The Houses October Built(2014)

“The film’s plot follows five friends who set out on a road trip in search of haunted house attractions, and find themselves targeted by a mysterious and disturbed group.”

It’s a found footage horror movie and it falls flat. It takes over half way through for it to get even semi-interesting. The acting is poor and the “casual” conversation among friends seems soooo forced and unnatural. The best acting came from a female cop that had about 2 lines in the beginning. There was no thrill here and thrill seeking is what the movie was all about. Yikes. I could never recommend this to anyone. It was just so bad. It could have been saved so many ways but, they wrote half a story and went with it. The ONLY woman in the group existed just to be a submissive tag a long character too and that was gross.

I’ll give them two things though. It was smart when they planned to film(during peek hours of some haunted houses and bourbon street nola) and some of the actual news footage they used in the beginning was smart as well.
