As a sequel, it's lame, as a movie, not too bad

I saw Return to House on Haunted Hill on sale the other day and figured to just check it out. For 8 bucks, what did I have to loose? I watched the film last night and over all, I'd say it wasn't too bad, I've seen a thousand times worse. The only major complaint, was the lesbian sex scene really necessary? Like, what did that have to do with the story at all? It's not like it was even realistic, it was some sick director's fantasy, because they are drop dead gorgeous girls who are moving like a porno film, it was just ridicules. The effects were actually kinda cool though, like the scene where the guy was torn apart by the ghosts was visually very cool to look at. The CGI is a little much, but to be honest, I'm at that point where I'm giving up and just accepting it, so I'm going to let go the over the top stuff go, but it's a cool horror story.

Ariel's sister just supposedly killed herself and has a secret about the haunted hill house, there is a statue in there that is worth millions. Leading us to the "bad guys" who are in it for the money and are using Ariel and her boyfriend to the house to get it. But they meet a professor and his student who are also after the statue, leading like Indiana Jones, and claims the statue should be in a museum. But understandably Ariel just wants to get out of there, but the house won't let her.

Return to House on Haunted Hill is not too bad, really. I'd say there is a good amount of scares and the story is decent enough, it's not your typical bad bad sequel that I expected. Would I recommend it to anyone? Not too many people, I think you'll have to see yourself, and be in a good mood to see a horror movie. Otherwise if you take the time to watch this, don't take it too seriously, because you are going to hate it. Gotta love the boy fantasy of having three women together naked and moving like a porno movie.
