House on Elm Lake

That... good lord...that was without a doubt the absolute worst "movie," on every single level, that I have ever had the misfortune of watching. My time would have been better spent bobbing for self respect out of a rusted out, industrial strength, powered on blender. The "acting" was horrible at best. The sfx were nothing more than Halloween store props. The director needs to go back to selling sand to the Middle East from Mother'sbasement. The costume designer, well, the costumes were probably provided from the local C- rated haunted attraction. Ok, the writer... good lord, you need serious mental help, Jesus, God, and Allah, and a healthy supply of 8000mg sedatives, for life. At some point, there was a meeting where everyone agreed that this was a good film. Someone, EVERYONE, should have said, hey, this sucks, lets not do this. Anyone involved in this flick needs to be on an FBI watch list. In short....if you have the option of watching this movie or driving your car off a bridge... well, grab your keys, sugarbritches.

This movie is absolutely terrible. Do not waste your time watching it. The acting is atrocious and the story line has been done a thousand times over. It is basically a poor man's amityville horror. I would write a longer review, but this movie is not even worth a second more of my time; that is how bad it is.

Weak cookie-cutter horror movie that's been done many times before. Previous owner did bad things, new owners experience violent "echoes" of the prior events. The "horror" consists mostly of some gore and jump scares, but to me the worst part of the movie was that the director seems to think that prolonged loud, jarring noises (screams, music- like cacophony, screams, and screams) make for a scary movie.

They don't, and this isn't scary - it's aggravating and annoying. I actually fast-forwarded through many of them.

Otherwise, the movie is just a retread.

This movie had so many chances to be half decent. Although the acting was subpar the story could have saved it. But nope! The story fell into sad attempts to be scary and only ended up a letdown. Not sure why I keep giving these movies a chance...must be a glutton for punishment hahaha

As the summary says, if this is the better version with a budget, i dread to think how bad the original was. I actually wondered if i was watching the original, its Absolutely shockingly bad, do not waste your time, bad acting, bad effects, well bad everything. I watched a good portion of the film hoping it would get better, but no it doesn't, so i turned it off. Cant believe i paid £5.50 for this.
