Featured reviews
Ghost House is worth a watch, it's a decent horror, with a few good moments, some decent scares, and it's well acted.
My criticisms would come from the fact that it contains virtually every single horror cliche in existence. We have the wise woman, the long haired female ghost, an English villain, arched backs, a ceremony, literally everything you would expect to see in a horror film is on show here.
Despite all that though, it is still a good watch, the beginning is very atmospheric, and the way in which the young couple are manipated into trouble is very well done.
It's unsurprising, but decent. 6/10

This is among the better lower budget supernatural movies out there, many are not so great - I've watched nearly all of them out there. The story is good! An American couple visiting Thailand get unwanted attention from a vengeful spirit. Plenty of good "Gotcha" moments if you like to jump! The script could be a little better but it's not bad, actors did their best with what they had. This movie is definitely worth a watch if you like scary ghost stories! Don't believe the snobs who wrote some bad reviews, for lower budget scary movies, this one is a lot of fun - great ending. There's a few sexually explicit scenes in case you have younger kids. Check this movie out!
Not sure why there are so many negative responses published here to this absolutely competent nod to the Asian "ghost" genre.
Yes, the story is cliched: An American disturbs some kind of relic and as a result is haunted by a vengeful spirit.
What raises "Ghost House" up, however, are some beautiful locations, some obvious guerrilla-style filmmaking, interesting and creative direction and a funky visual style.
Also, while the lead actors are often charmless and whiny, the supporting cast is a hoot, from an old hippie shaman to a Thai witch doctor whose facial expressions are extraordinary. It's obvious they hired a number of Thai locals in these supporting parts, and that lends needed authenticity to the film.
Most of the scares are "jumps," but effective, and there are a couple of real harrowing and haunting scenes.
At the end of the day, "Ghost House" transcends it's weaknesses to become, as a whole, a decent, interesting effort that's worth your time.

Meh another possession "hand me down" type of movie, or sacrifice to get rid of it. 1 or so parts were predictable, but honestly its just a movie to watch nothing really unexpected. This could have been a lot better, but it is what it is cause movie makers now a days that make "scary" movies SUCK AT IT!
This really wasn't bad. I've seen way worse when picking random Netflix horror movies.
The boyfriend was annoying, but the rest of the acting wasn't bad. There were a few good jump scares.
Nothing new here as far as the "Ghost attaches itself to person and friends must find out how to banish it" story. Instead of a video tape here, we have "Ghost Houses".
I was entertained on a night where I couldn't find anything else to watch.
