bjon1452 To say I was disappointed is an understatement. Why is it that modern horror films are merely "narratives" that end, leaving you with virtually nothing? This one is right there with the above. It could have been good. The suspense keeps you interested, but nothing happens. No explanations, nothing. Are we introduced to madness, domestic abuse, vivid imagination, nightmares or was I dreaming? Believe me, it could have been that I fell asleep and participated in my own convoluted dream myself. But I'd be accused of inciting boredom if I related any of this stuff to anybody else. Oh, and who would want to start all over in a house with no electricity, phone, and maybe no bathroom; we don't know. And what really lurks behind the blue door? You'll have to supply that too. Don't bother with this one. You'll get angry.

chibottom Otherwise, this movie makes no sense. The "surprise" ending doesn't explain anything and many of the mysteries in the movie were just lazy writing. Some of the acting is OK, and Christian Oliver can just stand there for all I care, he's so beautiful.Here are questions I have and what I assume would be the writers' responses.SPOILERS BELOWWhat does the ringing phone mean? Who knows?Why does she obsess about her phone charger? Eh, not important.Why did she imagine she dunked herself in the river? Don't ask.How did she get enough blueberries to bake a pie? Don't ask us.Why is she scrubbing the wall? I think I was high when i wrote that part.Why would the Andersons live in such a dump if they can afford to retire to Florida? Huh, I didn't think of that.Why don't we get to see Christian Oliver naked? What?

gavin6942 After a family tragedy in the chaotic city, Chris and Maggie Conley, in a last-ditch effort to save their dying marriage, purchase an isolated home in the deepest woods, to which they quickly discover evil has a key.What do we have? A great looking picture, solid acting and plenty of atmosphere. And for what it's worth, the poster is wonderfully designed. So nice to see something artistic and not the same old tropes.The film is a bit of what you might call the "slow burn", not really picking up until about 53 minutes in (and then creating tension by using music derivative of ABC's "Lost" before slowing back down).Director David Mun has a long list of credits going back to 2001, mostly in technical categories (lighting and electrical). This is actually his directing debut, which makes it even more impressive.

vampiri If I have to choose one genre I choose horror, and as a fan of horror I obviously Watch a lot of horror Movies. Furthermore, as a fan of horror you cannot really have high expectations in general because horror Movies are what they are.That said, you still expect some degree of quality when you read about the plot and find it interesting, but boy was I disappointed with House of Good and Evil.Plot: married couple relocates to the countryside trying to salvage their marriage after a tragic loss of their unborn Child.Many horror Movies have low to medium budget and the creators succeed in various degrees to put out a nice package. This Movie has a "nice package". It is well made, has an intriguing title, decent actors. But...in the end it is quite a bore. The ending is a total disappointment and the writer, to me, probably ran out of gas or suffers from limited imagination.The title was promising, I expected a totally different turn-out, to be frank, the turn-out was negative. I cannot really write what I expected because then I would spoil the Movie for you.Negative is also the pacing, in the beginning the "horror" comes on too strong and a bit too early, and after those initial horrific elements they die out and are left hanging and unexplored. Some might classify this as being a red herring and thus being somewhat clever. However, I say you cannot stray too far away from your initial horror elements which should convey where the Movie is going. So...the initial build-up does not equal the ending which I also Think is boring and shows signs of bad imagination and taking the easy way out.I still give it 4 out of 10 because it has decent actors, standard production values. Qualitywise it is like Whisher, the Unborn, Prophecy 4 & 5, although not of the same sub-genres.
