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.

    Saw this one after my mom recommended it and have to say I rather enjoyed it. It's better than Haunting in Connecticut but not as good as Last House on the Left, in my opinion.

  • A.D. V


    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.… More

    A pretty good horror flick with an interesting twist.

  • Steven V


    On the basis of <b>House</b>, an adaptation of the novel by <i>Ted Dekker</i> and <i>Frank Peretti</i>, it happens when the story unexpectedly shifts gears from one style to another. The first half of this movie is enjoyable, not because it was… More
