Christina's House Reviews
Flawed... but Worth a Look
"Christina's House" is an old fashioned killer on the loose movie. It's set in a small town and avoids trying to be a hip "Scream" style slasher film.
Christina, her dad, and younger brother live in a creepy old house. Apparently someone else is secretly living there as well, killing anyone it can and disposing of the bodies before they can be discovered. Pretty creepy stuff, as anyone who's ever lived in a spooky old house themselves can attest.
The film moves along rather slowly, taking it's time to build suspense. The cast is above average as well.
Aside from a few loose ends, this is a relatively solid chiller. It's a nice change of pace from the high tech, fast paced horror films that look great, but are devoid of any real scares. "Christina's House" reminds us why we liked horror films in the first place.
Worth watching... once... when you're bored.
This movie was not as bad as some reviews claim. I picked it up as a rental because I wanted a simple thriller type movie to lose myself in for an hour and a half. To be mildly entertained... I got just that. Nothing deep or great. The characters were a bit cliche and the ending was pretty cheesy. But that's the point, eh? Miss Lange was cute and managed the distressed horror-film-female role, but I also liked that she had a tough personality. Instead of running and screaming (then falling and looking back like they always do), she faced her fears- throughout the movie. I also thought the mother character was pretty neat, her scenes made the movie interesting. And of course, the ending left it open for a sequal. Of course.
