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.

Rated: 1/4

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.

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.

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

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

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

Rated: 1/5

The screenplay isn't very strong but I do like how the director handles it, and the performances are decent. There are some real creepy shots and some memorable violence. The filming style is quite nice the way it's lit and captured, it definitely has that Jeepers Creepers style to it.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

The horror genre has degraded beyond repair in the recent years. I couldn't even finish this one.

Underpar as a teenage slasher as it attempts to create a higher meaning story through the main character and is very messy for it.

The premise looked good. The acting was decent. i particularly liked the hammy haunted attraction mogul. It immediately fell apart when the deaths started. The premise was so terrible even the characters themselves point it out and the flimsy explaination does not hold up well.
