Return to House on Haunted Hill, a review by addicted2dvd

Return to House on Haunted Hill
The house has a second story, even more terrifying then the first! When a new group of unsuspecting visitors enters the legendary 'House on Haunted Hill,' they come face to horrifying face with an unimaginable, unrelenting evil. Trapped with the spirits of the sadistic Dr. Vannacutt (Jeffrey Combs) and the insane asylum inmates who died there, the newcomers discover one by one that this time the house won't let anyone leave alive.

My Thoughts:
Another one I really enjoyed watching a lot. I went into it not expecting much... what with being a direct-to-dvd release and all... so that probably helped me a bit. But even though it did have a couple small slow spots... for the most part I really enjoyed this movie. This DVD is unrated.. so it is no real surprise that there is a fairly nice amount of gore in it. The quality looks good... and as for extras... there is a few things here... but I really didn't take the time to look at them this time around.

For those that are interested Here is the trailer:

Plot:
October 30th, 1991, a Canadian Airforce CC-130 Herc, Box Top 22 tail number 322, left Edmondton, via Greenland, on its way to Alert a top-secret military listening post on Ellesmere Island. The captain John Couch, could see the lights of the airstrip at Alert, so he decided to go by his eyes instead of his instruments. Eighteen passengers and only 5 were killed by the crash. Roland Pitre was the first to hit the ground, he was the loadmaster. Although they were only a few miles from the base of Alert, a blizzard and the terrain, made it impossible for help to be sent at once, although every effort was made to get to them.

Extras:

• Scene Access

We decided to watch this one tonight. Which was a pleasure... as this is my type of film. A disaster film and true story. It is one I enjoyed very much. There was a couple familiar faces in it. One of course being Richard Chamberlin. The other was Catherine Mary Stewert who I enoyed very much in the '80s horror "Night of the Comet." If you never seen it, this is a TV Movie I would definitely recommend. It is one I hope to add to my own collection before too long.

HawthoRNe: Season 1 Ep. 1: Pilot, a review by addicted2dvd

PILOT
Christina, a strong and caring hospital nursing director and single mother, negotiates the monumental challenges of her job while raising a smart, willful teenager.

Notable Guest Stars:
DB Woodside (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, 24) as David

My Thoughts:
This is a very good start to the series. It does a good job at introducing all the characters. The medical cases worked on in this episode is only average... but they did have to set up the entire series with this one so understandable.

My Rating:
