If anything can really mess with your head it’s family. In horror movies this is a trope used a lot, the return to the family home to find the truth from the past, which is always a good place to start for a film. An example of a film that uses this is The Invoking.

When Samantha (Trin Miller) and a few of her friends travel to her home town Sader Ridge to inspect a property she’s inherited it’s not long before she starts to experience violent visions within the house. Trying to discover the truth about her past the answers may come from Eric (D’Angelo Midlili) the creepy caretaker, though he may be part of...

Here in the States The Invoking has been available since mid-February, and on May 12th those of you in the UK will have a chance to add it your DVD collections courtesy of Image Entertainment UK.

The film is directed by Jeremy Berg and stars Trin Miller, Brandon Anthony, Josh Truax, and D'Angelo Midili.

Synopsis

In your childhood home some things can be buried – but the truth will come back and kill.

Raised by foster parents, Sam (Miller) claims to remember nothing of her childhood… but it remembers her. When she discovers she has inherited a property, she invites three friends to join her on a trip that will change their lives forever.

A young reclusive caretaker, a childhood friend of Sam’s, is there to greet them; but something else is waiting for her in the house, something dark and deadly. The ghosts of a past she has long...

There are so many sub-genres in horror. The vampire movie, zombie apocalypses, torture porn. But there's nothing more classic and purely fright-inducing than the things that go bump in the night. To celebrate this week's release of The Invoking, we bring you our Top 13 Favorite Haunted House Movies.

Is anything creepier than when your own house turns against you? You can (theoretically) get away from zombies, vamps, slashers and werewolves. But when your own home sweet home is the enemy… it's tough to recover from that.

We have some great Honorable Mentions to start off with. Fantastic director James Wan really seems to have a knack for the haunted house movie as he has one entry on the list itself and also gets a nod for Insidious, a creative look at the inner, an outer, workings of a haunted house. A Haunting in Connecticut was impressive as, in addition to the actual haunting going on,...
