house ii represent the second story start with with a scene where two people be shoot dead by a mysterious figure in a large house just after they hand their young baby over to someone or other and i do not really know who or care to be honest . an on screen caption now inform u that it 25 year later . jesse ( arye gross ) and his girlfriend kate ( lar park lincoln ) move in and the two people shot and kill earlier in the film just happen to be jesse parent . precisely why jesse have decide to move in now be unclear to me and i mean wouldn not the house have change hand or have new owner in the space of 25 year . and but once again i be really not bother in the slight bit so just accept it . jesse friend charlie ( jonathan stark ) and his girlfriend jana ( amy yasbeck ) also move in as well . while do some research jesse discover that his great great grandfather be a notorious outlaw in the wild west famous for steal a crystal skull . jesse and by some stupid reasoning and think that the valuable crystal skull maybe bury with his great great grandfather corpse and together with charlie decides to dig him up . a luck would have it the crystal skull be indeed bury with jesse great great grandfather and even lucky that no one else have think to look for it there . however it seem that the crystal skull have magical power and jesse great great grandfather and who thankfully for my typing finger like to know as just gramps ( royal dano ) and be alive . jesse and charlie take gramps back to the house and gramps tell them the story of the magical crystal skull and unfortunately it very boring and uninteresting so i would not bother retell it here . all you need to know in a nutshell be that the crystal skull have magical power and the house be build a a temple to it and various people and creature throughout time and space want it include gramps old partner in crime slim ( dean cleverdon ) . jesse and charlie feel they must protect the skull from all these evil people and thing and the end . wrtten and direct by ethan wiley i do not think that much of house ii represent the second story at all . the script be a bit of a mess a it try and unsuccessfully in my opinion and to cross various genre like western and horror and comedy and fantasy and adventure with unsatisfactory result on all front . the character be silly a be the monster and situation the film create and i mean what that electrician guy bill ( john ratzenbereger ) all about . i think he be one of the most stupid character i have come across in a film for some time . it move along at a fair pace but i wasn not really that interested in anything or anyone . the two main lead seem to be have a contest over who can come across the most annoying and it a pretty tough call at the end of the day a they both obviously put a lot of effort into win . there no blood or gore and the only horror element be the rotten zombie slim who look quite good but isn not in the film that much and i also like slim zombie horse as well . talk of slim zombie horse the special effect on it be poor and a be most of the special effect in house ii represent the second story in fact and although a i have already say the zombie slim look good . on a technical level house ii represent the second story be fine and edit and photography and music and overall production value be adequate . the act isn not so fine and those two male lead be just so annoy to watch it untrue and they be definitely not funny in any way shape or form . generally speak house ii represent the second story be a bit of a waste of time as far a i be concern but it move along nicely and it try to be a little bit different and provide me with at least some entertainment and it be just a shame that the film end up all rather pedestrian and tame and somewhat dull . not really my cup of tea at all and i think i will stick with the original house ( 1986 ) rather than opt for a move .
