Brandon's Cult Movie Reviews: HOUSE

[@TheBrandonTenold]

Which entry in the "House" series is your favorite?

[@rovertedoog]

House is good. House 2 is okay. House 3 is bad. House 4 is bad.

[@mrmysterious8124]

Can you look at a Killer Snake Movie Call King Cobra 👑🐍

[@mrmysterious8124]

Can you look at Godzilla Planet of the Monsters????????

[@RoseWaltz]

i really like the first two, the third was meh, and i didnt know about the fourth, but now i want to see it my favorite part is when he breaks the mirror and its a gateway i had nightmares about the closet monster for ages as a kid!

[@anubis8181]

House 2 if that's the one with the crystal skull.

[@juliet116]

His aunt said "The house knows everything about you.." She was probably haunted by her own ghosts while in the house. Rodger was haunted by his.

[@aaronb2334]

I don't think that even was his aunt. I think it was the house feeding his fear

[@jeremiahthepisces5493]

no that was his aunt...trying to warn him

[@trikkerman1]

The prequel comes out tomorrow.

[@muthesquirrel]

People never seem to get this, but Ben was never haunting the house. The house itself creates the ghosts based around the fears and traumas of the occupants to drive them to suicide.

[@jerryhensley6255]

[@sirtalkalotdoolittle]

That's cool if true and if you're not a stalker. I think any human being would be grateful to hear that their work had an impact on other people.

[@Enshohma]

This was my first real time watching HOUSE as I was doing research for Brandon's title card and had a blast with it. I am not a huge horror movie fan and, as such, I tend to favor the more offbeat entries into the genre especially horror comedies that fully embrace the more fantastical elements of their stories. On that note, HOUSE felt like a slightly meaner and nastier story that could take place within THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS universe except it's one far away from New York and where no hero from a paranormal investigation and elimination service is coming to help you. Plus, Riichard Moll is in this movie! Any movie with Richard Moll is made instantly better simply by having Richard Moll in it! A fact Brandon seems to agree with considering the fitting zoom out from Big Ben's dog tag at the 0:24 mark.

[@sirtalkalotdoolittle]

Love your work. It's clear you put a lot of thought into it.

[@wdj2131]

Love your artwork, awesome aesthetic!

[@TheSarge1911]

now you have to do House 2. that little caterpillar dog was adorable

[@anjinash]

This and House II were childhood staples of mine. I really loved the more fantastical elements this flick played with. It felt more like a horror-themed D&D setting than a true horror movie. I feel similar about The Gate. All great entry-level horror for the younger crowd! Pity the series went to shit after Second Story.

[@ShadowWingTronix]

No, but one of the cops from the In The Heat Of The Night TV show is one of the cops here. I wonder if this is one of Bubba's early police assignments, and that makes this series canon with that show? Is a joke I'll just assume Brandon didn't think of making. (Probably with good reason.)

[@jcope3886]

Actually, when House (medical) was first announced, I thought it was going to be Hugh Laurie living in this house.

[@HiperPivociarz]

That ghost is not really Ben. It's just the manifestation of Roger's guilt. The house made it.

[@PictureProductStudio]

That's... A bit of a revelation. It makes infinitely more sense. I guess framing of the story is just that you near automatically assume that Ben is actually the reason of the disturbance.

[@notsyzagts7967]

@@PictureProductStudio How is it a revelation? The early scenes with his mother make it pretty clear that each haunting is personalized for each occupant.

[@yurilouback6331]

Watching the movie as a kid a was also confused, thinking Ben was the one behind it all. Watching it as an adult it's pretty obvious how it's the house that messes with people using their fears. Roger's aunt even said it

[@trickq5883]

What about the gardening tools? They came to life and tried to kill him and almost did and that witch disguised as his wife nearly got him with his own shotgun. The different portals in the house also lead to places where he was almost killed. The only thing in the house that seemed incapable of killing or harming Roger was that ghost that seemed to be Ben.

[@HiperPivociarz]

@@trickq5883 No, no, the supernatural is real in the movie, but the ghost isn't Ben, just like the wife wasn't really the wife. It's the house's creation.

I also remember the ending being well done too. But even though my memory of the film is far from perfect (I completely forgot the Vietnam stuff or the scene with the kid), I remember liking it for being one of the few horror films where the hero has some common sense, and I like that the film didn't cheap out by having the monsters not appear whenever there was witnesses around.

Fine movie and all, but that voice for the lady ghost just had me dying instead of hiding

[@cdrom1070]

this is one of my favorite movies, I love the montage set to 'you're no good'. I got so excited by this movie, its like Jacobs Ladder. I think he is withdrawing from Valium (its prescribed as a PTSD drug) in the movie and its making him hallucinate.

