tesswysko Without being given any real back ground motivation, we are introduced to 2 step - sisters, who obviously don't get along. One, the pretty princess is rebelling and trying to sneak out to a party, and when caught, her father forces her to take her equally beautiful but understated step sister, who the princess resents, and uses every excuse to belittle her clothes, makeup, etc.- with her to the party. There we are introduced to the guy - and since her behavior warrants it, I'm just going to keep calling her princess - is interested in, Carter, and his best friend Zane who works at a special haunted house that has 9 areas dedicated to your fears and is all automated, and decorated with things from around the world. Zane is very interested in furthering things with a girl named Candice, so he suggests they all go to the Haunted House, aptly called House of Fears, which opens tomorrow. Candice says sure and brings her ex Devon! So, Carter recommends that Zane ask Hailey(princesses sister) and they all go. When they get there, Devon picks up a totem and asks what it is, when Zane sees what he did, he asks Devon how he got it, and when he finds out the crate was open, he realizes someone must have been in there, so he radios gouge the only other person who has access, the security guard, only to get no answer. So, they decide to leave well enough alone for then... soon enough that non answer will mean a whole lot more ... like when Zane doesn't come back from setting up the next scare, and they find him strung up and bleeding out dead... or how they finally fight their way back to the entrance, and the keys don't work... or how they find the guard in the mental ward area, bloody, bruised, and begging for help? One guarantee, tonight the sisters will learn tho depend on each other...

OX_Bigly I thought this was going to be a spooky clown film... Nope.The movie gave it's own best comment: "This is a house of lame". You can use this.. um... "film"? as a horror movie cliché check list.This thing was like a made for TV movie commissioned and then rejected by the CW network. It seems to me they over spent on this thing. I've seen films with a lower budget that where ten times better because of the story and plot. The general idea (freaky statue that actually makes your fears come to life and kill you) was good but could have been done way better. The film sets itself up for potential awesome (band name) but falls short on delivering.The only good I can see come from this film is if someone from Thatguywiththeglasses covers it.If Riftrax does this I would definitely be willing to sit through it again. Honestly I hope the makers of House of Fears either learn from the mistakes made here and go on to make much better films, or find a new line of work.I will give the film one good point: Towards the beginning one of the guys dresses up as a killer and jumps out at the others. One of the other guys punches him. That has to be in more horror films.In the end it's NOT a horror film and not even a suspense film. It should have been titled "Wasted Potential" that would have been more accurate.This is probably the only "horror" film more boring than The Blair Witch Project

eferhild2010 I couldn't even finish watching this movie. 10 minutes before the end I decided to quit wasting my time. The movie is poorly executed and badly acted. The scares if that's what you call them is not scary. The cut scenes for flash backs are OK but do nothing but supposedly ad value to the movie. There is absolutely no blood or gore in the movie and no nudity as well. Two redeeming factors of a budget horror movie that is denied to the viewer. Avoid at all costs even though it's on Netflix streaming in HD, hence the reason I even thought about watching at all. I expect a horror movie to be either or both scary/funny and include violence with hopefully nudity at least. This movie contains none of the above. I was not entertained at all and had to leave this movie even before it ended. I tried my best to enjoy it and I'm a horror fan for over 30 years. Please don't waste your time with this POS it's not worth it.

fedor8 "What are your fears?" I'm afraid of getting hit where it hurts most, I'm afraid of Alan Derschowitz defending serial-killers, I'm terrified of Obama getting re-elected, and I have justified fears that very soon Chavez will become the "voice of reason" in an increasingly retarded world. But my greatest fear is that the next 5000 horror films are all going to be about teenagers.What is it with those demons and monsters lately? What's with their recent obsession with killing teens? Why aren't we 30somethings worth slaughtering anymore? The set-up for this trite horror flick is about as unique as it gets: six teenagers enter a building (not a house) and get wiped off one by one. Nothing wrong with that... But if you're going to stretch this non-plot into 80 minutes, then you've got to provide us with more teenagers. Only four get killed, plus the guard, and that makes five. 80 minutes divided by 5 corpses = 16 minutes.That's only one killing per every 16 minutes! Far too little. What happens in those average 16 minutes, between killings? Nothing.Take "The Shining" (Kubrick's excellent version, of course, not Stephen King's recent abomination). That movie lasts 135 minutes and has only two deaths (one of them being in the very last scene). When you have a good story, a stellar cast, and a master-director, you can get away with a murder per 67.5 minutes, easily. In HOF you've got none of those necessary requirements.Hence: the number of deaths in a horror movie - necessary to keep the viewer interested - is inversely proportional to the quality of the director and the material. From this we draw the obvious conclusion that because HOF's director and his material are crap, we need far more dead teens. 50, perhaps...? 100?... Let's settle with 239, it's a nice round number. 239 teens enter the house and get slaughtered one by one. 239 divided by 80 = 2.98. Nearly THREE dead teens per minute! Now, that would make HOF far more watchable.This impressive, hypothetical death-rate wouldn't turn HOF into a classic, but it would make it so much more watchable. Plus, it would make us respect those rather incompetent HOF monsters a lot more: all they managed to achieve, the lazy slobs, was to kill 5 out of the 7 teens. Two GIRLS managed to run away from them. One of them never even held a weapon in her hand, and yet she managed to fight off a demon repeatedly.And then they want a sequel? Those monsters need to get in shape before they even begin to deserve another movie. I suggest a fitness program to improve their running and coordination, and heavier drugs to stimulate more aggression. Lumbering fools...Speaking of which... Do NOT miss the AMAZING extra-scene epilogue after the end-credits! It will scare you like a... like a... a pair of soft pink slippers.And of course the mobile phones don't work..."Hello, 911! We're trapped in a house of fears and already 3 people have died!" Well, 4 actually, Samantha.Filmed In Utah. I think they ought to stick to salty lakes, basketball, and silly religions...
