Watched it at AMC Theaters
In This House... Quick Review: If Paranormal Activity was an arthouse film, this is the answer to that question. This is one of the weirdest films I have seen in a long time. Plus it's a return for me to watch horror movies in theaters that actually freaked me out. This was so fucked up and I wasn't ready for it to be honest. It's a very slow horror film that lets to live in the environment and tone of this house. But some of it it's through the point of the kid's vision of these nightmares. The cinematography is quite interesting. There are a lot of bland, wall, fuzzy shots that make you uncomfortable. It's low and high exposed in camera terms and there's a lot of film grain throughout. The sounds of the grains will make you uncomfortable and uneasy sitting through the film. It's mostly dead shots with nothing going on. But when the weird stuff starts to show on screen, it's haunting and scary. There are clever editing moments that really got me and jump scared me. However, I felt like I wanted the film to end because of the well-directed horror but also being so long. This could've been an hour of the film and there are shots or sequences that could've been cut. I would say I wasn't quite bored. I was just waiting for something which made my experience a little bit disappointing. But the final 10 minutes of the film were the most shocking and terrifying. It made me so uncomfortable and it achieved it. It's a fucked up film from start to finish and if you are looking for something to get spooked at night, well this is the film to watch. It won't be for everyone since there's barely any narrative or music. Funny thing is that there's one couple who walked out of the movie in which case I knew that this film won't be pleasing to major audiences. At least watch the trailer or read a review to know if this is worth watching. Overall, this film was quite interesting. It's mostly dead shots, a few jump scares, grainy shots, open domain footage, and Legos. I hope LEGO sponsored this film because that's great marketing. This was quite an experience watching an arthouse film at my local theater and I'm happy that this film is getting the attention it deserved.
