Review of The Houses October Built (2014) by Chok S — 21 Oct 2014

If this movie was made into a haunted house, it would scared the hell out of me for real. But as a feature found-footage film here, it unfortunately feels like watching a commercial for haunted house for an hour and a half.

Whether this film seems to be taking itself too seriously or that it's just careless, the result is just not as satisfying as its thoughtful concept and premise. There are quite a few effective SCARE here but like I said, if this was a real haunted house, I honestly wouldn't dare to go in but as a film, it's still pretty cliche' and not quite as terrifying or scary as it should be.

And don't expect any GORY scenes here as the film is about a haunted house not a slaughter house, so yeah. Overall, it's FUN to see all these cool haunted houses featuring in the film and very interesting concept indeed, unfortunately the film has too many irritating actions and cliche' to make it a memorable found footage film or even a scary one [C+].
