 Not related to "Hellgate" which featured exploding goldfish, snapping sea turtles, and phony bats, "The House That Screamed 2: Hellgate" is a entirely different animal, an animal so horrible that it cannot be formally named. Yes, this movie is truly a menace to the senses, despite all of its artistic attempts to the contrary. Like a music video gone terribly wrong, there is plenty of jerky frame-by-frame motion to decimate the population of epilepsy sufferers, and the acting is so wooden that you could almost build a cabinet out of it. The nickel-and-dime special effects are quite a sight too, especially the scenes with superimposed animation of electricity and the man rubbing his missing eyes as his makeup unpeels. I only wish this is all just a high school project, but alas, it isn't. If you can make it to the closing credits, you'll see that quite a few people are in the crew, making this much worse than a product of a few devil-may-care film students. The bottom line: If the title doesn't deter you from seeing "The House That Screamed 2: Hellgate", then you're in deep trouble. Take it from me. |

OVERALL RATING
** NOTE: The more dots on the domino, the better the movie. If it's a DVD with a rating of 3 dots or less, you might as well consider it to be a Deadly Venereal Disease instead of a Digital Video Disk. ** |
