House II: The Second Story

“It's getting weirder!”

Jesse (Arye Gross) moves into the old family mansion where his parents were murdered years before, and almost at once the house starts sending him visitors. There is his mummified great-great grandfather, a mystical crystal skull, and a zombie cowboy, none of whom seem bothered that he never asked. Ethan Wiley, working from a story by Fred Dekker, plays the whole thing in a light, deadpan register.
