Ghost House

Meh another possession "hand me down" type of movie, or sacrifice to get rid of it. 1 or so parts were predictable, but honestly its just a movie to watch nothing really unexpected. This could have been a lot better, but it is what it is cause movie makers now a days that make "scary" movies SUCK AT IT!

Ghost House is worth a watch, it's a decent horror, with a few good moments, some decent scares, and it's well acted.

My criticisms would come from the fact that it contains virtually every single horror cliche in existence. We have the wise woman, the long haired female ghost, an English villain, arched backs, a ceremony, literally everything you would expect to see in a horror film is on show here.

Despite all that though, it is still a good watch, the beginning is very atmospheric, and the way in which the young couple are manipated into trouble is very well done.

It's unsurprising, but decent. 6/10

We have seen the typical horror movie from Hollywood. Jump scares haunted mansion and the usual dark scene in the basement. First of all, this is not the standard template Hollywood horror we are used to. Contrary to the title, nothing happens in a haunted house but everything is a wild goose chase to get rid of a curse.

Th movie is not a poorly made remake of any Asian stuff either. It's a Hollywood movie which happens in Asia, follows the Asian horror template closely and mixes a pseudo type adventure film with "National Geographic's Banged up Abroad" cum Indian Jones metaphor, with reference to a couple trapped in a foreign country having a problem with something they unknowingly messed with. The movie combines the usual jump scares of Hollywood, an ugly old ghost and ritual ceremonies, commonly seen in Asian horror. The acting performances are decent for the most parts. The plot flows smoothly for a good execution. However, the film works better in an adventure "Indiana Jones" type of film than horror.

One of my main gripes about the movie is that the jump scares could have been better presented in a more scarier way, which of course is my own subjective opinion.Instead, it follows a generic method that has been used umpteen times in movies in the genre.However, there is enough suspense to keep u at the edge of your seat with the usual "what will happen next?" question. Watchable if u can overlook the horror elements and treat it as and adventure film

This is among the better lower budget supernatural movies out there, many are not so great - I've watched nearly all of them out there. The story is good! An American couple visiting Thailand get unwanted attention from a vengeful spirit. Plenty of good "Gotcha" moments if you like to jump! The script could be a little better but it's not bad, actors did their best with what they had. This movie is definitely worth a watch if you like scary ghost stories! Don't believe the snobs who wrote some bad reviews, for lower budget scary movies, this one is a lot of fun - great ending. There's a few sexually explicit scenes in case you have younger kids. Check this movie out!

Saw this recently on a DVD. Found it to be lame n full of clichés. The film is about an American couple holidaying in Thailand who find themselves haunted by an evil spirit. This film has shades of Drag me to hell, a la the spirit will torture for three days n will consume after that. Well, the director of this film ain't no Raimi who did a terrific job with Drag me... Here the scares r annoying at times because its been done so many times. Pretty much everything is borrowed. The film does boast of some good cinematography. The Thai countryside has been shot very well. The place where the shaman lives is almost like the lair of Medusa from Clash of the titans n also similar to the castle of the wizard from Conan the destroyer. Situated in the middle of nowhere, the road/way to it is totally spooky with the mist n water surrounding it. But what do these shaman eat n what do they do without any amenities or other stuff? Personally, i have disliked most Asian horror scares i.e. scary girls with black hair, twisted bodies, disjointed movements, old witches, hollow faces, dark eyes, sudden jump scares n pop ups. Some of its effectiveness has been diluted by imitation. Demonic possessions premise has been done so many times that only die hard fans of the genre may enjoy this.
