House
Directed by Steve Miner
- flavo43December 26, 2025Sometimes I’m in the mood for a movie that doesn’t demand too much thinking—just something fun, a little weird, and good for a few laughs. House fits that bill perfectly. It’s technically a horror film, but honestly, I’ve always seen it more as a quirky, slightly off‑kilter comedy wrapped in spooky packaging. It’s nowhere near the chaotic brilliance of Evil Dead, but it still has enough humour and oddball charm to keep me entertained. I enjoy how the film leans into its own absurdity without ever pretending to be something deeper or scarier than it is. The creatures, the bizarre set pieces, and the overall tone feel like the filmmakers were having fun—and that energy carries through. For me, House is one of those comfort‑horror movies: light, silly, and easy to throw on when I want something enjoyable without the intensity of more serious genre entries.
- Victor TorresOctober 31, 2025Wow, back when it first came out I remember reviewers generally liking it and the horror community talking about it. Unfortunately it doesn't really hold up and seems more like a made for TV movie. It stars the guy from America's Greatest Hero and has Norm from Cheers and Bull from Night Court.
