The Haunting of the Murder House

Let me tell you 1st that I have never written a review before but I felt I had to this time because there was no way that this movie got such high reviews. I knew I should have watched the trailer 1st before believing any of these reviews. They must be from friends or family members. The acting is so bad and the whole movie is just plain stupid.

Even for a Kickstarter film, this is so extremely lame. No suspense, no horror. I would rate it a zero if I could. Character development had zero effort, the dialog was so bad. The synopsis on the film doesn't even fit the film. No footage was even found - per the synopsis. At no point do you feel that any of the characters are scared. I love B-rate horror films and yes, even Kickstarter films. I expect the graphic scenes to be lame. But the script was so sub-par, acting was even worse and the dark scenes are way too bright. The unknown is what scares us. This was so bad. Sad, because the story is the typical one of "ghost hunters" but it was written so poorly. Save your $$. Don't rent this based on the reviews.

This should be illegal. An 8.0 imdb for horror is top notch. This is not it. I just paid 5$ for a movie I would never watch bc if it was reviewed genuinely it would be maybe a 3!!!

If I'm unsure of if I should watch a horror movie, I pull it up on IMDB. It's usually a pretty safe bet if it's rated above a 6, and since this was a whopping 7.7 when I pulled it up, I thought, "wow, this is totally gonna be worth the $5 to rent it!!" I was robbed lol. In going back and reading the reviews in more depth, this movie is just the best of DBS's many movies. If you don't know who or what that is, the acting is TERRIBLE, the script hasn't been proofread, and even I could tell the cinematography was awful. It was like watching a film school project, and looking at it that way, they did a good job on this movie- the blood effects were decent and I'd give them a passing grade for the class. But having to pay for it on Amazon... don't waste your money!!

Unless you know DBS, then go for it, you'll apparently love it lol.

I should've known with the low amount of reviews and the standard big budget rating being around 5-6. It has some legitimately suspenseful moments but once any action actually starts the low quality really shows.

Like maybe that's not fair because they're competing with the industry and trying to make it, but the reviews are obviously paid for and that just sucks.
