The House on Laura Anne Dr.

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.

I should've read the reviews first. I also should've changed the channel. I'm mad at myself for watching this. The acting is horrid. I mean, really really really bad! Everything moves in slow motion. It is NOT even loosely based on a true story. That was a marketing ploy. The couple go from happy to fighting over night after moving into a new house. The kitchen is completely bare except a ninja where the wife is seen making a smoothie. Not sure when she had time to go to the grocery store. Maybe in her sleep? The wife suffers from depression and the husband is a total jerk about it. He's a jerk period. He even blames a previous miscarriage on her depression. As a former social worker who also suffers from depression, the way this played out was completely disgusting and irresponsible. Not sure how this movie even got made. It's really THAT bad!!

The acting, bad. The actresses make up, terrible. She looks old. And come on, squatters in an attic in Florida 🤣. Not to mention. Hardly any story line. The best part was the maggot in her mouth. There's a slight attempt at creepiness with shadows running quickly across the screen. So very creepy 🙄🙄. Don't waste your time on this one.

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!

Was Natalie Brienen's legs. As for everything else, it fell for me into that category of movie that could have been watched with or without volume and would have had the same impact either way. I have to admit I was resentful over how easy those two moved into a new home; every time I have moved it has been a nightmare.
