House IV (1992 Video)
5/10
The Pizza Man!
15 April 2019
From what I can tell, the House series never exactly lit the box office on fire, so why there are 4 of them (if you include The Horror Show) is totally beyond me. The original was a mildly fun diversion, but each sequel gets worse and worse as you go along finally culminating in this odd duck of a movie.

William Katt is back via flashbacks that appear to have all been shot in an afternoon and his wife and daughter are in danger. You see, they've moved into this house in the desert that's haunted. No, it's not the same house from the original, but a different one. Yep, poor William Katt just seems to attract houses that are haunted. In fact, his appearance in this film is the only way you'd ever know this was a sequel to the original film which gives me the impression that this wasn't originally meant to be a sequel in the franchise, but they figured it would sell better if it was part of a series.

The one thing you'll probably remember from this is the pizza man. There's a catchy song involved and a pizza with a human face attached. It's pretty wacky.
