HOUSE OF PURGATORY is another predictably boring indie horror flick that feels like it mined the 1980s for inspiration. A vapid and cliched quartet of unlikeable teenage characters head off to a haunted house where they find themselves assailed by an evil presence in order to atone for their own sins. This is slow throughout and seemingly ad libbed, made without a single moment of horror - just the usual bad acting and poor production values leading to a disappointing climax.

A group of friends visit a haunted house and get more than they expect.Started out great and promising and then it just went downhill after the 40 minute mark. As they go deeper into the house they were suddenly separated and each experience their own personal fears. A lot of it involves childhood abuse, and in my opinion child abuse doesn't mesh well with horror, unless it's done right. It turned from a potential nice Halloween B flick to a full out drama. Not only was it depressing but it was also boring. And the actors playing high school students were old enough to have teen kids themselves.

I live about 45 minutes outside of Detroit. Here we do have haunted houses that if you make it through you get your money back. Hopefully they're not like this one! While there was the expected jump scares and played out horror tricks, I think all in all this was a really entertaining movie. 4 teens with deep secrets go into,a haunted house where there are no other people around. They are are told there are 5 levels but when they walk up it's just a a shed. So they figure "must be a hell of a basement." (Insert eye roll here.) As they go through it, each level has things that are deigned just for that person to see. Could it have been better? Yea. I wish I had seen more of Brain Kraus (Leo from Charmed). However I really liked this one because it's a nice slow burning movie that will leave you with the creeps even after it's over and make you think twice before driving out to the middle of nowhere for that really creepy haunted house next Halloween!!!

Could have been..but no.Its like watching a movie in slow motion. Nobody is communicating and they just wonder silently on their own. U can almost predict exactly what will happen. We tried to have a good time watching this. But I think Id rather stand an hour in the snow..naked. The actors have been made ridiculously stupid (i hope,or the just suck at acting). Couple of times it looked like something maybe could actually save the poor movie,,but just disappointment again. So please..make better use of your time. Because we already lost ours. Even if you wanna watch some "bad horror" movie just for fun..This will not cut it, Merry Christmas everyone.. Except the people who made this movie!!
