Fashion editor Ariel (Amanda Righetti) refuses to believe her sister's scary stories about the abandoned insane asylum on Haunted Hill. But, when her sister is found dead of an apparent suicide, Ariel and her boyfriend, Paul (Tom Riley), find a journal in her apartment that has information about a cursed statue worth millions, hidden on the asylum's grounds. The discovery leads deranged anthropology student Desmond (Erik Palladino) to kidnap the couple, forcing them to help find the statue.

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

This movie is a definite improvement over the first. The acting is a bit corny as one would expect from a horror movie, but overall not terrible. The plot about the statue is kind of dumb. The ghosts look really good and the doctor is still maniacal. The deaths and gore ate really well done and they look scary too. Plus we get a lesbian ghost scene I mean who doesn't love that right?! Overall I really enjoyed the movie I watched it back in 2008 and am rewashing it now in 2024. If you like the house of the dead movies you'll like this movie. I question all the 1 star reviews I question if you guys truly even like horror movies. It may not be on the level of the movie Insidious but I think this movie is still good.
