rather boring and underwhelming


boy did they tell on the movieposter what a dark movie this was and how it beats everything ever.
had the hardest time watching this bore to the end. the things that were happening at the house were at times strange but nothing more. she got beaten up a little and had to witness some dead bodies and some gross stuff here and there. she never got fragged once, she had to do nothing that would justify the over the top pr-stuff they put on the poster. dont't watch it. it's a (marketing) trap. they wanted to exploit the cases that pop up then and when in the media, but failed miserably.

I agree that it's not the best horror and the acting wasn't exactly top notch but, at least I believe this is true...that the Fred and Rose West 'House of Horrors' was an influence and with the loosely base fact thrown into the film it makes it quite hard to stomach when you think what must've gone on in that house..
