Movie Review

This is my first time watching the House movie series must say intro of movie was creepy intro of movie can of gives you vibes to what ahead the plot of story is a writer who trying to write a book is not doing well so after his aunt killed herself so now he figures he going to stay in this creepy house to maybe find out some answers and boy this one Haunted house that is scary around each corner now not sure if this is in his mind or house is playing tricks on him or trying to drive him nuts whatever it is trying to send him a message.

The movie is pretty good on storytelling on this house as movie rolls on there pretty creepy stuff in this one that scares you no there is not killing in this one but effects of this movie is very good with monsters and ugly Creatures scares me some not a whole lot but enough to knock your socks off though in this one as movie goes on you wonder if some of this is real or not the fat lady monster is scary from what I see her face sure is good makeup there.

As more goes on gets a lot better as well most movies I see start off well and some fall apart in middle but this one keep on rolling the last 25 mins are very well written as well after see lots of flashbacks pretty much lead to who was behind this the whole it was friend the whole time who he left behind should of see that coming but did not great twist there at end and did have a great ending even though thought they would have a pop scare to end but did not House was not a bad movie very good it was from start to the end did have some great comedy as well.

Acting

Very good from Willam Katt in this great acting and George Wendt as well he was funny as well acting is pretty much up there in good acting that for sure.

Now was House scary well it was creepy with ugly monsters and at the end we find out who was behind it was even more scary good effects there and Costume as well as for ending it was good there is a house II so thought they would give us to lead to next movie but did not oh well least it had not worst ending so I think this house was you either face your past or fears or end up being drive nuts to kill yourself must say that was good plot don’t see many horror movies write that way that for sure this also a good movie to get away from gory one as well but note monsters are still scary in this one but no killings at all did like this movie something I would watch around Halloween again though watch House if you need a break from bloody movies because this one is good from start to the end.

I give this out of 10/10 a rating of 8/10 for great.
