I actually really enjoyed this. It has it's cheesy moments and some ridiculous overacting but it has a charm to it. The plot twists may get a bit out of hand but Jacob Lofland (who should be in a Children Of The Corn movie) is menacing enough to keep things ticking over. One of Blumhouses better recent efforts.

Not necessarily in a bad way, a very odd movie, but kept my attention easily to the end. I liked it. This is probably the shortest review I have ever left... I found it worth a watch.

Try this movie if you're sick of watching the same old slasher horror movies. This movie has a good storyline and a lot of twists that I didn't see coming.

Interesting little horror thriller, about the BAD things people do to each other. I found Isaac very unnerving and a bit charming at the same time. This feels like an old school style horror movie, like Burnt Offerings or The Other (both 70's gothic horror)
I found it overall kinda satisfying except for Toby?? :( That bothers me ALOT.
If you like old school gothic horror, then you may well enjoy letting Isaac and Grandpappy take you for a ride in their beat-up ol truck. :O. Not gonna win any Oscars but it's creepy and unnerving and half way decent acting. I found the Mom's acting to be the worst of all but still worth a watch, if you can get past her robotic emotions.

Am I the only one bothered by the fact that in the research of doing a movie based in Louisiana no one realized that there aren't any countries in Louisiana.

I love a good/bad horror movie and this was that. I had some moments where I genuinely wondered WTF was going on, but all and all, I had fun watching it and I'd absolutely watch a sequel. Was it great? No. Were there some really odd moments? Absolutely. But it was absolutely worth the watch on whatever channel I randomly DVRed it from.

This movie wasn't even good bad. It was just bad. Terrible dialogue. At first I thought it was just the acting but I don't even think an Oscar calibre actor could have pulled this one off. Started off promising and then just went right off the rails. The only redeeming thing about this movie was Jacob Lofland. He did the best he could with this terrible script.

Jessica (Angela Sarafyan) confronts her husband John Chambers (Paul Schneider) with evidence of his affair. He promises to end the affair and the couple takes their daughter Anna (Lia McHugh) to a vacation in the bayou. They had rented a mansion. They get invited to dinner with Isaac (Jacob Lofland) and Grandpappy (Doug Van Liew).
I like this movie. I like the revelations. I like Jessica. John surprised me in a good way although Schneider does over-act after the revelations. It seems like he's trying to earn his villainy. Anna is a weak dope. I get that she's a sheltered teen character but she would be more intriguing if she's smarter than that. Isaac is the best. He never stops being creepy but one can see that some teen girls would fall for that. More can be done with the room. That may be an issue with the budget or imagination. If budget is the case, I would show as little of the room as possible. Don't show John inside the room. All in all, I like the twists and turns and the movie's general creepiness.

The whole time I was watching this movie I felt like I was watching a trainwreck. I couldn't look away. It just got worse and worse and worse until it finally ended. I'm not even sure what the point of the story was, but I'm pretty sure whoever wrote this really really really hates whoever cheated on them. Next time instead of making a movie, maybe seek some therapy instead of putting everyone else through this trash.

I love the way this movie accelerates everything with Issac and the horror that trembles along with him! A House on the Bayou has some reality drama acting that was definitely the downfall otherwise the movie is dope. For a huge horror fanatic this was just right if you don't take it to seriously.

Evil comes in all shapes and sizes in this compelling morality tale from the bayou.
A woman tries to save her marriage and family with a weekend trip after she finds out he's having an affair. She takes him to a remote estate in rural Louisiana so that they can all get closer. When he forgets to get a questionably available and politically incorrect form of meat for dinner, she finds hell on earth.
The story is a convoluted mix of supernatural, domestic pot boiler and mystery. It's scary and weird fun, with an odd combination of good and terrible acting.
I enjoyed the strangeness of it.

Well this came as a surprise, I don't know how it got into my watchlist but I gave it a chance today. I don't regret it. That was some cinematography and soundtrack. Loved the story too. I was interested all the way through.

All characters are annoying and not likable in any way. What makes horror good is when you develop a connection with a character and hope they survive. In this case, they could all get removed and I'd sleep perfectly well.
This thriller is totally different than any I have seen, so I disagree with anyone who says it's mundane. A large portion of viewers aren't happy unless there is constant action or zombies. The suspense was intense. It frightened me. The acting was great and the twists were too. I gave it an extra star because the low reviews were not fair. If you want action look up action thrillers. I recommend. A change of pace from the same old same old.

So, a decent twisting plot helps a somewhat standard movie. An extra star or two for the overall impact and philosophical aspects developed in the film as well as the restraint used by the filmmakers to keep graphic elements to a minimal. It still packs tension in the film but without the use of excessive force. Some elements are a bit contrived, ans that does lessen the impact of the film. But still a decent watch.

"You don't believe in the devil, but the devil believes in you"...this cliched af line was uttered in the trailer and should serve as an indication of the level of writing in the movie. I thought it would be bad in a fun kind of way...but it's just bad. Nonsense followed by eye rolling twists followed by terrible dialogue. I was hoping that the MST3K would show up any minute, that's how bad it was.

The plot is bad, and though billed as a horror/suspense movie, it's neither. The acting was sub par but not the worst, with one exception; the wife. I thought she was decent in Westworld, but here she is hollow, lacks sincerity and is simply not a believable character. Who would want to be with her? The dialogue as most people have mentioned is so bad that it's borderline comedy. There weren't even any decent shots of the bayou. Avoid it.
