Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

I was pleasantly surprised to find this movie enjoyable, but creepy though. I don't normally find FF movies enjoyable, but this one is GREAT. I'm surprised this doesn't get more recognition. If you're just looking to find something scary to watch, please give this movie a chance. You won't be disappointed. Looking forward to see the second one.

After reading the reviews for this movie ( like I often do ) my interest was definitely piqued by all the positive reviews that everyone was giving. I was wondering if these were actual reviews or just shills for the people responsible for making the movie. After taking the time to watch this movie, I can say that without a doubt, these were definitely genuine reviewers. No need to rehash the plot as many here have already done so, I will just agree with them that the "found footage" genre has gotten stale and overdone lately, but this film does it correctly. It proves that when you actually take the time to develop a good script and find quality actors, not just your friends, a great movie can be produced.

This movie is very underrated. I went into it expecting another straight to video/found footage yawner and came out very impressed. This movie held my attention the entire time. I was in the edge of my seat because I didn't know what was around every corner. Even better, I had no idea how it was goin got end. If you enjoy a good horror flick, do yourself a vfavor and check this one out.

I'm not a fan of horror films and I'm always sceptical of the FF type. I had some time to kill (no pun intended) before going to bed and wanted something trashy that I could switch off early if it got too stupid. That's what I was expecting to get from a film titled "Hell House" with no-name actors and actresses. That's not what I got.Instead, I got a well thought out film with people who can actually act, a plot-line that didn't feel contrived, and enough unsettling scenes to keep me viewing.The most predictable part came right at the end with 2C - it was obvious what would happen and I'm sure the twist could have been made better. However, that's a minor blemish.The only mystery in this film that never gets explained is what was it that forced them to stay at the house. The found-footage cuts off just as it's about to be revealed during one of the conversations. Maybe I missed the explanation later on - or perhaps it was just left in as a joke on the audience by the film makers (they actually filmed the entire conversation and then in edit decided to cut it out deliberately).
