Rish Outfield's reviews
We know Steve Miner is a good director (disregarding Friday the 13th Part 3: 3D, of course), and this is proof. House is a clever, spooky, funny, timeless, and above all, FUN horror movie. It was a great early influence on me, as a bunch of us lads rented it when my parents were away. We screamed unabashedly when the fat ghost first reared her ugly head, and found ourselves laughing at the same moment. Richard Moll should've made it bigger, and do we ever truly appreciate George Wendt? Plus, William Katt kicks ass! He really is a great American hero. Honestly funny and entertainingly scary, House is a true pleasure for kids, old or young.
Best Scare: The aforementioned 'fat ghost.'
I'd Recommend It To: Horror fans, both serious and casual.

The tyranist's thoughts
House was fun to watch. It was similar to most haunted house films, but different in its delivery. It held the same plot elements we see all of the time like the house has killed or captured one of the family and it actively tries to expel its residents. At the same time the elements are delivered with a kind of insane glee. There were moments when I truly jumped and others where I laughed. Most of all I just sat there enjoying the specialized little world that was the House.
