Better than the first movie...
I remember going through almost every horror movie possible with a friend back in college. One evening, we came upon House. Long story short, it was depressing and boring to say the least, and was a far cry from most other american horror movies. We had nothing to say about it at the very end. We wanted our time back, and we are usually pleased with all movies to some degree.
A week later, I came upon the sequel. We had a hard time amping ourselves up due to the disapointing first movie. But after watching the trailer and the "punny" subtitle "The Second Story" it was a no-brainer.
What a huge amount of fun the second movie was. We cracked ourselves up all throughout. FRIGGIN' DINOSAURS MAN. It injects more fantasy and comedy into the mix. It never bored. Grandpa is a kick ass character and his pet is just so cool.
