Haunting House




Haunting house
2 Families go to a fancy house in the woods to try to buy it. Not a cabin in the woods, no. This is a multiple bed room house with little recordings that tell you about what is in the house. The place is big and cheap to buy. There one catch.  Once they get into the house they can’t leave. Whenever they try to walk to far from the house they come back to where they were.  They try to drive out and they go around in circles. They are  trap in a time loop, with a mute woman who seems to know about the house. They are  seeing  illusions and slowly going insane as dark secrets revealed. There are two things that help this movie. First one is the fact, they tried to leave the moment things looked weird. This avoid the “why don’t they just leave the haunted house”. Answer they can’t. They try and try to no avail. If you think of a way for them to escape, changes are they will try it. You follow them and feel the frustrations when they plans and theories go to hell. The seconds is it quickly skip months ahead of time, so you can see the madness kick in. The people quick get the idea there some sort of force working against them.

 One thing I didn’t like was the mute girl. A problem that could be solved is the woman just pick up an f’ing pencil. Just write down your words woman.  Since nearly everyone on here a little F up, part of the mystery is who to trust because they all seem to be horrible people accept for 1 or 2 people. That said some of the freak out of the character a bit over the top. Sometimes it becomes like a lifetime movie where a character is a nice guy one minute, then he ready to choke a B the next. So it gets over the top near the end and some of the decisions seem suspect. Although it hard to  blame on them to much going mad. Still has some fun twist into it, and a nice spooky picture. B
