A Film So Bad That It's Almost Good ...
23 April 2008
... I did say " almost " DEMON HOUSE as it's known in the UK is one of those horror movies made in the 1990s which uses every single cliché that caused the slow extinction of 1980s horror movies . It starts off with some horny teenagers in a van saying lots of clever things like " I bet your mother ... " and coming close to killing one another . One can't help asking if they despise one another so much then why are they hanging out together ? The answer is simple:this is a horror movie so all logic goes flying out the window

Even so this film is much dumber than most horror movies you will see . For example the story is set up via a shoot out so the teenagers have to go on the run because they think they've killed a cop . That's bad enough but they haven't killed anyone and for reasons that defy any logic a detective decides he'll hunt the kids down because he doesn't want the uniformed cops taking the law into their own hands . Hmmm yeah I'm sure every police detective in the world thinks along the same lines

Meanwhile the horny teenagers hide out in a house that is possessed by a demon . Not so much a demon , more of a MILF . I'm sure if you're a horny male teenager then you'd be unable to keep your eyes in when you see a really hot brunette in her thirties wearing very little , but strangely most of the boys don't seem to notice . Intestingly everyone wanders around alone for no good reason so you don't need me to tell you what happens next and you'll be asking yourself why the protagonists didn't do such and such a thing . The answer is very obvious: this is a horror movie and not a very good one either
