Haunted House Joyride
I watch horror films regularly, act in them locally (I'm everyone's
favorite zombie to deal with on set--a "zombie leader", which is just funny), grew up in Pittsburgh (littered with both haunted houses and Romero), and both I and my hubby (same background, and also a "professional zombie") loved this film. I should also mention I'm an art director. I used to get teased by my editor, "That's a film only an art director would love", which is often true. But if you get a single actual scream out of me (which this film did for what I call "breaking expectation of space"... no movie does this more than the original The Eye, Hong Kong, 10/10), you win in my book. Characters are "archetypes" but not in a annoying way. The whole story is, but it's a lot of fun. I knocked it to a 9 for the already-mentioned alcoholic-outta-nowhere bit. What was up with that?! Had nothing to do with anything at all; it doesn't further the story. I'm not going to over-analyze the "it's true" part at all nor compare it to Amityville: if you take the film for what it is, it's simply a highly-entertaining ghost-story joyride. I defend this film on its own merits: good acting (not their fault if the script sucks and they did admirably with it), fantastic horror eye-candy, genuine scream, and a few more surprises..

People are blind if they think this is a return to the classics.
Apart from a few lovely jumpy moments I though this film was rubbish,
some good performances, the main Kid was quite good, but I've got to say the editor certainly likes to tug his own nether regions. Whats happened to the subtle horror, the horror that infected your soul in the early seventies, generally silent, unnerving? The director tries to hard if you ask me, as does the editor, bloody hell everyone! The script was boring also and dare I say formulaic. Excuse me for saying that word, formulaic, its thrown around too much, although it has a truth, film scripts and indeed films, follow too many rules for me these days. For some reason they lack substance, like the film maker is trying to emulate a film that has happened or inspired them before, to make it successful, they're imagination is obviously far too shallow to find and tell a story from within, they have to chase the fleeting imagery of what could promote they're own success or what they've glimpsed on the screen. The sound in this film really made me angry, that slowly slowing down creaking boomy sound, it reminds me of a rave party, screeching strings at intense moments, give me silence I say and you would have had me melting in fear. Suggestion is the way to my heart in a good horror, stop trying to be fancy! It had potential and if I really squinted my eyes (and my ears) in this film I would say I enjoyed it, fantastic production values, good use of shock but..I'm sorry to say...overdone and heartless.. |
