Jesse and his friend Charlie dig up Jesse's great-great-grandfather Gramps to find a crystal skull that was buried with him.

Trivia
House II - The Unexpected is a sequel to House - Das Horrorhaus , a surprise hit in 1986.

Bill Maher, who later had his breakthrough as a comedian and television presenter, can be seen in a supporting role.
criticism
The lexicon of international films judged that the production offered “conventional entertainment” and saw in it a “largely unimaginative” sequence of “fragments from various genres.” Only “some [...] parodic [...] Moments [...] " would provide a little entertainment.
