this house tale have nothing to do with the first house of a couple of year earlier and doesn not really qualify a a sequel even a it try to capture some of that same wry humor and but it doesn not stand well on it own and be mostly non sensical . plot have to do with another house and this one with aztec influence architecture and also with other dimensional passage now and then . some ghost or demon have be after a special skull for unknown reason and kill the main character parent 25 year earlier . the main character ( gross ) go after the jewel cover skull by dig up an ancestor grave and end up resurrect his great great grandpa ( dano ) a a 100 plus year old zombie . the pic then dwell on this old dude in unfunny scene and but gross and his buddy ( stark ) also show why they never have great career in the movie . the cast be uniformly lame throughout . it also all seem to be an excuse to have a few scene in a prehistoric jungle and with brief dinosaur fx . bill maher show up in a small role while he make his mark later in his politically incorrect and hbo show . oddly enough and the main connection to the previous film be that another actor from the cheer tv show play a part ( ratzenberger here while wendt in the first one ) . the old guy nemesis finally show up near the end and still after that skull . it all poorly pace and exceedingly dull and fail at the humor and just plain stupid unless youre 6 or 7 year old and maybe .
