Review of House II: The Second Story (1987) by Javier R — 12 Oct 2012

The first House movie was campy and ridiculous, almost gaining its cult appeal from its own absurdity and quirky humor, but offer little in actual horror.

Then came house 2 "the second story" the tag line alone told me that the creators had no intention of taking this film seriously. And they didn't. Oddly enough, the lack of seriousness and plunge into shameless insanity makes this film one HELL of and fun, quirky and almost kid friendly fantasy comedy.Too bad it was marketed as a horror film. But in a crazy way, this mismatched genre only seems to enhance the absurdest appeal of this film. This film also leaves you with an almost loveable feeling that I can only recall experience after watching a Henson film.

If you are expecting a scary film; don't watch this. If you want a fun film that'll make you feel like a kid again; Watch this bad boy!
