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!

A remake of Ghost from the Machine (2010) this mid range horror stars Thomas Mann in a science meets supernatural effort.

A Netflix original it's the very definition of average. Usual cliches, usual horror tropes, average cast, average performances, average effects and average degree of originality.

The whole thing is therefore just so, average! It's watchable stuff in fact the concept behind the movie is fairly interesting but the creators don't think outside the box and instead play it safe making a generic Hollywood style horror.

I'd never recommend this, not because it's bad but because it's just so unremarkable.

The Good:

Couple of good ideas

The Bad:

Everything is just so average

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

I didn't know that Emma Gonzalez was an actor!

Each year Thomas Mann looks goofier

'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.

Cute movie, not scary, and the twist(s?) is predictable but ultimately makes for an interesting commentary on grief making you see what you wanna see no matter what. More emotional coming of age than horror.

But the major flaw: That blonde, thin valley girl? She's supposedly not only a scientist, but SUPER into and dating a meh looking and meh personality nerd. Yeah, a supernatural event is more believable than that.

I really don't think this movie deserves some of the bad reviews. It's not a ground breaking horror film and it's not trying to terrify or gross you out with gore, it's just a simple ghost story but one worth watching.

Not as much as a slow burn as I was lead to believe, I think it builds suspense well. If you want something action packed and "scary" this isn't it but it is an enjoyable watch and I always think with effective ghost stories less is more.
