Admittedly I have not yet seen Troll 2 but I'm going to make a guess that this is a similar type of deal. I saw Ghost House on Rifftrax, and from where they dragged is beyond me. Firstly its original Italian title (this film is listed as being from Italy but was set and filmed in the United States) is La casa 3. Some of the related films on the IMDb page are La casa 4 and La casa 5, leading to believe that this film is in a series though I haven't actually taken the time to do any research confirming or denying this. It made relative sense on its own which is why I'm dwelling on this. So the story centers around this house in Massachusetts that's emitting some kind of radio frequency where a guy gets killed which is picked up by this college student in Boston who deduces exactly where it's coming from and decides (for some reason) to drive over there and check it out. He and his girlfriend find some other people there and discover that the house is haunted by this spirit of this girl with a clown doll. Credit where it's due, the film actually legitimately creeped me out which I was not expecting. Clowns generally don't frighten me but for whatever reason this one did. I think that's also due to the very eerie noise it makes which actually got under my skin. Well, at least it did before it sounded off in every other scene and just became annoying. The story is pretty stupid and it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense for the characters to do what they do. The acting is also pretty bad, sometimes verging on being cringeworthy. The comparison I drew to Troll 2 at the beginning is from one scene where a character about to be killed asks some questions like "What's going on?" and "What are you doing?" in a manner almost identical to that film. I'd say give this one a pass.
