Review of The Houses October Built (2014) by Andy P — 22 Oct 2016
This was almost a good movie. The most original Found Footage idea I've seen apart from Paranormal Activity but it just never quite gets there. The acting is good and the cast works so well together, I wouldn't be surprised if they are actually good friends in real life. Nothing feels like a performance until the 3rd act when the "scares" are supposed to be real and not just Fun housey...
The movie seems to end abruptly without any real definitive ending. No Who What When Where or why, and it leaves you wholly unsatisfied for a film that could have been much more. They seem to be focused on the female in this film as if to set her up as a lead, however her skills are lackluster and in the closing seen you can't tell if she's terrified or just constipated. Good try.
