Review (Return To House On Haunted Hill):

Last night I watched Return to House on Haunted Hill and I'm still on the fence whether I liked the first one better or the sequel. The sequel picks up with the movie showing what Dr. Vannacut did to all of his patients, I don't know why they did that cause if you saw the first House on Haunted Hill then you already know what happened. Ariel Wolfe is the sister of Sara Wolfe, a survivor of a massacre some years ago in the sanatorium "Hill House" Sara claims that phantoms in the house killed her friends but no one believes her, when out of the blue she kills herself her sister Ariel tries to figure out the reason why she did it. Suddenly Ariel and her friend Paul gets kidnapped by the douche bag art dealer Desmond. It seems that Desmond knows a lot about Sara and Hill House. Ariel is forced to help Desmond find a precious artifact, a figurine of the demon Baphomet that is worth a pretty penny, which is said to be hidden some where in Hill House.

A big group of "thugs" all go down to Hill House with Desmond and they set out to find the artifact. What I want to know is if you know what happened at that house why the hell would you go back to it? Why go back to the blood show of Hill House? I guess money is the root of all evil after all. Once things start to go bad the house goes into lock down and everyone starts to freak out yelling "Why is the house going into lock down?!" because the house doesn't want you to leave and it wants you to die a horrible, painful death. Idiots! One by one each person suddenly falls victim to Hill House which leaves Ariel, Paul, Desmond and Richard to fight for their life before they become the next victim. Desmond gets killed (good riddance!) and the ghosts try to get the rest of them but Paul distracts them so Ariel and Richard can destroy the artifact since that's the only way they can survive and get rid of the evil ghosts in the house. Didn't they get rid of the ghosts in the first movie? I swear they did. Ariel tries to destroy it but Richard interferes since he wants it cause apparently he's been looking for it for 20 years.

They end up fighting each other cause both of them want the artifact all for different reasons. Dr. Vannacut shows up to join in on the fight, I guess he felt left out. It's probably annoying to see the same old people every single day so he wanted to interact with new people, nothing is wrong with that don't judge him people! ;) Richard tries to fight him off but ends up getting killed cause he is the ghost of a evil doctor after all. After that Ariel dumps the artifact in the sewer which drains through the house and into the ocean so apparently getting the artifact out of the house and into the ocean saves everyone. Once she does that all the ghosts of the patients Dr. Vannacut tortured and killed shows up and turns on the Doctor and ends his rein of terror. Oh come on! I thought they already did this in the first one, since that didn't work I guess it wont work this time and he'll be back to torture more people who enter Hill House. The moral of this story is if you see a house that looks like it could be haunted and something bad like a murdering massacre happened there DON'T GO IN!!! I give this movie 4 out of 5 Skulls.
