Have you seen Martyrs (2008) by Pascal Laugier, because you definitely should, but also because he directed this film too. The Orphanage (2007) obviously took a few cues from here.I'm only writing this review to save people time.If you enjoy Pascal Laugier/Guillermo del Toro type movies then you have every reason to check this one out.Wikipedia also says something I find very interesting about Laugier. Apparently he "was set to direct the remake of Hellraiser but was later taken off the project due to creative differences with the producers; Laugier wanted his film to be very serious and explore gay S&M culture, whereas the producers wanted the film to be more commercial and appeal to a teen audience." Wow, too bad, that would have been brilliant. Instead, they chose to make a Hellraiser for kids who enjoy watching the VMAs. Lol

I understand why some people decided to give this movie a low rating, but I do not believe this movie deserves a low rating. If you were looking for a "horror" film in the slasher, in-your-face, gory, bloody sense, then I can see how you were disappointed. But if that is your only definition of a scary movie, I don't think you should be reviewing movies. This movie had many good qualities, and I believe many people could enjoy it if they gave it a chance. Foreign horror movies have a very different approach, and if you can get on board with that, I think you will like this. If Saw IV is your idea of quality horror, don't bother.

I never heard anyone speak about "House of Voices" before. I never heard any reviews and had absolutely no idea as to what this movie was about. All I knew about the film was that it was "ghostly." I watched,I listened,and wondered where the movie was trying to carry the audience. The pace of the film allowed me to position myself in the characters shoes.I could only imagine the sadness and pain that this character had to deal with. My imagination grew eerie,gloomy,and sad,(magnified by the location, score, and color scheme of the film). As this film slowly moved on,the film began taking me from my existence to places I couldn't have dreamed of.By the end of the film I felt cold,confused,and sad.This film did a lot for me emotionally. As an intellect, this film gave me a natural high, jerked my mind around a bit,this film was disturbing, I can't explain why I like this film so much!I gave this film a 10!

This could have been a good movie. If a good actress was chosen for the main part and if the story was more tied. Ledoyen's acting is so insecure, so weak, almost everything she does makes clear that she is looking for a way to fill the part. But too late, the work has been done as one starts watching the movie. The story takes place in a summer, but what in fact is taken place? I did not find the clue, or it is a weak one I have to set my mind upon. Of course, the bad acting of Viginie Ledoyen is partly due to herself, so what the hell did the director during the time her scenes were shot? It is the man's job to direct, not to look how an actress is acting. The editor could have done a good job by shortening the scenes, but did the contrary. However, the storytelling can be edited, not the story itself. About the rest of the film making I am positive. Well done, cameraman, hat off. The sound was good, the scenery in the end even amazing. But too late, a good end does not make a good story. One may wonder if there is one.
