," But Still Fun

A complete departure from the previous installment, "House II" is more of a light comedy with some horror overtones than a serious horror movie.

Still worth the time, though, if only for the ingenious cameo by John "Cliff from Cheers" Ratzenberger. (Interestingly enough, Cliff's buddy Norm [George Wendt] has a supporting role in the first House movie as the annoying next-door neighbour.) July 8, 2008

Great fun

House 2 is a great movie, but I don't want to write anything about the movie here since you can find information on it all over the internet. I'll focus on the particular DVD.

Pros:

+ Quality is fine
+ Picture is sharp (almost no noise)
+ Correct/original aspect ratio and uncut movie

Cons:

- Audio is only Mono
- Few extras (only a trailer) April 10, 2008

Just watching this is a horror by itself.

The first House was bad enough. But this one is far worst. I was forced to sit through this garbage again tonight. Started out so creepy and turned into pure fluff. I hate this movie! Calling this horror is nothing more than a cruel joke on horror fans. If your kids can sit through a "horror" movie with the lights off and have a good time. Then it's not worth the time.
