Salva certainly gets points for creative repurposing. Much of what transpires in "Dark House" has been seen before, just not all in the same movie. Go to Full Review

Mere minutes into "Dark House," it becomes depressingly clear that the deficit of imagination displayed by the title will not be made up for by the content. Go to Full Review
Inkoo Kang Los Angeles Times 03/13/2014
There's plenty of blood in the supernatural horror flick "Dark House," but what really defines director Victor Salva's latest effort is flop sweat. Go to Full Review

Doesn't always work as a cohesive whole, but it does have more than a few good moments. Go to Full Review

Dark House could really benefit from an Extreme Home Makeover, because as it stands, this is one architectural mess of a horror film. Go to Full Review

Dark House is lame. What it lacks in scares it more than makes up for in incomprehensible narrative choices Go to Full Review

Liam D @Mediawatcher2003 07/25/2024 An incompetent mess that features an cast phoning it in and an a writer and director not knowing what he is doing See more farah r @Farah 05/20/2016 The horror genre has degraded beyond repair in the recent years. I couldn't even finish this one. See more 03/31/2016 Underpar as a teenage slasher as it attempts to create a higher meaning story through the main character and is very messy for it. See more 08/10/2014 So bad it makes Sharknado look OSCAR worthy! See more 06/11/2014 Dans le creux de la vague, Victor Salva sait faire naitre la terreur en maitre du genre. Mais son script est simplement trop idiot pour que le reste puisse etre pris au serieux... See more 06/11/2014 Has Rotten Tomato jumped the shark? Yes. There was a time that I actually respected the "expert" reviews. It seems that every movie I find interesting and creepy (I like horror) gets a low "expert" rating. Horror movies are NOT supposed to be Oscar worthy. Most horror movies are "you see one you've seen most of them", this one is not one of those. Why do I like it? I'm not trying to impress with my "expert knowledge". See more Read all reviews
