Despite all of this, Return to House on Haunted Hill does actually deliver the gory goods (for a DTV release, at least).

If you've ever wondered what RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK would have been like if Lucio Fulci had directed it, here's your chance to find out: there's almost enough blood to fill the gaping plot holes %u2013 and that's saying something.

There's just too much "down time" and not enough energy to keep the flick afloat.

Return is a movie that starts with twenty stories worth of bottom. And it's all drop from there.

as direct-to-video Halloween thrills go, it's not bad. In fact, it's better than some of the garbage that's being released in the theaters today.

Topples the original in novelty, entertainment, and sheer visuals, period...

A rare sequel that is at least on par with the original. For its time, it was well done and quite the spectacle. Another good horror film that fans of the genre should see at least once.

A surprising improvement over the original. It isn’t one of the greatest sequels or horror movies ever made but at under 90 mins it gets the job done
