I'm gonna be completely honest and say I couldn't really focus on House 2. I was watching it during my Halloween party. So there was a lot of conversation and activity going on. I will write about what I saw.
House 2 appears to be about a Crystal Skull that may or may not be in the first film (It's been years since I've seen that one.) From what I could gather, the Crystal Skull can apparently grant eternal life to those who possess it (or are in it's general vicinity?) Two brothers who apparently know of this legend move into the house where all this hocus pocus goes down. They're great great grandfather used to live there. They find their grandfathers grave and resurrect him. What ensues from there involves a lot of time travel, strange creatures, and gunfights.
House 2 hardly even qualifies as horror film. It's more of a fantasy adventure that just so happens to be a sequel to a haunted house film. It's kind of similar to Waxwork 2 in that respect. Some of the creature effects are neat and there is some pretty choppy stop motion. For what it's worth, House 2 is probably a fun fantasy adventure film. Just not the creepiest horror film you could pick out with Halloween coming up.
