Haunted House on Sorority Row

I totally loved it. Henrique Couto hit this one out of the park. If you do not like independent films you have not seen this one. The only way I can imagine it better would to have seen it at the big screen. The acting was top notch. The actresses not only beautiful but extremely talented. I strongly require mend going out and picking up a copy.This Dayton based cast and crew can hold their own against Hollywood Blockbuster. I can only imagine what Couto could do with the massive major motion pitcher budget. I expect to see great things from Couto in the future. And the same from this awesome cast. Without giving any spoilers all I can say is this is a must see movie.

Another film director but lower budget independent filmmaker Henrique Couto. It's another horror low budget which we would know about what to expect. Although expected a little better than what was presented. The plot is nothing special and nothing in which we haven't seen before. A group of sorority girls end up moving into an unexpected hated house which ends up causing them seeing spirited and ghosts of such.

There are more attempts at jump scares and horror scenes with the hallucinations of these demonic nude women that would occasionally appear but besides that, everything is essentially bland.

The acting is worse than seen in Babysitter Massacre, most noticeable by the character of Jim.

The ending is very anticlimax and rather dull where it ends up being disappointing and feels like it never went anywhere.

This has got to be the worst written, worst acted movie I have ever seen. I've seen better acting at an 8th grade Christmas play. If you like to look at ugly girl's breast, then that's about all it offers. But, trust me, they aren't that nice to look at.

The writing is bad enough - there is no great plot here. The dialog is not very true. But the worst part of this film has to be the acting. They should have gone to acting school. They cannot deliver a line without it looking like it was being fed to them in their ear. It's just a stupid attempt to get people to watch it because there are naked female bodies in it.

There are much, much better options out there. If I could give it less than 1 star, I would. Life is too short to waste watching this film.

In an average year easily I see over 100 films and some films will be incredible and others; others not so much. After venturing out this past weekend to watch the latest creation by director Henrique Couto I felt the need to write a review of the film. First off I need to mention that the entire budget for this film was less than what is thrown away at the end of lunch for the average craft services table. The previous statement will be explained shortly. Is this a handicap for mister Couto? Absolutely not. This is not the first film I have seen by Henrique, but it far and away the best. I could continue to write adding platitudes in an attempt to convince you the reader that this film deserves your attention, but that may or may not convince you so I will just say this. The feeling he creates in this film is more unsettling at times than many of the big budget film to come out of the Hollywood movie factories. The micro-budget forces him to look for ways to "get you" that does not rely on the special FX. He uses common household items and awkward timing to create his very successful scares.

One change to Henrique's formula is enlisting an outside source to write the screenplay. Screenwriter John Oak Dalton created a twisted plot that was very enjoyable ride. After watching the film I am left to wonder if he had some childhood trauma he is not telling us about. I now feel the need to back and find other films he had his hand in to see if I can find an answer to this question. Erin R. Ryan is as always wonderful in the very creepy take on Sherrie and Haley Madison as Melissa was a better roll for her than when last I saw her and she ran with it. In the acting department there were in fact no weak points, but there was a certain "Gentleman" that stole the show. Those who saw the film know who I am talking about. Mr. Widing takes a bow. So as not to give away any plot points (I hate it when people do that) I will say that Eric was far and away the best part in a great film. I hate having to wait to see this film again till sometime later this year with its DVD release, but wait I will. This film just flat out fun to watch.

Oh heck yes I can tell this one is gonna be great just by the title. So it starts out with a couple cruising in a car and dude finds what appears to be an empty house where he can 'bang a chick in a haunted house'. Should be awesome! Aww cool and the girl's outfit is bangin itself. A little bit of Twisted Kilt action. Thong! Alright, things are lookin up. Oh no a skeletal body! Oh that's just the opening moments of this obvious classic.

Well at least they showed some BIG T'S IN THE shower scene. That's a plus! I just hate shower scenes with no skin shots. +1 Star!

Then the movie just starts into a slew of badly acted scenes. -1 Star.

Oh yeah then they go over the great concept of the 'Hoochi Olympics'. That's a great idea!

The rest of the movie is full of cheesey dialogue and quips. Some are funny, most are not. The movie is pretty anti-climactic. The 2nd half is actually not very good at all. -2 stars

3/10.
