House hunting is one of the most unique and best horror movies that I have ever seen. This movie is like no other horror movie I have seen before, taking on a bizarre chain of events it is completely original. The best way to watch this movie is to know nothing about the story in it, you should go into it fresh minded and you will be pleasantly surprised. There are small similarities of The Shining, Evil Dead and The Cabin In The Woods. The only thing that I would fault about this movie is the lack of confusion and natural reaction somebody would have if faced with the situation that the characters did in the movie. This is a must see movies and will leave any horror fan more than satisfied.

So, there are these two families who are desperately trying to escape from a spooky home in their car they set out to potentially buy, in tow with a mysterious girl they nearly ran over on the way, who's had her tongue cut out. They try to escape using the path they arrived from, but they just keep driving round in circles. Eventually, they run out of petrol, and are forced to shelter in the property. They think 'someone will come for them' but guess what... no-one does. They're stuck there for weeks, surviving on tins of cheap beef stew which mysteriously appear in the kitchen cupboard, while having to tolerate the obnoxious computerised voice-over of the guy who is selling the house. Not surprisingly, they start to crack up and physically harm each other, as well as see strange visions, including flashbacks of traumatic incidences from their respective pasts.And all while this was going on, all I could think was: "Wot, no phones?"You've got two teenage kids and four adults... who don't have a mobile between them when they go out. In 2013. Yea, right. They could have been included and made out that they couldn't be used because of dodgy reception, or even that the battery was dead, but nope... that was a stretch too far for the great minds who wrote it. You may think this is a minor point, but it is symbolic of the lack of attention to rest of the film, which is confusing when not dull, and when we do get to the blood'n'guts, as brief as possible. It is kind of funny to see cans of cheap slop emerge day in, day out (which sorta reminded me of the Tesco Value range) from nowhere and the people's reaction to having to eat this crap for such an extended period (I wouldn't have volunteered to clean the toilet), but that's a minor pleasure in what is a LLOONNGG haul.And yet AGAIN, they've changed the name of the film for the UK release (to The Wrong House) and given us a great DVD box front cover, which isn't indicative of the quality of the production contained within at all. Once again, don't be fooled. 4/10

A strange supernatural barrier prevents two house-hunting families from leaving the estate of a house they visited. Whenever they try to leave, they always find themselves back at the front door. This is certainly a good premise for a horror movie. It would be ideal for an episode of The Twilight Zone, but Rod Sterling would have properly milked the implications of the premise. The two families, which seethe with tensions and secrets, seem to accept to readily their imprisonment. They don't bother to explore the most basic questions. Why specifically are they trapped in the house? Do they have any links to the place or each other? More importantly, they also have a survivor from a previous imprisonment with them. Although she had been rendered mute by the removal of her tongue, she is intelligent and certainly able to communicate, but they don't even bother to ask her questions for the most part. Still, the film manages to convey some tension and suspense. It also benefits from some good performances. However, it falls apart completely at the end. Near the end we discover that at least one member of each family had some connection to the family that originally lived in the house. Unfortunately, that ruins the film because it ends with two more families being drawn into the building. Did both of those families also wrong the original occupants? What about the two families that we trapped in the house prior to the start of this film. Did they also wrong the original occupants? It doesn't make sense that all of those people have a personal connection to the spirits in the house.

"Two very different families search for the perfect house to call home. When both families show up at a deserted farmhouse, it quickly becomes clear that something is not right. After rescuing Hanna, a lost girl whose tongue has been cut out, they discover that every attempt to leave the farm takes them right back to the front door" I bought this film of the shelf in a supermarket, quite cheap and figured well the bad acting will be amusing at least since most films I buy like that are! Well I put it off for a week or so and was at a loose end so thought why not give it a watch.I am so glad I did - I was glued! It's not your typical gore-fest most Horror lovers seem to like nowadays, more cerebral as the characters descend into desperation and become haunted by their own personal demons the longer they are trapped. The film doesn't explain itself to you and requires you to put yourself in that mindset - what would you do? and I think that is what a lot of people don't like, it just is.The acting was convincing enough, characters believable and setting was relatable. The actors in the film I hadn't heard of except for Marc Singer who was in Beastmaster (1982)when I was 4/5, but that didn't bother me. I hated the characters who were nasty and empathised with others who were trying to make the best of it which means to me they are doing a good enough job.Overall, a good find. If you want all out horror, gore and jumping out of your seat terror then this is not for you. However, if you find you want something interesting and creepy give it a go!
