Our House

I'm not someone that likes to classify films under a particular category, but if I was pushed, I'd say this comes under melodrama, the horror element is very minor, only at the end do you get tinges of horror. It's kind of a family tragedy, mixed in with elements of Stranger things. In spite of that I really rather liked it, it has a bit of originality, it has plenty of expectation, albeit those expectations aren't fully realised, but has some very well rounded characters. The horror elements when they come are fairly minor, but the gas visual works well. For me this is a film that deals with grief more then anything.

Don't expect to be scared, but I'm sure you'll enjoy it. 6/10

Cute movie, not scary, and the twist(s?) is predictable but ultimately makes for an interesting commentary on grief making you see what you wanna see no matter what. More emotional coming of age than horror.

But the major flaw: That blonde, thin valley girl? She's supposedly not only a scientist, but SUPER into and dating a meh looking and meh personality nerd. Yeah, a supernatural event is more believable than that.

I love it when you take a punt on a film and it turns out to be as good as this! It's as cheap as chips but a great ghost story with fantastic acting from the main characters especially little Kate Moyer who is very convincing for such a young actress! It's as much about family loss as it is about Science fiction. Its incredibly well filmed with a great soundtrack! Give it a watch!

'Our House' is not the worst movie I've seen but it certainly isn't the most exciting. The first half feels like nothing more than a sad family story. The second half throws in a few scares, but really not much else. Pretty much all of the horror aspects of the film could be condensed into a two minute short. Kinda slow, nothing revolutionary, and very average. It's not that's it's bad, it's just not good either.

I really don't think this movie deserves some of the bad reviews. It's not a ground breaking horror film and it's not trying to terrify or gross you out with gore, it's just a simple ghost story but one worth watching.

Not as much as a slow burn as I was lead to believe, I think it builds suspense well. If you want something action packed and "scary" this isn't it but it is an enjoyable watch and I always think with effective ghost stories less is more.
