annoying missing links between original and this one!!!


The whole point in the first was whoever gets out get one million dollars, but in the end only 2 make it out with 2.5 million each.

Now in this one, Sarah lives in a shabby apt and is constantly bothered by what she experienced in the asylum. With 2.5m, she would be living in much better conditions and be seeing a psychiatrist for her "problems."

8 years later, this movie is pointless really. Was the first one even that big of a hit?


Also the whole lesbian scene was pointless.. actually, the entire Asian woman character in the movie was pointless! It just seemed like they had that in there for some sex scenes, which was a weak attempt and stupid too.

1. Well it'd be a little hard to see a psychiatrist and tell them about what happened in the asylum, they'd definitely think you're nuts and probably not the kind they can treat with talk therapy.

2. I agree though, for as much money as she has, she should've been living in a better place..and just WHY the hell didn't they get the same woman to play her for this movie? Her character was in it for a total of what, 30 seconds?

3. No I don't think it was...shortly after it came out I read a bunch of reviews online and most people complained about how boring it was or how disgusting, not too many people seemed to like it. And wouldn't you know, they're saying now there might be a THIRD movie in this series? HOW? The evil is gone from the asylum (if this movie bears any relevance to the plot).

4. Agreed...of course that other chick wasn't much better...just another dumb slut with big boobs who can't do anything except be a skank, run around like a chicken with its head cut off and get killed.

regarding the "how can they make part 3"...there's a little post credits sequence of a couple making out on a beach and something is pinching her back so they dig and find the statue in the sand.

oh and it features more pointless nudity....but i gotta give them credit about the pointless nudity, all the girls had natural boobs...its a nice change. lol

Yeah, the statue got onto the beach, it won't return to the Vannacutt Asylum so where's the house on haunted hill supposed to be next time?

Exactly what I was thinking. A third film would be totally pointless, because it wouldn't even take place in the same house.

Could be a plot for someone finding the thing, and it possesses them to return it to the same place it's been for so long, however all the ghosts have now escaped and ascended... so the plot would have to be the Doctor coming back from hell to lure a whole heap of new victims in.

The first one was a small group for revenge the house wanted.
Second was trying to tie up loose ends.
3rd is just trying to get back into business and making it utter chaos... probably something stupid like a Halloween rave party where 100's and 1000's of people party there.

Lesbian scene was hott and the best and only reason to watch this film :)
