Watch Christina's House For Free

Such a frustrating disappointment

Memorable, crazy movie

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

So I just watched this turkey. Wow. Okay, so the beginning five seconds start a bit creepy but then when the little girl scout gets attacked, its filmed and acted so badly its funny. Then the film just goes down hill. Bad acting and writing. I will say it did keep my attention to find out who the killer was, but in the end it was predictable. The final scene holds some suspense but mostly is handled very clumsy with characters making illogical choices. Such as the killer just standing in the attic playing with his fingers while Christina is telling her brother to hide in the basement. I don't know. Some parts where good and the ending is descent. I thought it was pretty cool how the mother possessed Howie to kill the family and she was doing it to some other guy at the end. Anyway, an odd mess, even though entertaining, its just Bad...4/10

Soon forgotten toned down Slasher flick starring Allison Lange. The movie is at the first half a whodunnit Slasher but it keeps giving the audience hints about who could be the killer. First, the jealous insecure boyfriend has some weird attitudes and even attacks Howie for no reason. Then, the father who is a pervert and looks at his daughter as a sexual object performs some actions that could make you think he's a loony. Then, we have Howie. The "pretty" boy who fixes the house but he really isn't a "normal" boy.If you haven't watched the movie give it a try; it's not as bad as people say but it's not a good movie by any means. The plot is kind of interesting but predictable. Almost all the death scenes are off-screen you can discard gore in this one.Overall this is the kind of movie to watch while you are doing "anything" else. For example, if you are chatting or talking over the phone with someone boring, , "Christina's House" may be the perfect option. Allison Lange is really beautiful and can act. She should appear in more important movies.

Christina and her father and brother have just moved into an old rundown house where things go bump in the night, especially in the attic. Strange occurrences start happening like her diary disappearing, objects and furniture being moved around the house with messages of warnings, a dead body turning up and shady characters, but no one else seems to notice and she thinks that she is losing her mind. What makes matters worse was that her mum is in a mental asylum as she has basically lost her mind, so is Christina following in the same footsteps of her mum or is there more to it than some people are letting on? Not bad for a straight to video you ask? Ah, actually hold on. No really this is a below par film which borrows elements from every other horror film especially in the wake of "Scream", but it amazedly held my attention. I don't why but maybe it was the beautiful presence of Allison Lange as Christina… yep that was it was. Oh, surprisingly glossy production valves with some inventive camera angles and well-designed sets can't surpass a shamble of a story and script. The rag of a script is the usual dribble. While, the context of the film probably would've been better suited as an X-files episode. Anyhow, over-strained melodrama with horror elements (or clichés) comes to mind. Throw in red herrings, the usual teen antics, suspicious characters, investigating unusual happenings and a (laughable) twist and there you go. Even irrelevant sequences pop up that it could've done without and pacing was rather stodgy in parts. Oops I almost forgot, logic is pretty much thrown out the window, especially when it falls badly at the finale hurdle… the ludicrous revelation that turns into a trashy showdown that went on for too long. During this stage there was an overload of extremely bad puns and an unbelievably pitiful performance. Was there tension provided, no it's basically cheap thrills and cop-outs with a non-existed atmosphere, but a pulsating score was fair if sometimes out of place in certain scenes. Where's the splatter and fun you say, well you'll be disappointed as the deaths are too mundane and have little blood. Performances from John Savage, Brendan Fehr and Allison Lange were actually fair, well they didn't blow me away but for a film like this they were mostly reasonable with exception of one or two. These characters were the standard mould with the girl who's not ready to go all the way with her boyfriend and maybe going crazy, annoying brother, controlling father who seems to want his daughter for himself, snooping sheriff, sex-crazed boyfriend and quiet handyman. When it came to the ending, well not just some ordinary finale but a supposedly deeper ending it just didn't go down too well with me as it felt rather tact on.For what its worth it's a dud of a knockoff, but one that had enough elements to keep me entertained. But the ending or finale climax is where it went totally downhill and I couldn't give it more than a 3.

I don't write comments on most the movies since most of the comments from other users have justified the movie. But this one, most people just assumed that this is another "wannabe" horror flick (and at the time of this writing, users have given this movie average weight of around 3). In reality, it is far from it. I would say, it is above average.The movie is a little slow. All I can say without spoiling is that, the real twist is in the end. Trust me.There are no "big" actors in this movie and that doesn't make this movie a b-flick.8/10
