The Strange House

This might not go down in movie making history, but if you just need some lighthearted movie entertainment, and something which is also family friendly, then this will be just for you.

Just ok ! Sometimes a bit slow and boring... but worth to watch! Not scary ! Fritz was very funny - if you like the goonies, Tatort and stranger things, maybe you will like this !

It was not the worst movie I have ever seen but also it was not the best. I loved Fritz, I think his character was the only reason I kept watching. The ghost's looked fake and the actors were all dull. I did end up finishing it, but it felt a bit drawn out. It had a few curse words in it but I still was able to watch it with my 11 yo. If you have nothing better to watch I would say give this a go. Definitely not a horror, to be a horror it would need to be scary either in the normal since or the scary since. This movie will not make you jump what so ever.

This film should appeal to younger teens who love films where other young teens get together to uncover mysterious crime stories as in Scooby-Do and Stranger Things. The Strange House (2020) aka Das schaurige Haus (2020) is a ghost story that takes place as a haunting in the new home this family now lives in the small town.

It starts out with a family who leaves the city for a place in a small town that is more affordable but unaware of a triple murder that had happen 40-years prior. The rumor was that a mother had poisoned her two children and committed suicide. The family is unaware of the history of the home until the children make new friends with other children of similar age in the town.

The woman's handsome boy of the house with his little younger brother meet with a pretty village girl at a summer party. They hit it off well and they meet another child who becomes their nerdy friend. The three set out to unravel the true mystery behind the murders that had taken place back in the early 1980s by investigating clues much like a Scooby-Do or Goose Bumps story.

It's a fun movie for younger teens and tweens. Not very scary. Its more fun seeing them piece together clues to figure out who was actually responsible.

I'll leave it at that. You have to watch it for the big reveal at the end of the show.

Quite nice horror movie for teenagers, I definitely don't recommend it to an adult audience though.

The young actors do their best but the pace is slower than the story would require.
