Critics Consensus

House crumbles under cheap effects, chaotic tonal shifts, and aimless antics, ending up as a hyperactive, juvenile horror-comedy.

House cops out like too many 80s horror movies by sending itself up all the time.

"House" is a nicer place to visit than you might've expected -- even if you wouldn't want to live there.

I'd say "House" is messy, but interesting.

"House" goes out of control -- it's like watching a magician eaten by his rabbits.

Director Steve Miner ably steers between broad humour and beastly visitations for tame shock value.

It catapults into the depths of movie trash.

The trailer looked cool, but the movie ended up having an identity crisis. I think it had some interesting ideas, and some cool filming techniques, but the overall product is just straight up wacky.

House is a quirky blend of spooky and silly, mixing haunted-house tension with bold, slapstick-style chaos. Its surreal gags, mischievous visuals, and self-aware absurdity make it more fun than frightening—but that’s exactly the charm. It’s a clever, energetic cult classic that turns horror tropes into something delightfully weird.

Good 80s classic horror! I remember watching it as a kid — the scene where the little boy has a hand on his back really freaked me out. Watching it now, it just looks cheesy, but still great fun!

Dumb with cheesy special effects. George Wendt is great!
