Director: Ethan Wiley
Stars: Arye Gross, Jonathan Stark, Royal Dano, Bill Maher
Plot: Jesse and his girlfriend, Kate, are the new owners of the incredibly haunted house and find themselves on a quest to help a cowboy zombie get ahold of an ancient skull.
House II is another horror movie that is more funny than it is scary. I'm actually more of a House fan, which was scarier, but my boyfriend wanted to watch this one because there's a Halloween party. The new owner of this notoriously haunted house becomes friends with a cowboy zombie, Gramps, and assists him in searching for an Aztec skull (kind of like the crystal skull in the latest Indiana Jones movie, in the sense that it is a crystal skull) that possesses powers. Of course there is an evil cowboy zombie, Slim Razor, who tries to get to the skull first.
If you haven't seen any of the House movies, I should probably mention that every room in the house is haunted by different things. One room is a jungle, for example, and Gramps also comes from within the house. Even the skull that they're looking for is somewhere in the house. Here's a pic of the skull:
Apparently there are four movies in this series, but I've only seen the first two. Maybe I'll watch the others; it usually isn't a good thing, though, when no one seems to acknowledge that the other sequels exist.
I realize I kind of started this review off negatively, but the movie is fun with zombies and monsters and other creatures. I just preferred the creepy haunted house plot of the first over the more humorous, adventure-themed second. Which would you prefer?
