House of Shadows

Just don't unless you want to watch to laugh the bad acting, special effects and the many flaws in the story line. Biggest flaw that I couldn't get past is .. she claims she doesn't know about the house in the beginning and then half way through she talks about it like she's always known about it. A small detail but the devil is in the details and sometimes I fixate on things like that and it distracts me. I feel like there were a lot of weird filler moments like her always needing to take a shower? Anyways..

If you are a true thriller /horror film fan you will not be able to take this seriously but sometimes it's a good change of pace to watch a silly low budget movie! I.

Lame. Amateur. Dull. Boring. It's not even childish for God's sake... There isn't one element that makes you wanna watch it fully! Except... Sheer Will Power! 😅

I won't go into how bad this was, as all the other reviews cover it. I will say that you never do understand what is going on with this house. On Amazon the movie is called house of shadows, but at the end credits they call it something like "the house that time forgot." I guess everyone involved in those production forgot what they were doing because nothing was cohesive. It definitely leaves you wondering what it was you actually just watched.

And can someone fix the volume please?! The music overpowers the actors speaking the entire time. The male especially mumbled all his lines. But instead of straining to hear him, I just tuned him out completely as he added nothing to story, whatever it was.

I was given the chance to sit down and watch the 2020 movie "House of Shadows". And the fact that I hadn't already seen it and with it being a horror movie then of course I managed to find the time to sit down and watch this movie from writer and director Nicholas Winter.

Granted, I hadn't even heard about "House of Shadows" prior to sitting down to watch it. So I didn't even know what the movie was about. I just knew it to be a horror movie, which was essentially all needed to have my interest caught.

Well, turns out that "House of Shadows" wasn't an entertaining or enjoyable movie. It was just horribly bland and incredibly boring, to be bluntly honest. The storyline was just dreadfully slow and it didn't help one bit that nothing of any interest took place throughout the course of the prolonged story.

And the characters in the movie weren't really overly interesting either. The acting performances were adequate, though. However, with such a small cast ensemble in a movie, then there is a lot more pressure on the actors and actresses to put on memorable and outstanding performances to carry the movie. Well, that just wasn't a thing that happened in "House of Shadows".

For a horror movie, then "House of Shadows" was frightfully devoid of anything scary, much less anything intersting.

My rating of "House of Shadows" is a more than generous two out of ten stars, based mostly on the production value of the movie. This movie was a swing and a miss from writer and director Nicholas Winter.

Please let there be better movies than this coming out. This was terrible. I'm having problems believing I actually made it all the way to the end. 2/10
