The Strange House

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.

First of all Fritz is my favorite character in the movie :) it is a little childish, simple story. As everybody says you can watch with your family.

This is the kind of film you could watch with the entire family, it's not scarey it's sort of innocent and it reminded me of stranger things when it was good.

I thought the kids were all good in their roles.

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 !

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.
