An English Haunting

I saw this movie and I actually like the film. The color grading picture is perfect. The script is interesting. Acting is good, not bad. The only thing that I dont like about the film is the sound effects. The sound effects sound bad and cheap which kinda ruins the film a little bit. Overall this is actually pretty watchable.

First of all I'd like to say that I am not at all a horror movie fan. 99% of them are tedious, trope-ridden, vulgar garbage with zero creativitiy and imagination. Another commonality is that they start out somewhat okay but then totally go off the rails in the second half. Anyway, I was intrigued by the trailer of An English Hauting, the setting mostly. But since trailers have a habit of misleading you to think the movie is awesome, when in fact it's the opposite, I didn't expect much. Perhaps that is why I wasn't completely disappointed. By horror film standards I didn't find it that bad. It's a bit more subtle and refined than the typical in-your-face trash from Hollywood. Nothing you haven't seen before though. It did seem like a bit of a knock-off of "The Living and the Dead (2006)" in some aspects. Which I would recommend you rather watch instead. That was actually some decent horror.

I truly don't get the 1 star reviews of this movie. The acting wasn't great but it wasn't that bad. I especially love the one guys review who says he turned off the movie due to some mistake with a cigarette. Delusional.

That being said this movie is pretty cliched. You'll see the ending from a mile away once you figure out what is going on. Regardless, the cinematography was nice, acting was passable. Worth a watch if you are really into horror.

Surprisingly good. You can't beat a British ghost story. No information on where the house actually is so did some research of my own. I noticed that the Associate Producers of the film are Sir John and Lady Shuckburgh. A search reveals that it was filmed at the Shuckburgh Country House near Little Shuckburgh in Warwickshire. I hope that this is of interest to you all!

A woman who appears to have just walked out of the 1990s has an adult son who is ostensibly normal who dresses like it's 1936, and the grandpa dying of dementia looks like he was in a 1980s hair metal band. The background music is repetitive and reminds me of a video game. I had to Google to find out this was supposed to be the 1960s. Could have fooled me.

This movie is not the worst haunted house film I've ever watched, but it's not really good. It's very uneven drifting between parts that are mysterious or disturbing to things that seem utterly implausible i.e. The nurse wandering on the moors for like a month? HOW? WHY?

I'm only left to conclude that this was a terrible inaccurate work of fan fiction.
