After a car accident incapacitates their vehicle, the duo ends up at the title dwelling, where they meet another couple as well as the off-putting people who own the establishment. Soon, the two couples realize they must rely on each other in order to survive. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
The backstories keep piling up, with nods to The Shining, The Ring, and a dozen other gothic supernatural chillers, yet the result doesn't remotely scare you -- rather, it keeps explaining why you should be scared. That's why we're not.
-
Kevin Carr, 7M Pictures
Overall, the pacing and characters are where House suffers. The film works as a direct-to-DVD horror movie, but it definitely has its rocky moments.
-
James Rocchi, Common Sense Media
Christian-themed horror film too intense for kids.
-
Bill Gibron, PopMatters
Like most movies where belief makes up a good percentage of the narrative rationale and resolution, House has a very hard time with its dogma.
-
Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle
The cluttered, unconvincing dialogue -- not to mention Moseley's ongoing penchant for crazed overacting -- make it more of a genre curiousity than anything the Fangoria gang would likely want to sit through.
