Trading genuine chills for cheesy computer-generated effects, this House should have been condemned.

Rather than spending valuable screen time trying to convince us that three pretentious film school students and a bunch of trees are actually scary, House on Haunted Hill actually shows us scary stuff.

Watching House on Haunted Hill is like going to a restaurant where the food looks delectable, but tastes awful.
