    Really Bad. Really Stupid. Really Asylum.

    8213: Gacy House (2010)

    1/2 (out of 4)

    Another "found footage" film from The Asylum has six paranormal researchers going into the home of John Wayne Gacy and never being seen again. The police find their video footage and us unlucky viewers must sit through it. Some would say that The Asylum should quit making movies all together but I won't go that far as I find some of their "mockbusters" to be entertaining. Their found footage films, on the other hand, are a complete disaster most of the time and these I do wish they'd quit making. 8213: GACY HOUSE isn't quite as awful as THE AMITYVILLE HAUNTING but that's certainly not an endorsement of this film. I think talented people can use this genre to really build up some atmosphere and deliver some scares but whenever you got some ultra cheap production like this that's main goal is to make money, the artistic level usually isn't on display and we end up with a horrid film. This movie really doesn't work on any level as it's quite annoying in regards to the story because we're usually just sitting here watching annoying people having annoying fights that get on our nerves. I must admit that I really didn't care about any of these people and I certainly wasn't worried about their fate. I always say you're in trouble when you're watching a horror movie and hoping our humans get killed sooner rather than later so you can stop the movie. Another problem is the technical stuff and the fact that it's just not very good. The various camera set-ups never really do much and in the end you're left with an ugly film with characters you don't care about. Even worse is that there's no any scares, no atmosphere and really no reason to watch the film. A couple of the performances are fine but this isn't enough to make you waste your time. I'd also add there's a séance in the film where the woman uses her neighbor's teenage son's t-shirt to try and lure Gacy to come out. This here was rather tasteless.

    The worst movie iv seen in years!!

    Please please for god sakes do not listen to ANYONE who said this movie was even descent! Whoever says that this piece of $!@# was anything but a terrible mistake needs to get slapped! The acting was something straight out of a low budget porno flick. Kids in a middle school play could do better than these people. The parts that are suppose to be "scary" we're predictable and dull. Not once did I jump thru out this whole film. There could have been so much potential For such a storyline as the gacy case, but this stupid film made it seem like a complete joke. Thank god I saw this movie for free, or I would have shot myself in the foot for spending even one dollar on it. If I was talking to someone that was looking for a good scary movie at the rental store, I would tell you to put this movie down...step away slowly....and forget you ever saw it existed!!! Consider yourselves warned of this stupidity!

    Terrible. Such a shame that this is classed as a film

    The acting is so so poor, it's totally laughable. I mean laughable. Local am dram is better. Or a child's nativity play.

    I fell asleep for 15 minutes and woke up and was still bored.

    I can't even give this a proper review as it was so terrible. Laughable, not scary, complete rip off of Paranormal activity, Blair witch etc...

    The opening set up is supposed to entice and creep out the viewer, but within ten minutes I was already knowing exactly what would happen and which character had the stereotypical traits.

    With one female getting injured, there is a very obvious and poor attempt to get some boobs in. Soft porn for no reason, a close up of a breast. Why? Are you kidding.

    Sex, in a house later on? Really? Are you sure when you are supposed to be holding an experiment to find ghosts? Sure, why not, the perfect time to have sex. IN A HOUSE WHERE THE BIGGEST SERIAL KILLER KILLED PEOPLE! HA. That's the other thing, this house was a new house on the grounds where gacy murdered people, so the original house has gone, yet throughout, the main guy kept saying it's in this basement they were found. Err, no, the house has gone.

    The said main guy also, as a ghost hunter, kept on getting freaked out and scared and saying what the f was that?! Oh my god! Dude, you are supposed to be leading this event.

    Total utter gash

    Meh, wasn't THAT bad

    Is the "haunted house/Paranormal Activity/Blair Witch" thing a bit over done these days? Yeah. But me being interested in serial killers, this one kinda had me throughout.

    First off, you got a guy that looks like McLovin in this, two fairly attractive blondes (one for the fans of busty girls and one for the more modest type) and the main actor looks like that guy from Kangaroo Jack. I loved the comparisons for everyone. It does do the kinda lame thing where nothing happens for a while and then the predicable shock happens, but what horror/thriller movie doesn't? On that note, I think this is more of a thriller than a true horror. If you have a scary ghost movie, of course there's going to be the creepy basement scenes-plenty to offer, and scenes where you say to the character "Dude...you really just went there alone? *Sigh* See you in the sequel." lol Okay, so the actors aren't the best, the camera work is a bit shoddy, but it's a fun movie to watch with a group of friends and a few beverages. Just have an open mind, expect nothing, lights off, and hit play.

    Well at least the last 15 minutes were good...

    ...Because everything else is a waste of time. Apparently this is a sequel to Paranormal Entity, which I also disliked, but you'd not really think so as it has little in common with that. Everything just looked very slipshod visually, the camera work lacked focus, the effects while not the worst for the Asylum are still poor and somewhat half-baked and sometimes the lighting is so dimly lit. The dialogue is trite and repetitive, adding little if anything to the atmosphere, while I didn't care at all for the characters, they were annoying and you don't learn enough about them. The story did not engage in any way, the first half of Gacy House is so low-key and dull that you don't feel any tension or horror and you even question whether there is a story. The acting is stiff and phoned in in most cases. In fact, the one bright spot of Gacy House is the last fifteen minutes, while highly implausible it does have one or two good scares. All in all, a terrible movie on all levels apart from the end. 2/10 Bethany Cox
