B-D Review: 'House' Preaches to the Wrong Choir
Friday, November 7, 2008

Roadside Attractions' House in now in approximately 400 theaters across the country and this reviewer is begging you not to see it. "Completing Roadside Attractions’ HOUSE was physically draining, which is something a viewer should never have to endure when in theaters. The adaptation of the novel by Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker is preachy, whiney and painfully cliché... There’s not a single thing that can be recommended in this film and it’s suggested you avoid it at all costs – even on DVD."

They adapted the wrong Ted Dekker book by far, then. Mr. Disgusting is probably right about it being preachy. Ted Dekker's book Showdown is infinitely better, more original, and nowhere near preachy. It's sad this adaption is bad, and I'm sure it is. It had potential. *Sigh*

Try not to laugh but I actually liked it. Granted it had so many things going wrong with it but at least it wasn't another Saw or remake. Tho Midnite Meat Train gets my vote for best horror of the year.

Praise the Lord! I'm glad I didn't bother going to see this one. It's very rare that Christian horror doesn't suck.

Looks like this movie has a good cast. It's just a shame that it didn't live up to what it could have been.

Cripes, this movie blew massive chunks. I was hoping that it would be great, they had a good trailer and a seemingly decent premise. If it hadn't been for Leslie Easterbrook and Bill Mosely I would have abandoned this crapfest after the first 15 minutes. Even they were a let down... their characters were under used and I kept waiting for there to be more of them only to be disappointed in the long run. And the Tin Man? What a joke!
