House of Good and Evil

From the movie poster / movie cover and the story summary, then I had initially expected something entirely different from this movie compared to what it turned out to be.

That being said, then this movie was a snoozefest. Wow, it just dragged on and on forever with a horribly bad storyline. Nothing scary happened throughout the entire course of the movie, and it is only the last 5 minutes of the movie or so that really are of any importance. I will say that director David Mun did manage to pull off the ending quite nicely. However, the rest of the movie, not so much.

The story is about a couple who lost a child during pregnancy while being stuck in traffic in the city. Some time later, they move to a remote countryside, far, far away from any town. The house is grand and seems almost too good to be true. But the idyllic setting soon turns to horror.

As well-intended as the storyline might have been, then it failed on almost every account to accomplish much of anything. And the most scary parts about the movie was the music score, or the fact how utterly dull and slow-paced this movie was.

It should be said that the acting was actually good enough, but the actors and actresses just had next to nothing script-wise to work with.

If you enjoy horrors and thrillers, then there are far better movies out there to sit down and watch.

There have been some very positive reviews written here on the House of Good and Evil. I'm really wondering were they watching the same movie or merely part of the production crew. I watched the movie off the back of these reviews and any score over 5 on IMDb is in my opinion worth a try. All this I unfortunately found misleading. This psychological thriller is low on thrills and even less on horror. It was a tall order for the lead actress who is in just about every shot in the movie and I can't say I warmed to the character, who was a difficult character anyway must to the chagrin of my girlfriend who also watched eyes rolling regularly. The rest of the cast were not bad, the old lady was excellent, however there was not too much to go on. As the story panned out to the end I was disappointed to find a twist similar to a British movie I watched but days ago, and it was done better in that movie. I'm afraid it just didn't all add up in the House of Good and Evil and I still don't see the relevance of the name.

I decided to see this movies because I saw the its rating is 6.7. It turned out to be the worst movie I have ever seen.

This film is a complete failure in every respect, if you waste your time watching it you will wish you hadn't.

I am a big horror fan so I was disappointed to find out there is absolutely no scares in this film whatsoever. The script is appalling, the storyline is a joke, the soundtrack is hopeless, the 'special effects' are joke shop quality and I honestly can't think of any redeeming features this film has.

There are several parts where the music builds up and up as if something scary is coming....but nothing happens!

I made the mistake of watching this film because some of the other reviewers seem to think it is worth watching and I feel conned-I honestly do. This is not the sort of film that could divide opinion in any way, it is just really, really bad and I cannot understand how anyone would honestly say otherwise.

You have been warned.

I didn't understand this storyline at all! What was the point in the film? Or what was the moral of the story? It was also terrible acting and wouldn't class it as a thriller or a horror. It's definitely a low budget film with no real story to it. The girl that plays Maggie is annoyingly awful. Also that they absolutely adore one another one minute then hate each other the next is strange. It's not realistic at all and didn't really make me want to jump up to find out what happens next. I don't think I'll be recommending the film anytime soon. It's just confusing. My boyfriend fell asleep 20 minute after starting as he was bored and normally he never fails to stay awake during a film. It's a waste of time money and energy. Sorry.
