A House on the Bayou

Interesting little horror thriller, about the BAD things people do to each other. I found Isaac very unnerving and a bit charming at the same time. This feels like an old school style horror movie, like Burnt Offerings or The Other (both 70's gothic horror) I found it overall kinda satisfying except for Toby?? :( That bothers me ALOT.

If you like old school gothic horror, then you may well enjoy letting Isaac and Grandpappy take you for a ride in their beat-up ol truck. :O. Not gonna win any Oscars but it's creepy and unnerving and half way decent acting. I found the Mom's acting to be the worst of all but still worth a watch, if you can get past her robotic emotions.

Not necessarily in a bad way, a very odd movie, but kept my attention easily to the end. I liked it. This is probably the shortest review I have ever left... I found it worth a watch.

I love the way this movie accelerates everything with Issac and the horror that trembles along with him! A House on the Bayou has some reality drama acting that was definitely the downfall otherwise the movie is dope. For a huge horror fanatic this was just right if you don't take it to seriously.

Jessica (Angela Sarafyan) confronts her husband John Chambers (Paul Schneider) with evidence of his affair. He promises to end the affair and the couple takes their daughter Anna (Lia McHugh) to a vacation in the bayou. They had rented a mansion. They get invited to dinner with Isaac (Jacob Lofland) and Grandpappy (Doug Van Liew).

I like this movie. I like the revelations. I like Jessica. John surprised me in a good way although Schneider does over-act after the revelations. It seems like he's trying to earn his villainy. Anna is a weak dope. I get that she's a sheltered teen character but she would be more intriguing if she's smarter than that. Isaac is the best. He never stops being creepy but one can see that some teen girls would fall for that. More can be done with the room. That may be an issue with the budget or imagination. If budget is the case, I would show as little of the room as possible. Don't show John inside the room. All in all, I like the twists and turns and the movie's general creepiness.

Evil comes in all shapes and sizes in this compelling morality tale from the bayou.

A woman tries to save her marriage and family with a weekend trip after she finds out he's having an affair. She takes him to a remote estate in rural Louisiana so that they can all get closer. When he forgets to get a questionably available and politically incorrect form of meat for dinner, she finds hell on earth.

The story is a convoluted mix of supernatural, domestic pot boiler and mystery. It's scary and weird fun, with an odd combination of good and terrible acting.

I enjoyed the strangeness of it.
