From a House on Willow Street
From a House on Willow Street
6/10 - Overall idea wasn't too bad, and picked up a bit at the end... but after the first 400 jump scares I was already sick of this one.
Re: From a House on Willow Street
Really enjoyed this one. The first movie I saw at the festival this year that gave me a big grin. Plenty of lovely gore.
Re: From a House on Willow Street
A really good concept - merged two horror tropes very well.
Enjoyable good fun.

An intriguing romp that lost its way a little in the last third after the big reveal. I felt the mystery of the first two acts were stronger and once we knew exactly what was going on it fell back into standard territory again. Still, I had plenty of fun with this one.
7.5 / 10

No tears, please. It's a waste of good suffering.
Re: From a House on Willow Street
Agree with all the above really. Liked the idea of the kidnappers biting off more than they can chew but once that had been revealed it didn't provide much more than a few jump scares. Also agree with Alex above on the demons somewhat inconsistent powers...

Re: From a House on Willow Street
Agree with what other people have said about the inconsistencies in powers etc. but the killer for me was all the endless wandering around doing nothing except being accosted by stupid zombie jump scares that ultimately meant nothing, when they knew exactly what they needed to do.
Particularly stupid were:
In hindsight after sitting through Blood Feast and Abattoir I probably would have been more forgiving if I'd seen this later in the festival, but that doesn't really make it any better.

Boring repetitive tripe. I'm sure they used the same effects shots more than once just to pad out the running time.
The cast and crew got on my nerves in the Q&A too. Oh, we thought it would be original to combine a crime drama (with no plot) with a horror movie (with no plot).... And they' should've had the balls to actually set it in South Africa, at least then something about it would've stood out.

OK, fairly effective if a bit repetitive and generic.
