House of Good and Evil

This film is a complete failure in every respect, if you waste your time watching it you will wish you hadn't.

I am a big horror fan so I was disappointed to find out there is absolutely no scares in this film whatsoever. The script is appalling, the storyline is a joke, the soundtrack is hopeless, the 'special effects' are joke shop quality and I honestly can't think of any redeeming features this film has.

There are several parts where the music builds up and up as if something scary is coming....but nothing happens!

I made the mistake of watching this film because some of the other reviewers seem to think it is worth watching and I feel conned-I honestly do. This is not the sort of film that could divide opinion in any way, it is just really, really bad and I cannot understand how anyone would honestly say otherwise.

You have been warned.

This is one of those films that makes you say "what?" to the television a lot, partly because it doesn't make a whole lot of sense at times and partly because the sound levels are sometimes inconsistent. You might have to keep fiddling with the volume to follow some of the mumble shots without getting overwhelmed by the background music used to let you know that something suspenseful must have happened. I was often left guessing about that. There's one particular scene in which the trees apparently make rumbling noises of some sort, and the music lets you know that that's very, very scary, whatever it is.

My fiancée fell asleep about 10 minutes into it, which tells you something about the degree to which it merits being included in the "thriller" category. I can sit through almost anything, but I did look it up on IMDb for a bit since there wasn't much going on on the screen. This one would be a hard one to get through in a theater.

It picks up a little bit in the middle, but I can't say there's much reason to stick it out. I suspect that whatever festival buzz it got is because it's sort of about wife abuse, though it's not totally clear what it's trying to say about it, other than that it's bad. Some of the acting is OK.

Those that gave this film a rating of anything above 3 stars (hell that's even too much) should be ashamed. We begin this film with a big question mark as to what the hell is going on, and when we reach the end that question mark is bigger and burning from the anger that you feel from having wasted your time viewing it. It isn't scary. It holds no psychological value. And the only thrill in it would come from the discussion you'll have with whomever you watch it with over how bad it really is. Want to have something to rant about? This is one of those films. Otherwise, and for the benefit of your own sanity, I'd advise those to steer clear!

I decided to see this movies because I saw the its rating is 6.7. It turned out to be the worst movie I have ever seen.

Wow! I've seen bad movies..this takes the cake. Snore fest galore Looks like a High Schooler directed this trash I am already trying to erase what I just watched Flashbacks, nonsense, waste of time.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS
