Synopsis

A schoolgirl travels with six of her classmates to her ailing aunt’s creaky, remote country home, where supernatural events occur almost immediately. They come face to face with evil spirits, bloodthirsty pianos, and a demonic housecat.

Our take

Defying synopsis, categories, and rational explanation, the ghoulishly absurd & completely off-the-wall House has emerged on western shores as a horror classic of the new cult canon, like the funniest nightmare you’ve ever had. It’s worth doing right: turn out the lights and watch it at midnight!
