Young couple Malcolm (Marlon Wayans) and Kisha (Essence Atkins) have just moved into their dream home. As they settle in, they learn that they're not alone -- not because the house is haunted, but because Kisha is possessed by a demon. Desperate to salvage his relationship -- and more importantly -- his sex life -- Malcolm hires a coterie of paranormal specialists, which includes a priest and ghostbusters, to banish the unwelcome intruder from Kisha's body.

Critics Consensus

A Haunted House seeks to offend every sensibility, but it's greatest sin: not being funny!

You know a fright-flick craze is in danger of running its course when Marlon Wayans comes along to broadly, belatedly spoof it.

1.5/5

The writing from Wayans and his collaborators is lazy, derivative and never fails to go for the easiest - and usually most base - punchline.

.5/5

A Haunted House is technically inept, monotonous, and stiflingly cheap-looking. How this cost $2.5 million dollars to produce is beyond me.

Too banal to be offensive, it's certainly one to miss

If I could put a 0 on it I would, the humor was so forced and not funny at all

I thought is was great fun. Contrary to what most say about it, I found it to be really funny. The cast was good too. I like juvenile potty humor so this really did it for me. Paranormal activity is one of my least favorite horror movies, and I would watch this one over the real one any day.
