The house has some history as our main character Jesse, who returned to the house after his parents’ murder when he was a baby. The story follows a group of young folks staying at a creepy…house (duh). This movie however added many appreciated layers that I did not expect from a horror movie about a haunted house.Īre we still in a…HOUSE? Okay, I’m sorry. The first House movie did a great job in having a bit of humor in the midst of a movie filled with creatures and scares. I remember not expecting much from the flick especially after seeing the poster. When you see a zombie – like hand turning the key to the door, you are expecting a horror movie that definitely has the dead involved and some sort of spooky house. This while sprinkling the audience with good humorous bits, creatures of all kinds done with practical effects and dare I say, a little bit of heart? Let us start with the poster of this flick it actually follows the same format as the previous movie, but as I said previously, this flick has no ties to the first. What made House 2 such an entertaining horror flick is that it takes a nice turn into adventure territory early into the flick. For the sake of not melting everyone’s minds with the history of the House flicks, let us just say the first two were they only ones worth mentioning. I remember assuming that this was was a straight-laced horror flick but ended up being part horror, part comedy, part adventure and ALL ENTERTAINING! Although the House horror franchise is rocky at best, I liked the idea of having each flick as its own separate story. This immediately made me think of one of my favorite horror flicks as a child House 2: The Second Story. Even a house that seemed that old, it almost felt like it was staring at me as I walked by. Overall, the thing that creeped me out the most about the house was how untouched it seemed. The colors were not necessarily dark and gloomy, quite the opposite, they seem to have pastel overtones but they seem to never blend with each other it all seemed to be conflicting by design. What creeped me out about this house was that it definitely felt old but not decrepit it felt like it had history but it stood out from other houses based on the design that felt like the history of the house just oozed of eccentricity. When one travels, walking through an area to get a feel for the local flavor becomes mandatory (even when the heat compares to that of the third circle of Hell)! During one of my strolls, I stumbled upon a house that can only be described as HAUNTING. Yes, your FearTASTIC host is still wandering the deserts of Arizona!
