Wouldn't have been better of the sequel had been about someone investigating the deaths and events of the first movie? It would've been a deeper tie and maybe they could've just said that the two survivors ended up losing it and were in a mental hospital or they ran off together and were living overseas or something. Either that or something like "Grave Encoutners" where a group goes there to investigate the house or something and maybe they mention they tried to contact the surivors and they never called them back.
I know, Im a huge Jeffrey Combs fan, and he is always wasted in most things he does, outside of VA work on Justice League and his stint on Star Trek DS9.
Honestly, it's a crime that you don't have more views. :P Another good review. It was a bit less effective as this was a film I didn't see, but I was entertained. Great work, again. Smug As Fuck is a great name... Where was the "choose to end the film sooner than later" option in this DVD?
I'm surprised they never used one of the sealed windows like a guillotine... like, one of the cronies trying to crawl out and run, only for the heavy metal window cover to fall on them. It seems like something they'd do in this film, but nonetheless, we get this pile of shit.
The greasy-haired male student also played Hatter from SciFi's Alice. And literally from that one role, I can honestly say he's too good for this film.
I think I found this channel Saturday, and you really don't have nearly enough subscribers. I don't always agree with you about some movies, but you always have some good thought behind your reviews, and the occasionally great, snarky humor. Thanks much for the good times.
If I had my way, I would change a good portion of the story. People learn about it, seek it out, and find it. They take it to some area, and destroy it thinking it would help. But plot twist, the statue was just some random golden trinket the main ghost villain had. Of course the statue would not be in some flesh room, but in an old safe. The bad guys wanting it cause it was worth a lot of money, and the "good" guys thinking destroying it would end the horror. Of course the status is in a sense bait, no super natural properties, just a creepy looking solid gold statue. How they would escape would be to rip open a hole that the house could not close. Creating a means of blowing open part of the wall, the house reacts as the trapped souls start to escape, of course during this time the final encounter with the living bad guy happens. Once all the souls have gone, well all the ones that wanted out at least, some how the hole slowly starts to heal, going from looking like a part of wall blown up to a semi flesh like bleeding parts slowly regenerating. The living bad guy is dealt with as the remaining good guys throw the golden statue into the house, and the bad guy jumping for it just as the hole finally closes. The bad guy holds the statue, grinning like he won, turning to exit when he sees the ghost doctor, and a few of the other doctors standing in front of him. The bad guy books it away, with the other doctors looking about ready to give chase, Of course the ghost doctor motions for them to stop, as he grins knowing their is no other way to escape. And screaming is heard as the camera pans out.
4:09 That Noxious Fart Joke... DAMN that broke me... I can see I am going to struggle now to get through the rest of this review cause I am going to keep laughing about that ONE JOKE!
Probably sigh and make slightly macabre quip. He always seemed aware that the film where a camp gothic and enjoyed it, revealed in it! I wish they was someone to take up his mantle but as yet no one seems risen (from the crypt) to take his place
You know the first movie was actually a guilty pleasure for me...this was just stupid beyond belief, and I've long tried to wipe it from my memory. :/ 15:20 Dropping a fridge on her head? When the hell did this horror movie turn into a cartoon? >___
Why didn't they have the sequel be about the police investigating into the murderer from the first film? Have the police suspecting the two survivors because of the prize money. For an added touch, have the investigation team have a connection to the house as well. Like have the lead detective be the son of the corrupt cop who turned a blind eye to the mad doctor's sadistic experiments. Yeah, it'd be an astronomical coincidence, but it would fit with the first movie. I'm not even completely against the idea of the statue, but have it be where the doctor wanted to experiment on his patients as ghosts, and not even allowing them to escape him in death. I'll admit that sounds pretty goofy, but that would at least allow for an expansion of the lore without assassinating any character's agency.
@@bakugouthegreat3815 me too, i was in early teens for watching thirteen ghost remake, didn't see house of wax remake, until i did see it in HBO just a few years back.
Maybe it was made by the same guy who made Draculas castle in castlevania, The place can add and shift rooms around of it's own will everytime it comes back or when no ones inside long enough.
Wait, the hell? My version of the movie doesn't have the "choose your own path" feature. So not only did I have to see a movie I really liked get a pretty crappy sequel, but I didn't even get all the features it has? Damn.
The weak scream was a post-production sound issue, not the actor's fault. Why was the professor at Sara's house? He couldn't have been there to see Ariel. And he already knew where the statue was located, so he didn't need the journal.
