The House on Laura Anne Dr.

Literally nothing happens in this movie.

For hours, and it feels like days or years go past - nope still same scene.

Shame really as the cast were doing their best, with a storyline that simply didn't have a plot.

Haunted house that isnt haunted? Check Characters that you feel no affection for? Check Weird neighbour that isnt a neighbour? Check Anything that happens during the movie resembling a plot? No.... lets not bother.

The annoying synth music every ten minutes didn't cause any atmosphere, it simply became annoying very quickly and didn't go away.

Go watch people under the stairs or something, unless you want something on in the background while doing the ironing.

With the pace of this movie it will be heading straight to VHS, its that far behind the times!

This is an enjoyable, if low-budget, thriller. It should be watched by every aspiring filmmaker, because it demonstrates how to create interesting characters, tension, and how to direct scenes for maximum effect, using music appropriately, to create a tense, thrilling narrative--on a very low budget. The story is about a man who buys a house as a surprise for him and his wife, after he lands a job transfer to Florida. The couple have had some past trauma, and so the entire "going to a new house to start over" plot is fairly standard. However, weird things start happening in the house, esp. To the wife, who's there all day as the husband is out working. The pacing and climax are pretty perfect. Due to the "essentials only" direction, along with decent dialog and credible scenes, the movie winds up being quite an original story. There were a few minor quibbles that reveal the low budget (such as not showing the movers, the truck, or the cop car), but they were very minor. The acting by the two protagonists was quite good and credible, as was the nice neighbor lady. The music was a bit too intrusive about two times, but that's it. Pleasantly surprised by this low-budget indie thriller!

This is an impressive and thoroughly enjoyable low-budget thriller. Aspiring filmmakers should take note, because it's a great example of how strong characters, well-timed tension, and smart direction can deliver a gripping story without relying on a big budget. The film makes excellent use of music to heighten suspense and guide the narrative, never letting its limitations hold it back.

The story follows a man who surprises his wife with a new home in Florida after a job transfer. With past trauma hanging over them, the "fresh start" setup feels familiar at first-but the film quickly sets itself apart as strange, unsettling events begin to unfold, especially for the wife, who spends her days alone in the house. The pacing is tight, the dialogue believable, and the climax lands with real impact.

Yes, the budget shows in a few small ways-like the absence of movers, a truck, or a police car-but these details are minor and never pull you out of the story. The performances from the lead couple are grounded and convincing, and even the neighbor adds warmth and credibility. Aside from one or two moments where the music feels a little too forceful, the score works beautifully to build tension.

Overall, this is a surprisingly effective and original indie thriller that proves you don't need endless resources to make something compelling.

What does Jay the husband do for a living? How can they up and move into a fully furnished house and not have to go shopping for clothing, food, etc. Upon arrival?? How could Ava the wife not have to sign the deed for the new house? How could Jay the husband buy a house without his wife suspecting anything amiss when money vanishes from their banking account? What is he alluding to when he says she's had a tough year? Why do we have to guess? When is a movie soundtrack not a movie soundtrack? Why does Ava not comprehend the term squatters?? Why no visuals of a moving vehicle or a law enforcement cruiser?? Why was this movie made? Lots of questions but on second thought .... YAWN ....

Please don't waste your time, money or energy. Go watch paint dry. Move along people. Nothing scary, thrilling, horrifying or supernatural here.

This is a snooze fest. Literally NOTHING happens, you keep waiting on the action/any semblance of a plot to actually begin, but it never does.

I'm presuming the "based on a true story" is when a woman once called the police because she heard a weird noise in her attic. Yep, that's about the sum of this piece of nonsense.

The annoying music all the way through doesn't help, and the acting is drama school bad. The whiny voice of the female lead character made me want to murder her myself.

ZERO plot, zero characterisation, zero scares, zero story.

Do yourself a favour and skip this bore fest.
