Comments on: House http://www.moviezeal.com/house/ The official podcast of MovieZeal.com, where film is always best discussed under the gentle influence of fine wine (as fine as $10 will get you). Each week Evan, Heather, and Luke pick a theme, discuss a theatrical release based on that theme, pop the cork and drink a wine that fits said theme, and finally subject one another to The Gauntlet, where forcing others to watch painful films nets you fabulous prizes. There is not anything else on the internets like it (literally).

Kind of strange since I'm relatively familiar with most of Craven's work. Then again, it came out in 1991, when I was six years old and thus unable to get into R-rated movies. :) I read the summary on ol' Wikipedia, though, and I can see a few similarities, although this one is definitely a bit more surreal. <i>House</i> probably owes a bit more to torture porn and slasher movies (although the violence is much more subtle here than it is in either of those genres).

I had similar feelings for Frank Darabont's THE MIST, which got trashed by more than a few people. Granted I haven't seen THE HOUSE, but your review certainly suggests that a single DVD viewing wouldn't be so bad. The film somewhat reminds me of Wes Craven's THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS. Did you see any similarities there? I like that Christian film 'dicotemy.' Heh, a guilty pleasue at the very least, there's nothing wrong with that. Beautifully structured review.
