Ghost House

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!

The film starts off moderately ok with a couple vacationing in Thailand who visit an ancient burial site where they are attacked by an evil spirit that follows them throughout the vacation. The film then spirals into a mess of cliches, bad acting, predictable jump scares, and a story that does not hold your attention. The story becomes dull and uninteresting within 15 minutes of the opening, an opening that crams too much information into it, making questions one would have about the story answered already, leaving the story nearly non-existent.

The jump scares are almost all the same. Girl is alone, ghost suddenly appears, girl freaks out. It may work the first few times, but you end up knowing what the scare is going to be before it happens. While the ghost from a distance could be considered by some as scary, up close it is not. The make-up job on the ghost is so poorly done, it renders the tensions useless and takes you out of the moment. The writing is also painfully dull, including characters with barely one dimension as well as conversations that leave you waiting for it to be over so the next scare will come.

In short, if you are a horror veteran, skip it. If not and you want some cheap scares, go for 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.

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 surprisingly a better watch than the reviews suggest. It had a good eerie feeling throughout with a decent premise. Although its not a completely fresh plot it is engaging and looked fresh.. Some jump scares are good and acting is pretty ok too. The climax could have been better but this is definitely better than the overall ratings suggest. An enjoyable scary ride....
