Description

What if you lost everything? Where would you go? What would you do? Joe, a young architecture student, is forced to drop out of school after his parents die in a car accident, leaving only unpaid bills behind. Scrambling around trying to find a job, and a way to get his studies and life on track, he ends up on the edge of homeless, until he connects with a colorful bunch of characters squatting in a boarded up old house, where they "borrow" electricity. Each day in the house is an adventure in character, the good, the bad, the comedic, the heavy, and the chaos and insanity of life at the bottom of the barrel.

    **_Amusing 80’s haunted house flick with William Katt and George Wendt_** When his aunt suddenly dies, a grieving horror writer and Vietnam vet (Katt) moves into her manor wherein he experience strange and frightening things. What’s going on? Wendt plays his neighbor, Kay Lenz his ex-wife and Richard Moll a soldier pal in Vietnam. "House" (1985) takes the done-to-death haunted house genre and adds creativity and humor along with the expected frights. It’s an entertaining horror/comedy where everything ‘clicks,’ mixing elements of “Poltergeist” (1982), “Basket Case” (1982) and “Ghostbusters” (1984). The Vietnam sequences are odd for the genre, but the pieces of the puzzle fit by the last act. Mary Stavin (Tanya) stands out on the feminine front with a couple quality scenes. The film runs 1 hour, 33 minutes, and was shot in Monrovia, California (house exteriors), which is just northeast of Los Angeles, as well as Doheny Mansion at Mount St. Mary's College in Los Angeles (interiors). GRADE: B
