Le manoir

It was silly, kinda dumb in parts, but also entertaining and hilarious! And pretty good FX too. I enjoyed it!

Leave your brain aside and just enjoy a French (I think) part-parody of the string of US 'college friends in a haunted house' scenario. We watched it on Netflix tonight and had a fun time.

One of those movies that's not bad enough to turn off, nor good enough to keep your attention. I did chores meanwhile, and when the music heightened I knew there would be a good murder, I watched those parts.

This is a French horror they said with an overlay of comedy. I must say that in my entire life I never laughed with French humour but I do adore their horrors. Over the top gore mostly or straight in your face.

Sadly, Le Manoir doesn't contain one piece of that. The humour is so childish that I rather thought kill 'em all in stead of run run. On part of the horror, it's really never there. You must wait until the last 30 minutes until things go wrong but it's low on gore or let's just say horror. The effects on the other hand are really well done and above mediocre.

Maybe the funniest part is the Spanish speaking boar. And maybe teens could have a laugh with the sex jokes told. Is it worth seeing for the geeks, well, if you haven't got anything else then you could see it but otherwise it's a waist of time.

Hard to judge this movie to be honest, it's supposed to be horror/comedy, well it kind of is, but then again it feels really weird. The humour in this movie is really dry, never knew the french could make a movie like this, quite surprised.

As far as horror is concerned it isn't scary nor was it meant to be by the producers, so not being scary and at the same time not really being a comedy it really leaves this movie quite empty. Can't really describe it as cliche, since the whole setup here is way different than that of a Hollywood horror/comedy movie, sadly this movie just doesn't feel satisfying, the plot twist is quite horrible too. The acting isn't the greatest either, so really don't know what to make of this mediocre french horror flick.

I wouldn't say this is something really worthwhile, as there are a lot of great movies of this genre out there, for example, ''Tucker and Dale vs Evil'', ''Shaun of the Dead'' and ''Zombieland'', just to name a few, i noticed some people here are comparing this film to these movies and i strongly dissagree as this film does not deliver on any of the fronts the above mentioned horror comedy classics do.

Overall not a great watch, do not listen to people comparing this mediocre movie to great cult classics only due to the fact its foreign, i get that people are thirsty to appreciate art outside of the well known Hollywood layout, which is a posittive side note, but a movie being different does not always make it amazing!
