Right. Where to begin? Let's start with the title. Although it's not possible to prove the house wasn't haunted, there is no evidence to suggest that it might be, either in the script or actually on screen. But that's not the only thing that makes no sense. Not by a long chalk. Sure there are continuity errors, such as the outside shots filmed in daylight supposed to take place during the pitch dark night, but the worst incongruities are in the plotting. Nothing anybody does or says makes any sense whatsoever. From discussing complicity in a covered up murder while standing outside a police station, to the clichéd girl who "just can't stand to be in this old house" with all her friends, who therefore elects instead to walk alone across a dark forest and hitchhike from the road while dressed as a sci-fi hooker. All that said, if you're the sort of person who reacts to the sight of a policeman saying "I know we're supposed to be ogres, but I assure you we're not biting today" by thinking "WTF? Since when are ogres famed for biting?" you might just enjoy it on as many levels as I did.
This was a good idea when Woody Allen had it, and made the very funny "What's Up Tiger Lilly?" by wiping the sound from and re-dubbing an old Chinese thriller. Unfortunately while Woody Allen is a comedic genius, this guy is not in the least bit funny. He couldn't even convince one other person to involve themselves as far as providing another voice. It's one thing some moron doing "humorous" voice overs during the movie for their own entertainment, but recording themselves for posterity is just suffering from delusions of adequacy. So how is it that this guy's turgid drivel has been distributed? Was it a mistake? Does this guy own Warner Brothers? Does his dad? Who knows? Who cares? Just don't ever see it. It's not just a waste of money either, don't even bother to download it from a file-share site. the five minutes you subject yourself to will be five minutes you won't get back.
