House of Evil

I usually do not waste my time writing reviews. There is some unnecessary bashing of this movie. I do watch a lot of movies. Most all of them. I enjoy a bad movie a lot. I think they are funny and entertaining. This movie is set in a beautiful home and piece of land. The antagonist is unique. The clothing and atmosphere are period correct. The acting and directing is fine. It is not perfect, but it is fine. There is also sufficient apprehension for this genre. If you haven't seen this one yet, save it until you have run out of other movies. Simply pay attention to what is happening and enjoy the scenery.

I'm not sure what it was about this movie. I watched it. From beginning to End. And I really couldn't tell you what happened. The story was so....devoid of story. And by the time it ended, I didn't care anymore.

Even if you can get past the horrible acting (I mean really really horrible overacting), the plot is so overdone it will leave you bored to tears. This movie is in no way "homage" to the classic pieces of the genre. It was not nearly original or well directed enough to be considered such. Very much a failed attempt. Don't waste your time unless you want a laugh at the bad acting.

I endured through this movie hoping it would improve . I like the 70s vibe, location, and the concept but the script is poor. You can feel the actors trying to make it better which only results in overacting. Overall the production is poor and tries too hard to be scary throwing every horror cliche at it leaving it feeling contrived. Yes, I know it's not real but what makes a good horror movie is one that draws you into its story. This one did not.

Terrible movie...bad everything...really don't waste your time like I did.
