It's more focused on its twists than its characters, making it a dull nightmare for viewers.

The best scene in A House on the Bayou is when poor young Anna gets a nosebleed and faceplants smack into her veal cutlets. It perfectly illustrates the experience of watching this movie.

Common Sense Media

Smug urbanites face off against demonic provincials. That's more or less the plot of A House on the Bayou, and if that seems like a worn-out story, it's because it is.

Rated: 1/5

Screen Rant

Despite its potential, A House on the Bayou has nothing new or interesting to offer, with the final twist further undoing the film's scattered charm.

Rated: 1.5/5

Its meh but atleast the mom is nice to look at. However, they spend half the movie making you hate her. Just to try and make you empathetic to her.

I love this movie, it's got lots of twists especially the ending. It could use some more character relationship besides the parents but overall I really liked this movie, especially Jacob Loflands acting!

Película complicada. La historia es mala, malísima, y toma algunos giros argumentales que cuando pasan rozan la ridiculez y uno se queda sin poder creer lo que esta viendo. Pero a la vez tiene su encanto al ser tan impredecible (cosa que te termina atrapando) y las actuaciones son tan buenas (sobre todo del matrimonio protagonista, en especial ella) que terminan, no digo salvándola, pero si haciendo que una experiencia que podría haber sido peor sea al menos llevadera.

Kept my attention the whole way through. The daughter was annoying but it was a decent movie. I would recommend it.
