Well, I live in Spain and there really isn't anything playing here until Star Wars comes out (and that will be in Spanish which is a bummer to me) so I decided to watch some films that I loved as a child but now watching them with the wife. The first of these films is House 2: The Second Story.
When I was a kid, I was psyched to see this. I used to collect Fangoria magazines and I used to marvel at the pictures. After seeing it, I was obsessed with the movie and even wrote a similar story of my own. Now years later, I wonder if my adult self think my younger self is nuts?
Well, no, actually. I can see why kids would like this movie. House 2 is about a young couple and inherit this house and his best friend and girlfriend come over. They discover his zombie grandpa is still alive with this crystal skull and they hide him in the basement. Evil forces from alternative universes in rooms of the house are out to get the skull, and if they get it, his grandpa will die.
It's a fun movie with creatures that might be laughed at today, but I still find them impressive. Like caterpuppy. How can you not love caterpuppy. It's a caterpillar that acts like a puppy and it's pretty darn cute. There's also this prehistoric bird in the mix who at one scene steals the crystal skull and tries to outrun our heroes in a kitchen in the middle of a party.
The movie runs by pretty fast. I always liked that Cliff Claven was in this movie. His appearance is always welcome. I found the movie a lot of fun and much better than the sequels that followed. Good choice, young self. The wife liked it too.
