 House - As cheesy as they come


Whether you like `House' will depend on how much you like cheesy films. House is a `horror' film, only it's not that scary - it seems to be too busy messing around and generally being random to be completely scary. There are a few creepy moments, but what stands out are the collection of big rubbery monsters who invade the house one after the other.


House is about Roger Cobb, who is a divorced author who moves to his aunt's mansion after she dies to continue his writing. Once settled in, he gets more than he bargains for.


If you watched this in the eighties, you'll probably love it as it's just as much fun as it was then. However, if you're used to darker horror films (Mama, Insidious, The Ring) then you'll probably find this a bit tame and silly - and for a good reason - it is. But then that's what it's meant to be.


Put your `serious hat' on its peg, invite some mates round who all have an appreciation of cheesy cinema classics, break open the drinks and popcorn and have fun with this one, as it's the only way to enjoy it.


8/10 The Force is definitely strong with this one
