It has to be said, without shame, that I totally fell for this poster. I can not be the only one who looked at it and thought that there was a chance of seeing a twisted movie about some freakish child killer, who had been collecting folks and stringing them up in the woods of a small town. I just can't be. Please reassure me by hitting the yes button if this review ends up being helpful for you. I am not a snob when it comes to low budget horror. If you are a horror/thriller/mystery lover, you are all to aware that most movies that fall into this category struggle to get more than a 5 star IMDb rating. You are also aware that the struggle is due to independent viewer subjectivity. Simply put, some viewers want to see torture porn, while others prefer the slow burn. Another way of explaining this subjectivity could be broken down into horror subgenres. There are ghost, demonic possession, serial killers, creepy kids, dolls, clowns, monsters, the list just goes on and on. Someone who thought they were going to get a monster movie, with an awesome creature ends up seeing a ghost movie, they are going to give the movie a less than pleased review because they didn't get what they were expecting or wanting resulting in the low score we see and this is due to the way the movies are marketed. This poster is an example of that. There was a treehouse and yes, there were folks killed but I don't feel as though I got the movie that was marketed by this poster. As a fan of this genre though, I know that sometimes you just have to be willing to take the good with the bad and this is just one of those bad movies. The acting was low budget acting that had a few moments here and there. The atmosphere was tense in a few spots but the story, I felt, was all over the place and left so much to be desired that when the movie stopped, I simply sat there looking at the screen for a few minutes. The ending was so bad. It was a disaster of overacted attempts to twist the film in a few different ways that failed miserably. i will not be suggesting this movie to anyone but if I were still a teenager, I would order this poster, cut the word "Treehouse" from the bottom and hang it on my wall. It is just a cool poster and I wish I could've got movie that did it justice.

Or was it tree? Apart from word-plays and jokes that might or might not be funny, the movie has a lot of issues. One being its lead actor (some might argue that calling him that is a stretch, but think about Steven Seagal). There are not many emotions on display, especially if you try to find some on his face.On the other hand you have many of the downfalls of horror movies and the clichés involved. It may not be the most original story but it would have done the trick, if it were better executed and had a better script. I did mention the "acting" on display or the missing of it to be more exact. There are a few nice moments, but too few and far in between ...

You spend the whole expecting to see these creatures, or whatever they are and then BOOM: anti-climax. Also, not entirely sure why the movie is called Treehouse as it plays little to no part really. It had some pretty promising moments, and the acting by the 2 main characters actually wasn't all that bad. Unfortunately, none of this could save this movie. Not even close to the worst movie I've watched in this genre, but I certainly won't be recommending this to anybody.And the ending ... REALLY?!For more of my ramblings: http://rateddg.blogspot.co.uk/

Treehouse starts well and the opening scene suggests this may be a small budget gem however any hope of this is quickly extinguished. The premise is decent, young adults and children are being kidnapped and it all seems linked to a strange tree house. Unfortunately a very poor script never even gets close to tapping the films potential. There are plenty of superfluous scenes that add little or nothing to the story. Treehouse changes direction at the drop of the hat as if the writer didn't quite know what he wanted the film to be, slasher, supernatural or gritty thriller. As a result we just get a jumbled mess of a film that is at times confusing and at times boring.Although it's a pretty poor film, it's not a total write off as there are at least a couple of decent scenes and some of the filming is quite good. I can't really recommend this film and am probably being a bit generous giving it a 5 but I have seen far worse films.
