House of the Witch

Christ almighty this was terrible. Unoriginal plot, cringe-worthy acting (I can usually tolerate mediocre acting but this was real bad), typical idiot stereotypical teenagers making idiotic choices.

I watched it all the way through just to be thorough but god do I regret that.

Whoever voted this a 10/10 I want to know what you're smoking.

Horror buff here. In a relative sense, a score of 5.2 with over 1400 votes would suggest horror gold. This movie is not horror gold. It is not a diamond in the rough. It is terrible. Not scary - at all. Terrible acting. Terrible F/X. I am not sure how this title garnered a respectable score here. Don't waste your time with this movie unless you are a cognitively challenged 13 year old girl. Believe me, this is coming from someone who judges horror on a completely separate metric, and in general I'm usually much more forgiving, score wise (any intriguing horror movie that keeps my attention and spooks me out deserves at least a 6 or 7, baseline). This movie is barely a 3.

If you want under-recognized (but NOT underrated critically) horror gold watch the remake of "the crazies." What a flick!!

I mean like what?? At least find a house to film in where there aren't windows, that aren't boarded up, above the front doors! Lazy scouting...

I'm generally not very critical of these types of horror movies. I'll forgive overacting and predictable plot-lines so long as its entertaining, but I kept spacing out while watching this one. The basic premise of the movie is kinda cool imo but the writing just kinda sucked, the dialogue was cheesy, and that last scene seemed to drag on forever.

The movie in general was pretty creepy, the effects worked fairly well, and I definitely jumped a few times. But all of this is greatly eclipsed by the complete and utter idiocy of these people. They split up on multiple occasions and are then confused as to why they can't find people, spend the whole movie wandering around the house with no clue what to do, ask people to makes phone calls after the tenth declaration that's there's no service, and in general are just stupid. The script is terrible. The storyline has no point and no flow. Just a bad movie all around.
