Michael Ledo ***MAY CONTAIN PLOT SPOILERS***Nick Di Santo (Luke Kleintank) what's in a name, has a special ability in that he can see how people are going to die. He has a small circle of friends and his mom is in a mental institution and only now is he seeing their deaths after 23 years. Nick inherits a house from his mom, an abandoned home which has things in the walls. He explores with his pregnant wife Eve (Alex McKenna) and meet Lilith (Lacey Anzelc) and Samael (Ethan S. Smith) and Seth (Tobin Bell) with an ax. Gosh. Where is this headed?At this point it was pretty easy to guess who is Nick's father...his reason for visiting the house. Believe it or not I liked the film better with Frankenstein in it.I grew bored watching the film. The building of the story and character was haphazard and ineffective. The actors weren't really that great except for Tobin Bell.Mediocre rental.

Jesse Boland Tobin Bell has been absent for a few years, I for one am glad to be seeing Jigsaw's face again(Saw lover, and so happy they are making #8 even though they wrapped everything up nicely in 7 anyway) sorry, really I am happy to see him creeping around in this movie. There are a lot of terrible things that this movie is trying to pass as a single fluid story, and it is a real shame that all of those things are not brought together well enough, it could just be inexperience, but you can plainly see that the story has to be crammed into a few places like Goofy packing a trunk, and just as successfully. I can say that though because there is a good semi original story here that gets lost in it's self more than once, and they came pretty close to closing the deal, they just didn't. The acting from all of the characters is really good, I was reminded of Silent Hill movies at times, or In The Mouth of Madness, and you are kept off of your guard really well for most of the movie. There are some decent reveals, and some very unexpected turns, but it does not all fit together at the end, and that is too bad. The Golems were nicely done, and felt very intense, and the secret conspiracy all around the young heroes is as unsubtle as it should be. A real pickle though, I did Enjoy a lot of this movie so I do recommend it to horror/suspense fans, it is unique, and that is always a good thing, it just isn't quite as good as it seems like it could have been.

Ringhio8 Haunted aka Dark House, is a good surprise for horror fans and for a horror movie containing this specific theme, a theme that has been repeated a hundred times before, and most of the times, the result was awful.Story is familiar to anyone, so i won't mention it. This movie has many elements you've seen before. But it manages to combine them affectively by creating a unique atmosphere. Dark House has a good plot, with very good flow, intense atmosphere, keeps your interest the whole time. There are many gloomy scenes, which helps the story's atmosphere and gets the viewer in the mood of it. It's not boring at all. Yeah OK, it has some clichés and flaws, where all movies have, but it's not disappointing or annoying at all.Victor Salva has created his best movie so far, at least in horror ones. It gives you a surprisingly good atmosphere, good plot, suspension, tense and scary moments. There's a constant tension the whole time. The appearance of Tobin Bell is a huge plus, with his great acting and incredibly deep voice, on a role who easily manages to deliver, tricking and chilling the viewers the way he knows to. Leslie Ann Down is a positive thing too, who is still gorgeous at the age of 60.I avoided to write any details about the story, cause i didn't want to reveal anything and spoil someones interest to watch this movie.Overall, this is a very good movie, and i definitely recommend it.6 out of 10.

Flow Ding ding ding ding, JackPot!! WoW, was I impressed or what. I knew Victor Salva was on this one, and his work usually managed to stand tall, but man, if this movie came just a few years sooner it could have been somewhat of a pioneer. The character complexity is lovely, to actually see people with many faces, not even knowing which one is the real one, the plot, well, it is a movie about a guy that inherits a house and believe it or not, it's actually so much more to it, the tension provided by the sound is quite good, especially considering the fact that they did not use fancy bands or anything, simple and effective, I mean, I actually graded this a 7. Because it works as a horror, it didn't even show nudity, when it could, cause it preferred to rely on something more, and considering this is not a slasher, I have to say, Bravo!!Look, words will get you psyched on, and I don't wanna send you to somewhere expecting a masterpiece, but in my honest opinion, this is the best "house in the woods" movie I've seen in a long time. Evil Dead the remake was all about gore, Dark House is all about plot. Scares will come, tension will build around you, and question marks will pop all around. Dark House, thank you for keeping the hope of good horror still alive!
