House of Shadows

One of the few times when writing a review that I wish it was possible to award a negative star rating! The script appears to have evolved from a hastily scrawled script on the back of a cereal packet. If anthing can be taken away from watching this, it's the lesson in how not to make a film. Really cannot think of a single redeeming feature for this one.

At the beginning the girl inherited a house. She tells the lawyer she doesn't know anything about it. About 20 minutes into movie she tells her boyfriend about how her sister used to go to the house. What was the point of her hand turning black? The movie doesn't make sense at all. I watched the whole thing waiting for it to get better. It didn't!

Who on earth keeps funding this writer/director's films, he's atrocious. Film, after film, after film, of complete garbage, an embarrassment to the British film industry - even Danny Dyers' worst films are blockbusters compared to a Nicholas Winter film.

I won't go into how bad this was, as all the other reviews cover it. I will say that you never do understand what is going on with this house. On Amazon the movie is called house of shadows, but at the end credits they call it something like "the house that time forgot." I guess everyone involved in those production forgot what they were doing because nothing was cohesive. It definitely leaves you wondering what it was you actually just watched. And can someone fix the volume please?! The music overpowers the actors speaking the entire time. The male especially mumbled all his lines. But instead of straining to hear him, I just tuned him out completely as he added nothing to story, whatever it was.
