Recap:
Since he no longer produces movies, Lloyd Kaufman is a real estate agent now, and he tries to sell the Horror House to you by telling five stories that have happened there. Of course, being a former movie producer does not automatically qualify you for a movie cast, but I did like his performance. It may well be that they were very careful about not asking too much of him, but I still say that he’s the highlight of the movie. And when I say that Kaufman is the highlight of a movie, maybe you get a hunch that this one is not so super special.
Each of the five stories starts either more or less interesting, some build up a bit of suspense and some don’t, but none of them really convinces in the end. By the way: the most predictable of the endings includes a practical effect that was quite decent. And that’s about it. No violence, no gore, no nudity and few special effects. Of course a movie can be great without all of these, but this one isn’t. Not that it’s bad, it’s just the most average movie I can think of right now. No, wait, that’s not strong enough. Let me try this: it’s the averagest movie ever. Or how about this one: this is the Mount Average of movies. imdb
