The Charnel House

This is a bad movie. Don't waste your time. Derivative, predictable, no suspense. Badly written, badly directed, badly acted. Unoriginal tosh. There is nothing to recommend this drivel. Any good reviews are fake.

The acting is great for this kind of movie. It's well done and watchable. It could have made an interesting short series or anthology show.

However the main problem here is that it's just not scary. Really like not at all.

This story has been told many times, and a lot better to be frank. The new take on it by adding technology was not really a plus for me. Unfortunately everything about this movie was mediocre. I will probably have forgotten this next week. It also lacked a few real scares, wich is the reason to watch horror right? So I don't think you'll be missing out if you skip this one.

OK so this is my first movie review. I felt obligated to write it, and this is why....

This movie deserves MAYBE a 3 out of 10. After checking, all of the users who gave this movie rave reviews have only written one review ever, which was for this movie alone. Basically people that are probably associated with the creation of the movie that want to make it sound amazing, when it really just isn't.

To be honest, this movie just had no substance. No suspense, no actual scary moments (I say this because horror is listed as the genre), no decent or interesting characters that you end up caring about at any point. Don't get fooled by the fake reviews, I would highly suggest not bothering with this one.

The premise is pretty generic and the film clearly has very little budget. The special effects are pretty lame and overall its not got anything very interesting to bring to the screen. In addition most of the acting isnt very good, with the notable exception of the little girl who was actually okay.

Having said all of that, I have seen an awful lot worse and it didnt completely bore me which plenty of other movies have done. So below average but not the worst movie ever.
