Some things I liked some I did not.
Just perfect...
Brilliant and touching
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
View MoreBased on the synopsis I would have watched it if I couldn't find anything else. However, a friend who also likes these types of motion pictures enjoyed it, so I watched. The acting was pretty decent. Some chewing up the set, but I went in knowing that was to be expected. I loved how the chronology was shot and that you don't really know the details of catalyst until the end. I couldn't predict it in its entirety until the final moments (and I'm pretty good at that).The gore, pain & mutilatuons were unrealistic but that didn't stop me from loving it! I'd for sure watch more from these folks!
View MoreScarehouse shows some potential but the director/writer messed the story up - I had especially trouble to connect to the motivations of the killer-duo: You let yourself talk into doing some bullshit (drugging the guy) and on top your are too dumb to check that he's in such a bad condition that he is about to die!? And you blame the other girls for your dumbness!? And you don't only want to kill them but you even need to torture them in most horrible ways only a pevert can imagine!? I guess the movie-makers realized how weak the motivation (some years in prison and a bad reputation) is for such a doing and added the suicide of one mother, but anyway, imo anything but convincing. ***BIG SPOILERs*** But the director/writer even messed the end up: If both the killer girls would have hanged themselves we would have got some kind of poetical suicide in the end, but instead one of the girls betrays the other and this is done so dumb - stabbing herself and leaving the fingerprints on the knife will not help much. Both girls left fingerprints and other evidences on the whole scare-house and on the victims, so how the f*** she thinks she would have the slightest chance to get away with from being jailed for lifetime or riding the electrical chair!?So what's left to say!? Scarehouse is no disaster but could have been much better with some more care story-side. An one-timer for the connoisseur of revenge horror movies. The gore level I would call rather low, so this is imo no torture porn (but "highlights" are some of those I admit creative torture/kill scenes).
View MoreWhat is the equivalent of a wet dream for a murder? Well whatever it is im sure scare house is pretty damn close, OK picture you're a murderer and imagine being able to do everything you've ever wanted to do to a group of sorority sisters. Oh wait you don't have to anymore, just watch the scarehouse instead. This film was raw, sexy and disgusting all at once. Now typically a little doll running around with a knife doesn't scare me, nor am I too worried about the babadook getting me, but sorority sisters, now those betches can be scary. i always find that the more plausible the plot is for a horror film the scary it becomes.I appreciate the realist approach, and am proud of this Canadian content.
View MoreI go from watching 3 very good films... All About Eve, Sunset Bvd, and The Babadook... to the worst horror film perhaps I've ever seen... turned it off after maybe 15 minutes.Scarehouse (2014)The only people rating this a 9 or 10 are shills and idiots, no one who knows film rates this up there with the best movies of all time. All the stupid party/music video scenes are made to appeal to dumb teens, I know how it works... but it's bad movie making, any time you lower your film to the lowest common denominator you are no longer an artist, you are a tool. But this movie is so bad it's nearly unwatchable, it's formulaic crap... basic torture porn with female antagonists.AVOID THIS MOVIE1/10
