Audience Member This "film" (yes I'm using the word film in quotation marks) comes from Brain Damage Films, the same people who subjected us to "Granny" 6 years after this so-called "movie" was made. Here we are with DeadHouse, a movie SO bad that it probably caused half of the cast to lose interest in pursuing any kind of acting career. It's probably the reason or one of the reasons that SOV (shot-on-video) tribute films to Texas Chainsaw Massacre and House of 1,000 corpses aren't made anymore. This movie is 78 minutes long! 78!!!!!! It should've been shorter because it was fever-inducing. The movie goes like this: A group of annoying twats get into some car troubles and then go into an abandoned house for help, because you and I both know that abandoned houses are TOOOOOOTALLY reliable if you're in shitty situations. They end up just breaking into the house and then they get held captive by two psychotic brothers, a drunken, psychotic, chubby Mexican-looking dude named Kain, and his brother Victor, a tall, chubby white guy with a clown mask on. They then spend like half of the film's runtime going through stuff and trying to "get out" even though they just talk and try to find clues on both killer's identities and history. This story could've worked and might've made it a decent traditional slasher if the filmmakers weren't so knuckle-dragging and didn't drag ass while making this movie. The filmmaking was so bad that not even films like Mr. Jingles and Grim Weekend aka S.I.C.K. (serial insane clown killer) hold up to the "standards" of shitty filmmaking that DeadHouse holds. Half of the movie (mainly the dark scenes) looks to be lit with only one small portable light, or sometimes they get lazy and just resort to an in-camera photo negative effect with the picture quality of a 10$ security camera. The movie, all in all, doesn't really move in any direction to speak of, it's just one scene of the main characters trying to escape the house and conversations between two idiotic cops. All until near the end of this film, that's how it plays out most of the movie. The killers, Kain, and clown masked Victor, could've worked as slasher villains if the movie actually flowed nicely and gave them more screentime and more character, but this movie does none of those things and this is the outcome. There is a plot twist at the end which is the ONLY even slightly good thing about this movie, the rest is just downhill. Just downhill. Directors Pablo Macho Maysonet and Brian Rivera have blood on their hands for this piece of garbage, thanks guys for setting the horror genre 16 years ago, now the rest of us have to pick up your slack. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Well, watching DEADHOUSE through to the end is less unpleasant than hemorrhoid surgery, anyway.