[@daocvet]

I actually really enjoyed this movie when it came out. When I was a kid I liked horror movies like Nightmare on Elm St, Friday the 13th, some of their sequels(not all), and Hellraiser. But I stopped caring about the horror genre, and just stopped caring for them almost entirely. House was always just good fun though, it didn't take itself too super serious. Even though I didn't think about it when it came out, I would describe this movie as like a horror movie for kids. I mean there really isn't anything in there that is 'scary' with maybe the occasional jump scare. But what is weird about the movie, is that it tries to go down the spooky horror flick route early on, then at some point it just turns into a pseudo comedy, and even though it tries to go back into the 'scary' category it never does. It is in a weird spot, I wouldn't call it a horror movie, and I wouldn't call it a comedy, I honestly wouldn't know what to call it to be honest, never really remember anything like it, but I enjoy the movie and think its a good watch, especially if you are a person that really isn't into horror but still like sorta scary stuff. The only thing I can think of that comes close is Army of Darkness, but that movie is on a whole other level lol.

[@Enshohma]

I personally see this film as more of a fantasy adventure farce that happens to be a horror movie like Army of Darkness. This was one of the reasons I dug the Hell out of it when watching the film for research. Good comment overall.

Kane Hodder, who was the stunt coordinator for the film, is known to horror fans as the one who played icon Jason Voorhees more than anyone else, four films total. Director Steve Miner also directed Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981). Sean S. Cunningham, the producer, produced the Friday the 13th movies, and Harry Manfredini wrote the music for this and the Friday the 13th movies. Aunt Elizabeth, played by Susan French in the movie, is referred to as Mrs. Hooper. A possible nod to horror icon Tobe Hooper. This film features Steve Susskind of Friday The 13th Part III, and Ronn Carroll of the original Friday The 13th. The movie's poster featured a disembodied hand ringing the doorbell. This does not occur in the film. Harry Manfredini did the music for Friday the 13th. You can hear similarities in the music cues of both movies. Sean Cunningham and Steve Miner are both associated with Friday the 13th series, Steve Miner would also direct Friday the 13th part 2, Friday the 13th part 3, and Halloween H2O. Steve Miner couldn't get producers to take him all that seriously after his work on the first three Friday the 13th films, but they were pleasantly surprised that this movie turned out to be comedic. Young Robert is played by Steve Miner's son. He spent the next decade being recognized on occasion out in the real world.

I also liked how quickly the main character accepted what was happening and quickly got into solving the problems. He started the movie not believing in ghosts and in no time he got right into shooting them with shotguns and burying them in his backyard.

I want to see the Japanese one!

[@ConsoleCleric]

I love this movie! Saw it as a kid and tanked the whole thing, even though it scared the hell out of me.

[@raymondhall8691]

No mention of Creighton Duke playing a cop? Also if him and his kid lived there and the kid is basically the same age, shouldn't Harold have known him?

[@pl180000]

Or Alan Autry(Bubba Skinner on In The Heat Of The Night tv series) playing the other cop.

Maybe Harold only moved in recently.

I grew up in the 80's so I love this film...ahhhh nostalgia 😁

[@SoullessAIMusic]

if you havent seen the Japanese movie house, its a must watch and is absolutely freaking INSANE.

Glad I'm not the only that noticed the Power Rangers reference lol

I honestly didn't see the Rito Revoto similarities until Brandon pointed it out within the video itself! And I drew the damn thing!

[@Getwright-]

@@Enshohma the first thing i thought of when i saw him as a kid, was that he was supposed to be the guy from house. (But im a big fan of this movie)

[@centrifugalmuse]

Saw this movie ENTIRELY too young lol it scared the crap out of me.

[@kingsasuke86]

After meeting Rodger the cop from 10:00 went on to tell people how to kill Jason just a few years later 😁

[@hakeswillobidiah920]

This was an awesome and entertaining review Brandon. Keep the good stuff coming!

[@joshua2814]

"House 2" is goofier and it is PG-13. Still fun, though.

[@jcb0249]

I had no idea "The horror show" was a house sequel...Kind of. But always did wonder why they jumped from 2-4 in the series. Good video duder!

[@tawny1276]

I love your videos keep it up!!

[@king_eternal]

When I was like 5 or 6 years old our spare tv was only good for watching VHS. I watched this movie and the movie Dolls over and over again when the main tv was being used by grown-ups.

[@king_eternal]

this is when movies had legit bangers as soundtracks instead of pop music. The effects were practical. Seeing these as a kid set my standards pretty high. No wonder the overuse of weak CGI and LOUD music has no effect as an adult.

[@gametheorymedia]

Even if they were suggestions from viewers (as opposed to your own initial choices), MAJOR points to you, for two of your videos I've recently watched---Phantasm, and now this. Both 'rough gems' from a bygone era, both rather underrated in their own way to this very day (and both still surprisingly underrepresented, at least in the KZbin/retrospective arena). Suggestion: For a rather higher higher-tier subject--ever considered a review of Angel Heart?

[@katttmandoo]

My family had this on VHS. Born in 84, I watched this when I was about 5/6 yrs old. Maybe even my first “scary” movie. I have formative memories of this movie. The fact that Barbra Hale’s (Perry Mason’s secretary) son is the main character is a bonus I only realized as an adult.
