House on Elm Lake

That... good lord...that was without a doubt the absolute worst "movie," on every single level, that I have ever had the misfortune of watching. My time would have been better spent bobbing for self respect out of a rusted out, industrial strength, powered on blender. The "acting" was horrible at best. The sfx were nothing more than Halloween store props. The director needs to go back to selling sand to the Middle East from Mother'sbasement. The costume designer, well, the costumes were probably provided from the local C- rated haunted attraction. Ok, the writer... good lord, you need serious mental help, Jesus, God, and Allah, and a healthy supply of 8000mg sedatives, for life. At some point, there was a meeting where everyone agreed that this was a good film. Someone, EVERYONE, should have said, hey, this sucks, lets not do this. Anyone involved in this flick needs to be on an FBI watch list. In short....if you have the option of watching this movie or driving your car off a bridge... well, grab your keys, sugarbritches.

This movie is absolutely terrible. Do not waste your time watching it. The acting is atrocious and the story line has been done a thousand times over. It is basically a poor man's amityville horror. I would write a longer review, but this movie is not even worth a second more of my time; that is how bad it is.

The story starts of okay, if not predictable. Following the theme of doomed homes'past murders here, DO NOT MOVE INTO THIS HOUSE'. Unfortunately after 10 minutes of the movie, the house has new tenants. The actors/actresses from the start are of a very poor standard. It does not improve. They seem like they are part of a haunted house reality program on daytime television and should really rethink their careers. There are some moments that make you jump, but only because the music gets louder. Without using spoilers, this film progresses into nothing after an Amityville style beginning. If you watch the first 10 minutes and have a feeling of DeJa Vu. Then no need to continue with the movie as you have already seen the plot, film beginning and end. But, most probably with better actors in scores of other movies.

Weak cookie-cutter horror movie that's been done many times before. Previous owner did bad things, new owners experience violent "echoes" of the prior events. The "horror" consists mostly of some gore and jump scares, but to me the worst part of the movie was that the director seems to think that prolonged loud, jarring noises (screams, music- like cacophony, screams, and screams) make for a scary movie.

They don't, and this isn't scary - it's aggravating and annoying. I actually fast-forwarded through many of them.

Otherwise, the movie is just a retread.

Freddy Krueger? Maybe. Jason? Sounds pretty cool. House at the end of the Street? THAT'S IT! All three!
