You almost expect for a sequel to take a step down in quality from the original. Take the classic Predator; it starred Arnie and was directed by John Mctiernan at the top of his game. The sequel had Danny Glover. Yep Danny Glover...but it was still cool beans.
The same can be applied to House On Haunted Hill, a glossy, but ever so crap horror movie starring the mighty Geoffrey Rush with Famke Janssen, Brigette Wilson, Taye Diggs and Ali Larter. So if the original shouldn't be watched again...what about the sequel?
That's correct...it shouldn't be watched. It's got a TV reject cast...that bloke from ER, that bird from The OC and that kid from Primeval. In fact, the most intriguing aspect is tring to work out if the professer bloke is, in fact, actor Stephen Pacey, who plyed Tarrent in Blake's 7 in 1980 (it was).
There's some nonsence about how the events of the first movie were caused by a satanic idol...which give it a Z-Movie, Raiders rip off vibe...but don't let that encourage you to see this.

It was ok. Nicely shot with some decent gore. It's no beter or worse than the first one. And at least in this we got some (albeit fleeting) nekid lesbian ghost sex.
Ahem...er...I'm off for a cold shower....
