Notre maison

I love it when you take a punt on a film and it turns out to be as good as this! It's as cheap as chips but a great ghost story with fantastic acting from the main characters especially little Kate Moyer who is very convincing for such a young actress! It's as much about family loss as it is about Science fiction. Its incredibly well filmed with a great soundtrack! Give it a watch!

This is not an exciting terrifying horror movie was lots of Gore and tricky things. No huge Stars. But what it is is a very atmospheric movie that is actually quite realistic. The thing that elevates it I believe is the cast. Not only is it well acted even the spikier brother is lovable. There is something about these kids and others in the movie that makes you truly feel their losses and makes you get behind them completely. I felt very invested in their story. I loved the kids were the intelligent Heroes of the story and work together. I personally thought this is a really good movie. I will be looking forward to seeing each one of these actors in their other projects.

I'm not someone that likes to classify films under a particular category, but if I was pushed, I'd say this comes under melodrama, the horror element is very minor, only at the end do you get tinges of horror. It's kind of a family tragedy, mixed in with elements of Stranger things. In spite of that I really rather liked it, it has a bit of originality, it has plenty of expectation, albeit those expectations aren't fully realised, but has some very well rounded characters. The horror elements when they come are fairly minor, but the gas visual works well. For me this is a film that deals with grief more then anything.

Don't expect to be scared, but I'm sure you'll enjoy it. 6/10

'Our House' is not the worst movie I've seen but it certainly isn't the most exciting. The first half feels like nothing more than a sad family story. The second half throws in a few scares, but really not much else. Pretty much all of the horror aspects of the film could be condensed into a two minute short. Kinda slow, nothing revolutionary, and very average. It's not that's it's bad, it's just not good either.

I actually enjoyed Our House. I wasn't expecting to, but the reviews don't really do it justice. It's slow to start and no jump scares, if you're looking for a great film for a teens sleepover, or something spooky to watch with 'children' this is a lovely little creepy film that won't be giving anyone nightmares.

The action is fairly slow paced but the characters are likeable and well rounded on the whole. Just enjoy it for what it is, a spooky movie with no sex, not much in the way of violence, no swearing. As horrors go, it's pretty wholesome.
