Leave your thoughts about House II: The Second Story.
| StarburstRyan PollardHouse II doesn't quite have anything similar to the strong performance of the original's Bill Katt anchoring the picture, but it still has plenty to make it a worthwhile follow-up that's definitely worth watching. |
| Chicago TribuneDave KehrFor the most part, the humor in House II is mild and conventional, and the suspense sequences never amount to much, thanks largely to the film's failure to play by any identifiable rules. In a film in which reality can be bent and rebent, following the director's whim of the moment, it is nearly impossible to establish any real sense of danger. Menace requires integrity, and "House II" doesn't have it. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonIt means to be funny, with a cast including several talented young comedians (among them Bill Maher, as a record business exectuvie), but it's not. |
| Lawrence Journal-WorldJon NiccumIf nothing else, one of the great titles for a sequel |
| Tyler Morning Telegraph (Texas)Jonathan R. PerryIf fewer critics were to decry how bad it is, this in-name-only sequel would succumb to the obscurity it deserves. |
| Washington PostRichard HarringtonGenre aficionados looking for chills and thrills will be disappointed; this one could play uncut on television -- network, not cable. The effects and the jokes are equally few and far between, and for all its amiable intentions, House II deserves few boarders. |
| User ReviewAnthony TLOVED this movie! So wacky & fun! Bonus: Jayne Modean as Rochelle. I remember as a 'teen clipping all her photos out of the old J.C. Penny's catalogs, then sneaking up to my room to jerk off all over 'em! Good memories! |
| User Reviewbill sThis movie was, is and will always be awesome, one of my all time favorites since I was a kid. if you haven't seen it, you should. it's a real treat from the 80's. |
| User ReviewOlcán LWhile a terrible sequel, it was one of my favorite movies as a kid, and I still enjoy it. Watch it was it's own movie and it's really a fun movie you can enjoy with younger family members. |
| User ReviewTerri CThis movie is awesome! Watch it now, it is hilarious. |
