WOW!!! what a fun ride HOUSE is, a perfect blend of Horror & Comedy. I grew up watching the Evil dead trilogy & hundreds of other creature features such as Critters & Ghoulies & Many Many more but never got to see any of the HOUSE movies until recently as i FINALLY found a cheap dvd on eBay on the first House (1985) & I've fallen in love with this gem of a fun Horror!!! Wish i got around to watching this when i was a kid it would have been one of my favourite movies!!! But hey it is now!!! Don't need to talk about all the plot & stuff as many already have so I'm just talling you all ENJOY this CLASSIC or at least i hope you do & this is coming from an old school Horror fan!!! Honestly 10/10 for amazing monster designs & real fun humour that works perfectly & a BRILLIANT performance from the main star WILLIAM KATT!!!! loved this film & gonna watch it many more times & again & again lol great fun

I absolutely adore this movie. I forgot how much this movie kicks ass. It has just the right amount of comedy mixed with the horror aspects. The FXs are awesome; they walk the line between being comical and creepy. William Katt is perfect in this. He nails the role and really gets you into the character. For me, this is one of those unheralded 80's gems, one that really doesn't get enough attention.There are some plot issues and a few things that will make you scratch your head, but because the movie is so enjoyable it's easy to forgive them. While House may not be perfect, it sure the hell is a lot of fun. If you've never seen it, I suggest you track it down and give it a watch. I'll be throwing on the sequel which I have never watched in the very near future.My Rating: 6.5/10

I am glad to see this got a good ratting. 6.2 is good. But still this such great movie the 6.2 is underrating it. This a 10. It has great acting. It also has great special effects. It also has a great story line. It is very scary. It is scarier then The Exorcist. And that is not easy to do. Carrie is a great movie but it is not William Katt's best movie. This is. This is Steve Miner's best film to. Share some of the more popular films like Halloween H2O or Friday the 13th II or Friday the 13th III or Lake Placid were good movies. But this is better. This is one of the scariest movies of all time. If you like good horror movies see this movie.

House is such a rare and fun movie, I'm glad I caught at the cinema, when I was 15. It's hard to pass this off as a serious and scary movie, where it leads more towards humor, yet it's still an engrossing tale of a troubled writer, who's Grandma (who we've seen in bit parts in many other films) suicides. He moves into his Grandma's two story place, to start on a new novel about yeah.... his experiences in Vietnam. Some funny flashbacks, here I tell ya, more like done in a studio. William Katt as the novelist is ideal, who thinks he's going crazy? Is it him, or this house possessed? That's the fun of the entire movie, where we have a few bit performances from actors I like, like Alan Autry and Steven Williams as cops. George Wendt as Katt's prying neighbor was fun too. If you want a few scares, more childish ones, and be humored, House is for you. It's one, if for morbid fascination, one of a kind horror movie, original, with inventive scenes, and in it's right, one hell of a thriller, all the way through, where we have to await the verdict of Katt's sanity. Well worth a look, especially if after something different, just don't really expect this one to give the creeps, more scary of course, on it's first view.
