Housebound


2014 horror-comedy

Rating: 11/20

Plot: A young woman is put under house arrest in the home of her mom and step-father, the former who is convinced that the house is haunted. Kylie starts to believe it might be herself and tries to solve the mystery of what's behind some of the strange occurrences at what has to be her home for eight months.

I'm actually a little impressed that this was actually so watchable despite being riddled with so many horror movie cliches and not making much sense at all. It didn't succeed as a horror movie until the revelation with the first of what seemed like about 18 different twists, and it never really worked as a comedy either. It's trying very, very hard with both of those though. I really didn't like the main character enough for this movie to overcome its flaws.
