Smart, exciting, HP Lovecraft-esque and imaginative supernatural horror comedy shocker from Steve Miner and Sean S. Cunningham who brought you "Friday The 13th" is one of the most original and underrated haunted house movies ever. The film co-stars George Wendt and Richard Moll, this movie became a fiancal success for New World Pictures and got some decent reviews plus a cult following. The film is scary and funny at the same time while delivering excellent special effects and creature effects for their time, there's even a little gore in this movie.

Rating:  - NICE PRINT! NOT AS GOOD AS I REMEMBERED! 3 1/2 STARS!In the 80's there was a growing trend in horror film! Taking old ideas and making them.......eh hip??? This film is like taking a trip through an old dark ride. It's not really scary, but there are plenty of jumps with fake looking monsters. It plays like a made for TV movie and the TV known cast helps to instill that "TV movie" feel. I liked this movie a lot when it came out and remember watching this on some snowy winter days with friends in my isolated home town of Wildwood. It's a strange mix of horror and comedy and neither is done to perfection, but it's a good film and it brought back some memories. The best part of the DVD is the print is beautiful and there are some interesting extras. If your a fan of this film....buy it! Rating:  - BAD HORRORThe beginning is like forever.. Once the movie gets started, it's pretty weird. I don't highly recommend it, but it's not bad for horror movie lovers. You know Bull from Night Court??? He's in it. :D Rating: - 80's HorrorThis movie was one that I watched early in my childhood, and it brought back memories to view it again. Anyone who likes horror or low budget horrors should spend some time watching this movie. The movie is a horror/comedy from the 80's. Do I need to say more? The horror genre has changed into many different forms over the last two decades, and house brings you back to the time where a horror not only made you laugh but made you jump out of your seat at times with the assistance of cheesy monsters. House is very low budget but brings back the credibility of a true horror film that the horrors of today lack. |
