Geez, some people are rough on movies!! Awful? Think again. Great? No. Was it really meant to be? I don't think so. Its a Direct to DVD release. A Damn good one at that! If you hold it up to some horror classics, it will lose. Now put it next to some other Direct to DVD movies and it will win. It has everything you would want in a "fun" horror movie. Gore, Action, Hot naked ladies, and even some dumb jokes! What else do ya want? Sure the acting and Special FX could have been better but we can't win Every time. Does that really make it "awful"? Hell no. Give this film a little bigger budget and we have a winner. Maybe even better than the remake a couple of years ago. Fans of that one should definitely check this out. It has some back story that wasn't really touched on. So, think about it, its actually a sequel with a reason. More than you can say for a lot of Hollywood Blockbuster sequels... Am I right? Huh? Am I right? For all you haters, why would you watch it in the first place? Did you REALLY think it was going to be the next big thing? Chill out! Every movie doesn't have to be an Academy Award winner. Relax, Enjoy, and have fun...
Another Dark Castle production, this time a sequel to a remake that nobody asked for in the first place. RETURN TO HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL sees a group of disparate types holing up in a haunted mansion one night, hoping to claim a jackpot but falling foul of the usual malignant spirit forces. This one is even further away from the fun spirit of the Vincent Price original than the first film was.
The plot is entirely negligible here except to offer a group of unlikeable characters trapped and wandering around a single location. Evil doctor ghost Jeffrey Combs is the only cast member to return from the original, but he only has a scene or two. Instead, the film offers endless scenes of CGI-augmented gore to the viewer; bodies are pulverised, ripped limb from limb, and people have their faces cut off. It's all unbelievable, unremarkable, and quite uninteresting. The director goes out of his way to scare the viewer with jump scares and CGI ghosties floating about, but overkill is the order of the day here and as a result the film is a bit of a joke.

The origin of the House of the Haunted Hill is the following : a confrontation of biblical proportions incinerates everything and everyone inside what was one the City of Angels most celebrated medical facility, the Vannacutt Institute for the Criminally Insane. But the secret this inferno burned free was for more frightening that any picture Hollywood could produce. A sanatorium massacre supervised by a surgeon gone mad, Richard Benjamin Vannacutt(Jeffrey Combs). Little known but likely the most prolific mass-murdered of this century. He out-butchered Bundy, he made Manson looks meek. And the site of this carnage exist today, restored almost to its original state. But it has yet to be inhabited, because some say the spirits of Vannacutt and his victims still live within the walls of the mansion of the haunted hill. 8 years have passed since Sara(Ali Larter) escaped from haunted house, her sister Sara(Amanda Righetti) goes into the house along with professor Richard and a students(Cerina Vincent, Andrew Lee Potts,Tom Riley). But a band(leader is Erick Palladino) of treasure hunters looking for the statue of Baphomet kidnap them and go violently inside the mansion. The house suddenly closes itself and they encounter trapped inside and soon supernatural creepiness begin frightening the hosts. Then they'll spend a ghastly night in the spooky house with killings-laden history.
This eerie following contains bit good fun with grisly killing, relentless horror and lots of blood and gore. The chiller follow-up packs genuine chills and terrifying deaths such as a horrible quartering. Unknown casting while the previous part was full of famous actors(Geofrey Rush,Famke Janssen,Peter Gallaher,Ali Larter, Taye Diggs). It's professionally directed without originally by Victor Garcia ,in his first movie. Of course the biggest film about this astonishing story is the vintage classic version(1958) by William Castle with Vincent Price and Carol Ohmart.

The editor of a fashion magazine Ariel Wolfe (Amanda Righetti) receives many calls from her sister Sara, but she does not return. When Sara is found dead, apparently after committing suicide, Ariel goes to her apartment with her friend and photographer Paul (Tom Riley). She meets Professor Richard (Steven Pacey), who is seeking Sara's journal to find a lead to the statue of the evil god Baphomet for a museum. Later, Ariel and Paul are kidnapped by the gang of the treasure hunter Desmond (Erik Palladino), who intends to find and sell the statue to a private collector for five million dollars. They go to the house, where they meet Richard, his assistant Kyle (Andrew Lee Potts) and the student Michelle (Cerina Vincent), but the criminals dominate the group. However, the house suddenly closes all the exits and they find trapped inside with vision of ghosts that are reliving their final moments in the place they died.
"Return to House on Haunted Hill" is another "trapped in a haunted house" predictable and forgettable movie. The story uses the same common clichés and it is very easy to foresee the next sequence. The unknown Amanda Righetti and the sexy Cerina Vincent are extremely gorgeous and have good performances in the role of the heroine Ariel and the treacherous Michelle. The cult Jeffrey Combs has a ham performance in the role of the sadistic and evil Dr. Richard Benjamin Vannacutt. The special effects are great but the cinematography and the sound effects are annoying. My vote is five.

A very poor update of the classic i have a few problems with this film -The doctor was seen too much, i feel in the original his presence was more weird, unknown and frightening, in this one he even talks..lame! -Effects were overused and looked unrealistic, along with an annoying squelching sound that wasn't really scary, more like squeezing silly putty. CAuses of death were unimaginative and to quick.
-NO suspense -Cliches made me cringe , use of firearms was as messed up as ever. the use of an special team was also kinda gay.
I would usually really like a movie like this but i was not scared and could not get involved with the movie on any level. what the director was thinking i will never know. the original had suspense, slow, scary atmosphere and scary medical equipment. this movie = cow pat

- QuizThe film was designed for use with the Navigational Cinema technology which allows the viewer to choose between two ways the story can go at certain times within the film, ultimately featuring 96 different story possibilities. The feature is only present on the Blu-ray Disc version of the film. Another film with a similar gimmick was Final Destination 3 (2006), also from Warner Bros. under their subsidiary label New Line Cinema.
- Blooper(at around 53 mins) After escaping from Ariel and the others, Desmond and Michelle walk into a room with windows and the rainstorm outside is clearly visible. Since the building was in lockdown, the metal plates/shutters should have been in place, thus preventing a view of the outside.
- Curiosità sui creditiThere's an extra scene on a beach after the end credits finish. It shows a couple frolicking on the beach and, predictably, finding the Baphomet statue buried in the sand.
