Description

Wes Craven, the director of The Serpent and the Rainbow and Shocker, locks you inside the most terrifying house on the street. Trapped inside a fortified home owned by a mysterious couple, a young boy is suddenly thrust into a nightmare. The boy quickly learns the true nature of the house's homicidal inhabitants and the secret creatures hidden deep within the house. Stunning visuals highlight this inventive film that the San Francisco Chronicle calls, "Wes Craven's most satisfying movie."

    Why do some reviewers whine about it not being 'horrific' enough ? This is a black comedy - and a funny one at that. If you've never seen it - then download it and enjoy ! It's funny, dark, silly, stupid, almost fairytale-ish - and totally entertaining..!!
  • Well well

    Horror? Not strictly. Kooky fun fest for all the family? I wouldn't advise it. Featuring Everett Mcgill & Wendy Robie (aka Ed & Nadine Hurley from Twin Peaks) as shut in gun toting fetishists, it's a sick comic nightmare with the emphasis on laughs. Most good films defy catagorisation and this is one of them. There's few genuinely funny, genuinely unsettling movies out there & I actually love it, quirky oddity that it is. Texas Chainsaw crossed with Home Alone? Kinda. But not.

    This film should really be in the comedy section, it doesn't even try and be scary half the time! I love horror films and was hoping for a good scare but sadly this didn't deliver :o( DO NOT BUY, rent if you absolutely have to :o)
  • Well Good
