The one star is out of respect for Lance Hinriksen, aside from his presence this film was probably one of the worst films that I have seen in a very long while.
It has little to no connection to any of the other "House" movies (not that that those were great...), as a matter of fact it was just billed as "The Horror
Show" when I DVR'd it.
The only "horror" here is that this film got made and that Henriksen signed on.
It contains just about every cheesy horror gimmic and cliche. Bad acting. Bad special effects. Ridiculous story (development through resolution). What really put me over the edge was hearing a "howling/hissing cat" sound bite that I had on a Haunted House record when I was a kid, being used in one of the scenes as an actual cat.
This wasn't even good enough to qualify for my "so good it's bad" list.
