In my own opinion, this movie was not even good of a horror film. If it was up to me I would have given this movie one star, but I'll be lying if I said "I did not enjoyed all scenes" there were some that caught my attention.
This movie had some comedic scenes that I enjoyed and got aroused at one particular scene. I enjoyed those those two parts theme of the movie.
However, the horror, it was not even good. It's like the writer of this movie does not know anything about ghost/demonic lores and just wrote based on how they saw stuff through.
I recommend, do not watch this movie, is just waste of time.
I thought the first half of The Haunted House On Kirby Road was all right, with a couple good laughs and not much (or any) horror at that point. The acting wasn't bad either, not spectacular but not annoying either. And then came the second part. The part that is supposed to be the horror side of the movie. Now, that was pretty lame, if not awful at some point. The acting changed completely from being okay to bad. The horror scenes, if you can call them like that, are very badly done, quite the opposite of the first half of the movie where I thought the cinematography was more than decent. And even if you would like to pass the horror scenes as humor it didn't work at all, it was just bad. The movie ratings dropped at that point. Before the 'horror' I would have rate it a six but now a three is more than fair enough.
... really bad, has an opening horror piece then almost an hour of American Pie humour, then some really badly done horror for the last 20 mins. Budget is quite low, and the acting generally ok, the horror stuff is laughable .... waste of time and money , if i could give it a minus score i would.
This movie has, hands down, the most annoying, obnoxious, insufferable cast of 'teenagers' I have ever seen. I don't understand why any of them are friends. I don't understand why any of them HAVE any friends. Even the Final Girl is fairly unlikeable. And don't even get me started on 'Truggers' (The worst nickname in the world, by the way.)- I figure they're all just using him for his stepdad's shed.
I see reviews praising the film's beginning, but I don't get that at all. It's just a bunch of on-the-nose dialogue setting up who's who and what's what and jerks being mean to each other. And don't even get me started on the extended sequence of us watching our 'heroes' watch videos on the internet.
Even as boneheaded as the screenplay was I still chuckled a few times at some of the lines, so at least the actors were putting all they could into their awful characters. But I was more often laughing at things that the filmmakers probably not intend for me to laugh at.
In short, this movie sucks on wheels. Avoid at all costs.

This movie holds it together just enough to eke out a second star and nothing more. Not scary, not funny, not much of anything. Plus the final girl is such a stick in the mud that you end up rooting for the ghost.
