Horror House

I was so excited to watch this movie. Residents of a small town unknowingly become test subjects for the effects of electromagnetic waves on the human brain. I major in physics in college so I figured this would be right up my alley. Now I want to explicitly state that I have watched a lot of really bad movies and I love to give them all an equal chance when I sit down and click play, usually making it all the way through. I just could not do this one.

We start off in a very dreary small town where all the residents know each other and most of them work at the local factory. Our main character is a jack of all trades repair man that the whole town loves and notices a mysterious grey van driving around the roads of the town. He puts it behind him and carries on with his normal life. However, he should have sounded the alarm because that night, the van pulls up to a house and nukes a lady gathering her clothes from the clothes line outside. She falls, passes out and suddenly falls very ill. Our main character then finds himself in a similar situation while out hunting. We are now approximately 45 minutes into the film and virtually NOTHING has happened. I had to cut it off, I was so bored I started working on a crossword puzzle.

This movie tried to create a creepy atmosphere but it was just too slow even for my patience. The way it was filmed was an attempt at creativity but it just didn't work for this concept and the 16mm film looked like it was released in 1987 not 2007. The actors were subpar and every line felt so forced and uncomfortable. I really hoped for this movie to be a hit but what can you do...you win some you lose some.

Bottom line, stay away from this movie unless you want to bore yourself to sleep. 0 screams out of 5.

Reminder: this is just my opinion, I have read other reviews that had nothing but praise for this flick.

You can find it on netflix.com if you dare. If you have watched this movie please comment and let me know your thoughts.
