Man, I hate the `House'-series (and yet, I've seen all four of them
go figure!). This franchise never really could decide whether it wanted to bring horror
or comedy. This fourth entry isn't an exception on that. For one thing, this film introduce us to a family dramatically torn apart by a terrible car-accident and for another, it adds absurd elements like bloodthirsty pizza's (!), dogs with lampshades attached to their head and comic-book style villains. What's the deal? Are we supposed to be scared or bring out the beer and laugh? The plot is dreadfully lame involves ghost-house, build on a spiritual Indian ground
Oh, how original. Yet, if these were the only problems House 4 suffered from, it would still be more or less reasonable. The biggest letdown lies in the entirely illogical structure. I don't know if this ever occurred to cast and crew but
their story doesn't make sense at all! By the way
SPOILERS will follow here, in case you care. At first, the `spirits' of the house seem to turn against Kelly and almost even force her to kill her daughter, while suddenly and for unexplained reasons, these exact same spirits start helping her in fighting the bad guys. Did the miserable, two-minute séance cause this? If so, I must say that is very, very poor! Dreadful film
dreadful series
avoid them all!
