Dark House (2008)

Click, Light… Inhale and Pufffff…

This straight to DVD movie needs some attention because we never expected it to be actually entertaining. If you haven’t heard of this Darin Scott directed horror flick, don’t blame yourself; we didn’t. Well casted, the only recognizable talents would be Jeffrey Combs and Matt Cohen (Young John Winchester from TV’s Supernatural) fitting their roles. Here goes.


Claire, played Meghan Ory is an actress with a dream but was traumatized as a child being witness to a children filled massacre in an orphanage. It screwed her up so bad that her shrink tells her to face her fears. But as fate would have it, her acting buddies and her are invited to join the cast of a brand new horror attraction owned by millionaire and self proclaimed horror master Malston, named ‘Dark House’. The location is ironically where Claire was traumatized. Filled with holographs of evil stuff, things take a turn for the worst when the body count rises and the evil nanny/religious nut-job Mrs Darrode’s ghost does what she does best.


The flick does have ‘The House on Haunted Hill’ written all of it but the originality in script and scare does make this one watchable. Wholesome family entertainment but the ending can come as a bit surprising for those who don’t like the guessing game. So, add this in your collection and it will brighten up your day; or night.
