Review of Return to House on Haunted Hill (2007) by Evie M — 09 Nov 2007
That's right...I saw it so YOU wouldn't have to. Now that i"ve seen all of the House on Haunted Hill movies (including the 1959 original) I can say that this one was the worst. Not as campy as the original or as genuinely scary as the remake.
The CG and gore effects are fantastic but what else is new? I'm tired of ghost movies where halfway through the plot changes to "oh they aren't bad or trying to scare us, we've just been misinterpreting the ghosts' attempts to get us to help them.
..we should go help them and end this once and for all." Why can't there just be evil ghosts? How about a ghost movie where the ghosts just simply want to mutilate you (like in, I dunno, the 1999 version)? Good to see Jeffrey Combs from "Re-Animator" is still working in horror though.
