The Haunting of the Murder House

I went into this movie with an open mind. The title seemed awfully cliche, but the ratings were remarkably high, so we assumed (wrongfully) that it must be some sort of self-aware, satirical take on the genre. Plus we're active enjoyers of love low-budget, indie horror. Nope. This is Just Bad. It can't even be redeemed as good-bad or campy, there's just not enough personality in the production to even *try* to find humor in it. Everything is just bland and predictable, if not annoying and redundant. Takes itself wayyy too seriously for how pointless of a story it is. I wouldn't have even taken the time to review this movie if it weren't for the ridiculous amount of 10/10 reviews it has, even the 8/10 reviews, anything positive here has to have either been bought and paid for by the producers or coerced out of friends and family. Don't fall for the scam like we did. 🙃

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!!!

I'm not sure how all these people gave this movie a 10. Literally! Right off the bat sounds so scripted! It's like the actors are just reading lines. Do not watch this movie. Everyone that gave it a 9/10 or a 10/10 clearly are friends of the actors. Just the worst acting. I can't believe I paid $5 to watch 20 minutes of this horrible movie. I hope my review is at the top so I can save people money and time.

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.
