Ben D (We discuss House on ep. 146 of TRM.) A Horror-Comedy that isn’t very scary or funny (at all), House is good for two things: Roger Cobb’s (William Katt) v-neck sweater that belongs in the v-neck Hall of Fame, and the handful of cool creatures made with practical effects. The plot is nonsensical. The Vietnam flashbacks do serve a purpose at the end, but even then, there’s so little revealed to tie Big Ben’s (Richard Moll) motivations to Cobb’s hauntings that the payoff is crap. Sandywitch (Peter Pitofsky), the ghoulish form of Cobb’s wife, Sandy (Kay Lenz) is one of the bright spots of this movie. Tanya (Mary Stävin) serves no purpose and could’ve been used as a sexy, tantalizing subplot for Cobb, only to be herself turned into some nightmarish creation (or something, idk), but instead she just drops her kid off, tricking Cobb into babysitting him, and leaves? The movie isn’t fun enough to merit the cult following. House is a huge disappointment. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/25 Full Review Robson C Roger Cobb é um escritor de sucesso que decide se mudar para a casa da sua tia, despois que ela se suicidou. Divorciado da esposa e sofrendo com o desaparecimento do filho, Roger passa a ser assombrado pela casa, enquanto tenta escrever um novo livro sobre suas experiências no Vietnam. O filme inicia com um ar que será sobre casas mal assombradas e as ilusões que ela atinge os seus ocupantes. Mas em um determinado momento o filme se volta para o humor com criaturas das mais grotescas feitas. Eu achava que os palhaços de Killer Clowns From Outer Spaces eram bizarros, mas as criaturas deste filme são horríveis. Não no sentido de feias e assustadoras, mas sim de ser um péssimo trabalho de maquiagem. É uma produção de baixo orçamento, mas temos vários exemplos de produções desse tipo que se saíram muito bem em maquiagem e efeitos práticos. Sinceramente não sei como esta produção fez sucesso e teve continuações. Roteiro péssimo, com personagens ridículos. Uma floresta vietnamita feita em estúdio. É constrangedor. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/29/24 Full Review Jasper J I generally thought it was more of a comedy than a horror movie, still I liked it more than House 2 because of the jump scares and horror instead of a noncomedy movie, I liked the monster designs, including the closet monster he records. I liked the ending because his his dead friend in the Vietnam war trying to kill him. I liked the happy ending with his long lost found son. I rated the movie 4/5 stars and really enjoyed it and recommend it as an morning movie or late at night. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/28/23 Full Review Steve D Nothing really new here but effective. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/29/23 Full Review David W Campy, slightly goofy, 80's light horror that's not going to scare anyone above 12 (or probably much younger for that matter). That said I've seen plenty worse haunted house movies and at least it's well acted for the genre. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Steven F I love this movie still as good as I remember from back in the day watching this, back then this was scary for me and now I am older still love it, what a classic Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/31/22 Full Review Read all reviews
