Having despised the original, I didn't expect much from this rushed-out sequel to the box-office smash first one.

My expectations were right as this time the Wayans brothers spoof such movies as The Exorcist and The Haunting as the survivors of the original spoof find themselves in a spooky old house (Hell House, how funny!) that's filled with ghosts and other demonic things.

Opening with a pathetic Exorcist spoof (that has James Woods stooping to an all-time career low and literally could be described as "potty humour") this soon falls into the formula of the original as it's still vulgar, still stupid and still with lots of really unfunny dumbass jokes.

Granted this does have more chuckles than the original could manage (I enjoyed the "cat fight" moment and the wordplay between weirdo caretaker Chris Elliott and wheelchair bound geek David Cross) but it still panders to the lowest common denominator on the intelligence scale.

Sloppy and stitched together (like a Frankenstein monster of comedy) of unrelated spoofs; this sequel is a tiny bit better but feels like it was written by comitee (it took seven people who probably all just pooled their lame jokes together) and isn't worth your time.
