The House in Sherwood

I enjoyed this film! It started kind of slow, but I liked that this wasn't a jump scare kind of horror film. It was a spooky one. I will watch it again. I am curious to see some of these other films from the UK.

This is a low production found footage film of a woman, psychic, investigating the haunting of a home. She is broadcasting live to rebuild her reputation. as a psychic and medium. At the same time and often in split screen, a woman is playing mean spirited pranks on the psychic as she feels robbed by the psychic for a bad suggestion. The focus on screen is often a small view, and this makes it seem very amateur. The acting of the psychic is okay but nothing special. The acting by the other woman is borderline camp and often off putting to her scenes. There is very little scares or thrills to this film. The presentation of the ghost has a eeriness to it, but little is done to extend or enhance this. Interesting concept that is poorly managed and presented.

If you haven't seen any of British Director Richard Mansfield's films, they are very low budget, found footage, and glacially slow. Usually with very simple plots. This one is certainly low budget and almost painfully slow but actually the plot is an improvement over his other work, especially over "A Haunting In Sherwood", which this is a sequel to. This is far from a good film, I can't even say it is a particularly entertaining film, but it isn't the worst way to spend 70 minutes. Once it finally gets going there are a few actually inspired chills, bit not enough to make up for the dullness of the first two acts. Keep trying Richard, you're getting closer to making a decent film.

It started off so bad I switched off after 5 minutes. Next day I went back as nothing else to watch. Worth it, despite how naff it seems at first and the ott of the 2 leads. If you like found footage horror, keep watching and watch the background in Karens footage closely. I adore found footage and this is worth a watch.

The acting of the two lead actors was so hammy and over the top, that this so-called horror movie came across as a spoof comedy.

Found footage movies are where the characters show us what they are seeing. But for the major part of this film, we had to endure close ups of the two characters' faces, including their ugly teeth and skin pores.

The actress who plays the antagonist is particularly irritating.
