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.

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.

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

A Haunted House es una comedia de terror que parodia películas como Paranormal Activity y otros éxitos del género de metraje encontrado. La película apuesta por un humor exagerado, irreverente y, en muchos momentos, absurdo, por lo que no será del gusto de todos.

I actually liked these movies better than the scary movie franchise. I think the comedy in these is just better.

In my opinion, this is a hard movie to laugh at if you're past 14. Really did not enjoy it, the sex jokes, object breaking, shouts make the film really annoying to watch and there's no subtility
