Fear House Trailers

When a group of friends and colleagues tracks reclusive writer Samantha Ballard (Aleece Jones) to her remote desert house, their reluctant hostess informs them that they'll die if they try to escape. After her ex-husband disastrously tests Samantha's pledge, the remaining guests sink into horror. If they want to leave Fear House alive, this desperate group must act fast in writer-director Michael R. Morris's claustrophobic spook fest.

FEAR HOUSE suggests a place that you cannot escape from without dying. In this case, it is an old house where a writer lives. Some old friends and relative stop in for a visit, and find her in a traumatized state. She warns them that no one upon entering can ever leave. The house makes them visualize their biggest fears (hence the title), and then they die. This is a no-budget job, badly acted (with your typical no-named cast) and sporting inferior special effects. However, I like the concept, which for those old enough to remember, came from the original THE HAUNTING. That's why I gave it a 4 instead of a 1. But please, watch it at your own discretion.

Oh man, what a terrible movie! First of all, it start with bad type of filmography, OK guys, they try to do something different, but unfortunately it doesn't work!!! Thanks god it takes us only few minutes on start.The plot is very confused, because they have mixed supernatural things with zombie in some parts of movie and it doesn't make sense.The effects is other bad news about this movie, it is amateur and it doesn't deserve anymore comments.So man, if you like good horror movies forget about this one, I really have regretted to watching this movie. Don't make same mistake!

I viewed this film late at night, i wasn't tiered, i was wide awake but oh god i wish i was asleep.I love cheesy horror films, but there's a certain amount i can stand and then it just goes too far. The film starts off on a horrible note with a couple making love inside "Fear House". However the house has never been touched in 100's of years the place looks awfully modern. Enyway, back to the story. They are in the middle of doing it when a guy walks in and says the usual "Your trespassing". blah blah blah. The couple run out and die horrible cheesy deaths.Spoilers!!! Don't look! The guy slips on a wet floor (don't know why it was wet) and and then "suddenly" a coat rack falls on him and stabs him in the eye! His girlfriend run's out and trys to get the gate open but it won't (typically) then "suddenly" a hook come's down and stabs he beneath the jaw.now with these few deaths i assume you can tell how the film is going to continue on.A writer then rent's to the house to concentrate on her newest book. blah blah blah.nine months past.Group of new people enter the story. Writers brother. Random woman who has lost her father (for some reason they are all sharing the same car). Writers manager and his assistant. also the car behind there's has the writers ex-husband in it and also a trailer park trash Barbie. They go inside the house. am boring you aren't i? Well the look around find the weirdo sister. she tells them a not so spooky story about a "Little girl" and they all get freaked.Spoilers! The Barbie and ex get knocked off. She gets killed by a stupid dog that we never see and he get's electrocuted by a random hanging wire.The story continues with stupid and pointless dialogue and stupid scenes that make no sense. Now each character seem's to have a fear but if i could keep track of them all only two get killed by there fears and the really loosely I'm saying. Well there's one character that i didn't really mind-was the managers assistant who then blossom's a "suprising" relationship with the brother. All this drama could kill me or should kill me cus this film was terrible.Most cheesy horror films, have if not a good budget, good make up effects. But this was different. The characters were killed off randomly at points and had no relevance to the story. And the Ending! Normally they sum things up but i was left thinking wtf? I didn't get it. it was crap. The acting was rubbish. The scares were pathetic and didn't make sense. i would just rather take a bullet than watch this film.And the worst part is. I spent money on it!!!

After reclusive writer Samantha Ballard hasn't gotten in touch with her brother Anthony in months, he along with her publisher, his assistant, and the previous home-owners daughter all decide to go up to the secluded house that she had recently bought. But the house, as always is the case in these type of movies, is haunted and they, along with Sam's husband and his girl whom haven't been invited, appear to be in for one hell of a night. And the viewer is in for one hell of a night of...of utter boredom. I'm really sorry but this movie just didn't really do it for. Trust me, I've since worse low-budget horror films than this one. A lot worse...by far. But at the same time the story didn't snap or crackle for me (nor did it pop, by the way). The deaths were too quasi-laughable and didn't really fit into the tone the film was trying to have. And talking of the acting caliber, well that's like shooting fish in a barrel, so I'll digress.My Grade: D+Eye Candy: Meredith Barnett gets topless brieflyDVD Extras: Commentary with Director Micheal Morris, actress Alecee Jones & actor Matthew Stiller; just under 3 minutes of outtakes; Actor rehearsal; and the promo trailer for this film
