Review of Return to House on Haunted Hill

Boy, oh boy! It's like Hollywood doesn't even want us to go see movies anymore. This is a perfect example on how to completely ruin any chance on a cool series. The special effects were OK, but even low budget movies are approaching this level now...enough with the cheesy computer effects!! The quality of the fx were even lower in this than in the first movie. A scary nurse with only white, black, and grey makeup on? Woooooo!!! Super scary boys and girls!! And how the commando guy was quartered? I never knew a person EXPLODED when their limbs were torn off!!!!!! The tight camera shots and the spastic shaking (which i am most tired of seeing in movies) in most action scenes just go to show how little they spent on the sets, except for spider webs, was there some kind of crazy sale at the f/x store? The actors had the amazing ability to keep a strait face in uttering some of the worst dialogue i may have ever heard this side of an ED Wood movie. It is possible that the script was penned by the children of the studio execs, that would certainly clear a lot up. The actors also seem to have been told to show a complete lack of emotion during filming. I can understand fresh faces and all, but the acting in this was absolutely awful, no redeeming quality. Most situations in the movie are completely absurd, make no sense what so ever, and leave you wondering exactly who this is targeted at. This was filmed poorly, acted poorly, financed poorly, written poorly...you get the idea. Stay away from this. I watch bad horror for fun, lots of them. Want to see good/bad? See Santa's Slay, thats good, this is just horrid. It makes you wonder how Hollywood can complain that we movie goers don't see enough movies. When crappy movies like this keep getting pumped out by the dozen, lowering our IQ's by double digits, it's easy to see why Hollywood is imploding on itself. Note to Hollywood: Stop making these movies, save your money...a lot of it. Now hire some real script writers, don't let ANYONE revise the scripts! Make some really nice, large sets. Invest in some quality actors, but do they really need to make 20mill a film??? Some countries don't even have this kind of money! If they balk at a pay reduction...fire them. I'm sure they will be fine. Find camera people without nervous disorders. And remember, athletes, wrestlers, musicians, and friends of the family are NOT actors!!
