House

The Greatest American Hero and Norm Peterson take on a demon infested house. If you recognize those references, this is a movie for you. A few genuine scares with a lot of laugh moments too.

What a great fun movie but the fact that this is not in HD is absolutely mind boggling… Come on iTunes get with it there are so many movies you have an STD and not in HD Also Why can’t I add this to my Wishlist to keep looking to see if it’s ever in HD

I am convinced that the Gulf of Tonkin incident occurred only so that this movie would be made. The only thing that could make this movie more enjoyable is If there was a special feature commentary from Maya Lin. This movie is like a mash up of the Pentagon Papers, the Garbage pail kids, and an after school special from the month of October; and with all sincerity, it works very well. House is aware of its absurdity, and that lends to a certain stylization with the monsters and setting of the house (especially during the climax) that is effective. Unlike some of its contemporaries, this film's camp and silliness is pleasant because the story is unique. House doesn't seem to have the same cult following as other strict Horrror classics, but this movie is canon and is well deserving of a view from any fan afficiando.

I grew up with this fim. Someone in my family rented it and it was never returned. I watched it quite often because of this fact, and watching it again after all these years brings me back. It is is defintly right up there with Evil Dead (II) and Phantasm (II) as my favorite dark comedic horror films, that to this day no other have accomplished, with the exception of Donnie Darko. The music and the era of this film are worthy enough of sheer brilliance. Of course some effects are cgessy, but dang i love me some cheese ever now and again!

It might be an 80's horror movie but it is far removed by the usual plot devices and humor seeping through the cracks of this unusual story. When released it was a novel genre still frothing with delight at the potential to scare audiences. The most wonderful part about this movie (and its sequel)is that it doesn't take itself too seriously. Fought along the edges of creepshow and tales from the crypt, it blends dark humor, wonderfully bizarre horror effects and a classic cast of actors with a fairly original storyline (for the time). As movies go these days it would be considered below sub-par simply because it would be rehashed (we can only hope for a remake), but when this film was released it was wonderful nod to the genre. I love this movie for the nostalgia, effects and odd shocks. It reminds me of my childhood….and while that might scare me, it also makes me very happy. Don't watch for the quality, watch for the era.
