Are just some of the words I can say about this movie! others would be! Bone chilling, nerve shattering, terror trip into insanity, and make you disbelieve that you just seen what you have seen. This movie really did leave me feeling totally disturbed to my wick. Yes I know I gave it a 10* this is how I reached the rating, 64 % Direction, 10% sound track, 23% production & cinematography & 3% acting. so overall is a 10*.
weather or not I would watch again? I think not! if disturbing movies that push all boundary's leaving you wanting to stay awake is your bag? then OK give the movie a go! If not avoid personally the movie should never have been made. But overall other than that I cant find fault in any level

I was expecting a low-budget horror flick, sometimes smaller films can be interesting discoveries, if only "so bad they are good," but this movie is just mediocre. Poorly shot with pitiful effects and an atrocious score, the movie lacks inspiration, either of the scary or humorous kind. Possibly the tone is intentionally subdued to match a "true crime" report, but a reenactment should be more fun! The framing story of the survivor is tedious, and victims pass in and out of the story too quickly to engage the viewer's interest. The most interesting parts are the clips of the real Leonard Lake explaining himself, but they last only a couple of minutes. That said, it could be worse, and some scenes are almost good; other than the soundtrack it's not too obnoxious if you are compelled to complete your snuff collection.
Don't bother watching this movie . there way better movies
You would think this movie is about a haunted house right ?
Wrong its about a serial killer and not about a house like the title of the movie would suggest
What was their budget for this, $25? Had they just made a documentary, it may have been more successful. The acting is positively horrendous and the music is annoying.
Literally the worst movie i have ever seen , if a kid at school gave this in as a project in a drama class they would get an 'f'
leonard lake and charles ng left behind them a story that would have made the movie of all movies as far as serial killers go, then this pack of jokers create this total dross.
actors (if you could call them that) are so bad its actually funny, the filming looks like its been shot on a cheap cell phone.
please do not take my word for this, watch a trailer and see for yourself.