This may sound irrelevant, but what is this? Is it a film? A series of short films that play depending on your choices? (Well, technically yes.) Would it technically be a video game? Or is "interactive DVD gimmick" a thing?
You are awesome! I discovered you two days ago while looking for stuff about a horror film. This episode I shall call " take a shot every time he says 'smug as fuck' " lol
Funny thing about William Massa, the writer for the movie. He now writes Independently published novels on Amazon (specifically the Occult Detective novels) and yeah, they are just as schlocky and cliche as this movie.
Wouldn't that mean any thing extremely painful, like car crashes for example would always be fatal ? you cant tell me that the kind of severe bodily trauma experienced in a car accident wouldn't be as bad as a face neatly cut off.
Wait what? It was a choose your own adventure DVD? Is this on all DVDs? never noticed on mine....This may actually make it worth while to be in my collection.
I have seen this movie twice and could not now explain the plot or name any of the characters, I guess the 7 branching story points could account for this. I am tempted to try it out but the film is so rubbish I don't think I could put myself through that...
the kill at 8:44 reminds me of the start of a MK " FATALITY", anyone else get that vibe ( would be surprised if that was not what they were going for in the first place)? Maybe she died of shock from fear/ heart attack or just death by crappy writing ? Of course the black dude died first, it's a time honored trope , I have a lot of black friends and not a single one is offended by this trope. However the ones I have talked to about tropes are much more offended when the character is just a token black person trope, or when the character is automatically attracted to a white person for no reason at all out of the blue. I can't blame them it would really piss me off if my culture was represented all the time as only worthy of being a special friend or if it was represented that both the females and males can't date their same ethnicity in order to push a hidden agenda constantly . One of my closest friends ( really she's more like my sister to me I love her so much) is a black gal that shares my love of horror movies and she has brought it up several times to me that black directors are just as guilty of doing this but in reverse although you see a token white actor much less because whites are usually reserved as the villains in a lot of horror movies that try to capitalize on black markets. I'm gonna end this rant here before it gets much longer, but I really think it's sad such practices are used by all forms of entertainment, we deserve better as people of this world with common sense !
Well, I think the face scene with the lesbian(?) merc was she fainted from shock maybe. Otherwise the explanation is just "It's magic ghost shit, we don't gotta' explain it!"
I always wondered about the fatality of the face cutting scene death. The same act was also done in Hostel 3, and I wondered how the person would die bec of that.
I'd say Vannacut was a bad guy regardless of the statue. Electroshock and lobotomy were unfortunately perfectly acceptable "cures" for that time period.
Okay, I looked it up about the face/off and you _can_ instantly drop from shock, and die if not treated in time... but I doubt that just a face removal done that fast is enough to trigger it if at all.
james stevens That would be Cerina Vincent. She plays the slut character in most films she's in: CABIN FEVER, NOT ANOTHER TENN MOVIE, an episode of Two and a Half Men
Watched this movie when i was about 11-12 years old..So yeah..Safe to say i loved it because of that one scene. On the other hand, i also liked the soundtrack by Mushroomhead.
Yes i will, Also I do need to mention, Questions like these would better answered on my twitter or the Facebook fan page, cause its general channel info, not specific to this video
i know its just my wifi is broken as shit and is stuck either on connecting ip address or is connected but doesn't have internet so I'm stuck with this cuz practivally any social media site I use freezes after a while for no reason
Had the final destination that was pick your own.. first choice accidentally saved them all.. annoyed my sister and brother lol . But at that point i was a bit disappointed so just started trying to off everyone and see what each option did.. It was very lack luster really though. I can't really think of a good one but that could be cause I've only seen\played like 1-4 area
5:58 there’s a reason why people use steel targets there hard to break with bullets the heaviest bullet i shot at it didn’t break I was using a gun that used 7.62 the same as the AK-47
Always wanted a sequel to the 99 movie, unfortunately we got it.. Despite the end I loved the 99 movie and thought they could do so much with that story, whether it be a sequel or prequel. This just felt rushed and thrown together, and a huge waste of Jeffrey Combs' talent!
I kind of like the idea of a choose your own adventure film just a shame it’s done badly. 15:47 these ghosts REALLY like touching her face, I was going to say grabbing but it’s more like a gentle caress.
My personal favorite of these reviews. Kinda sad this was so bad, i even own it cause a 3 movie set, but glad to see someone rip into it. Funny enough there was suppose to be a third movie but it got canned.
I’ve seen one ending where everyone dies from shooting each other, one where they all die in the final fight and the villain gets his head put through a projector and an alternate ending where the lesbian henchman survives and finds the statue on the beach.
