Best selling authors Ted Dekker and Frank Peretti transform their supernatural novel into the thrilling film House. Positively received by critics, the film follows Jack and Stephanie Singleto...( read more  read more... )n, a self-absorbed couple who get sidetracked on their way to a counseling session. After blowing out their tires, they find their way to the Wayside Inn, a ramshackle B&B where they meet an equally self-obsessed couple, Randy and Leslie. The foursome quickly find themselves terrorized by a household of ghoulish servants and a masked lunatic, known as “The Tin Man,” who demands a dead body by sunrise. Their only way out, it seems, is to venture further in. But the deeper they go, the more horrifying the killer’s game and their night becomes. House is a tale of punishment and redemption that will keep you pinned to the edge of your seat.

    Well I did have high hopes for this one, the box at the video store sounded really good and and a friend said it was a good movie. It actually was pretty good for the first hour and then it turned south...really fast. This totally reminded me of "the haunting", that movie was als...( read more)o really good 'till the last 20 min. Ugh, what a waste of my time...

    The most derivative supernatural story I've seen in a long while complete with a backwoods house that feeds on your guilt, creepy employees, a "surprise" revelation as to the killer's identity, a helpful spirit in the form of a girl and a highly overused ending. Complete waste of...( read more) time.

    Average rating for a average horror, worth a watch I didnt find it the worst of the worst
  • November 9, 2008
    Swaps tension and suspense for special effects, transparent moralizing, and a twist that proves less than surprising.
  • April 14, 2009
    No rhyme, no reason. No scares, no gore. No mas. Boring, unintelligent, unexplained, confusing, allready been done before drivel that despite a somewhat promising idea, becomes just a hot mess.

    It has the flavors of both the traditional horror movies in the first part and the unexpected twists up to the end. Ranges from okay to good. :D

    movie was good but the book is way better! Read the book!!

    The film that falls exactly on the middle of beauty and ugliness. The film isn't a masterpiece, obviously. But the great twist on the ending gave it the little factor for it to have at least two and half stars, as I see it.

    At least it wasn't really gory...otherwise I wouldn't have even watched the whole thing.
    I had read some good viewer reviews, that made it sound like something worth the watch, but I thought it was poorly acted, the "spooky" house felt more dirty than creepy, and the "twist" ...( read more)they tried to pull off, to make it different than all the other stupid "stranded couple in woods get terrorized by freaky farm people", just came out stupid and senseless.
    Total waste of time.
