August 15, 2009"House 2 - The Second Story" isn't a horror movie like the first one, it's a horror/comedy. Jesse digs up his great-great-grandfather from his grave and finds out he's still alive. Gramps tells Jesse and Charlie about a lost skull that he has to have. That's when the adventure fi... read more

July 22, 2007I used to dislike this movie, but I now appreciate it as a nice comical contrast to the original House movie. It offers a nice story of a house with rooms leading to different time zones: mixing prehistoric monsters with old wild west heroes and outlaws. Like the first House movi... read more

March 18, 2007This sequel comedy-horror is not bad, and John Ratzenberger's quite funny in this film. A series of humourous and mysterious events lead a young man and his best friend to exhume the grave of the young man's great-grandfather, who is magically still alive.

February 27, 2007More of a comedy than the first one. Different cast in a different house.

September 15, 2010I loved this movie as a kid and now that I finally seen the first film, I still prefer this one. I found it fun, but if I watch it now I'd probably hate it.

October 10, 2009THIS IS GREAT! An alcoholic zombie, a pterodactyl,
and a cowboy. Continuing from the previous film a
Cheers star has a part in this film - John
Ratzenberger's best role by far! -
October 9, 2009The first thirty minutes were very boring, after that the film picked up and I was laughing quite a bit. I didn't mind the kid vibe throughout the movie but I did miss the horror part of the series.

July 25, 2008Funnier than the first and also sillier. The second is more of a family film with some adorable puppet creatures and toned-down bad guys. Considering the budget, the special effects aren't half bad. Being a dog-lover, I gave it a half star more for Bippy, the prehistoric pup.

...apparently there's a rule that these House flicks have to feature a star of Cheers, because instead of George Wendt, John Ratzenberger (he played know-it-all mailman Cliff Clavin) pops up as a myst... Full Review

A goofy, lightweight, paper-thin, schizophrenic mess.
