Grab ‘em while you can.“ ––DVD Talk “...solid entertainment, and a welcome addition to the world of DVD... Screenwriter Ethan Wiley gets kudos for integrating Roger’s war-torn past so creatively into the script...” ––DVD Review “House and House II: The Second Story are both fun romps filled with dastardly delights and fun nostalgia. If you don’t get some kind of chuckle from seeing a prehistoric bird trapped in a cupboard while Bill Maher makes wisecracks, well, then you’ve got some soul searching to do.” ––DVD Verdict “House is a great haunted house movie with some good scares... ...one of the earliest films to successfully walk the line between big screams and big laughs.” –

“...more enjoyable than the original...

The visuals are pretty cool...www.google.com

and impressive, considering the movie’s

modest budget.”

––Apollo Movie Guide

"...sequel to the original benefits from Ethan Wiley’s

briskly directed elements of suspense, humor,

and fantasy. John Ratzenberger puts in a funny

appearance as an off the wall electrician, a sort of

AC/DC W.C. Fields." ––Bill Kaufman, Newsday

“With as much fantasy adventure mixed in with horror,

this amiable feature is in some ways fresher and more

fun than its predecessor...” ––Film Score Monthly

“...a manic, light-hearted adventure along the lines

of Army of Darkness.” -–DVD Talk

“The flick maintains a refreshingly throwaway attitude toward its lively material, emerging as a sort of EC Comics Meets Pee-wee's Playhouse. Vet thesp Royal Dano (Trouble With Harry) does an excellent job as an exhumed old-timer."
