The Houses October Built

Never transcends a predictable narrative trajectory to deliver much in the way of creepy atmosphere, let alone actual scares.

"The Houses October Built" proves one of the more successful attempts at the found-footage horror flick since "Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones."

If you're relatively easily scared or are in a theater full of people who are, the film might be good for a few screams. But only if you're the patient sort.

The scary Halloween house at your local amusement park is child's play compared to the "extreme haunts" that fill this uneven but intriguing found-footage horror flick.

[The Houses October Built was very creepy and unsettling...you should [see it] especially if you are interested in the haunt industry.

The Houses October Built is an entirely worthy Halloween film and it may legitimately make some folks think twice about off-the-map horror excursions.

In my opinion, this film did not get as much credit as it deserved. While the ending was a bit lackluster, the overall storyline was very interesting and creepy.

What sets this film appart from other found footage movies is the fact that it tries to be a documentary at times, adding more credibility to what we see on screen. [Full review in Spanish]

This is a somewhat tiresome found-footage excursion admirable in how it came together, and disappointing that it couldn't have added up to more than it ultimately does.

Tis the season, kids, and this is a great Halloween-time tale of absolute terror. Revel in it!
