A woman works for a real estate company and takes a business trip to check out some locations in Jerome, Arizona. Jerome just happens to be America’s biggest ghost town. And the enormous old house she rented is haunted. That is the set-up for the movie. We also learn at some point that the house doesn’t want to let her leave, well except for the first few times she enters the house - then it seems to be perfectly fine. Why did the haunted house change it’s mind ? I have no idea. Did I consider going back to rewatch part of the movie to see if I missed something ? No. Do you go to the dentist for fun ? The only thing holding this movie back from awards is bad acting, a weak script with holes, a lack of scary scenes (there are some nice scary mirror scenes), and a bad ending. The poster is cool. So there’s that.
So, the house, when it finally traps our main character inside turns into a maze. Sadly, that just isn’t enough to save this movie. If you want to check out similar the house is a maze movies I suggest The Night House, Relic, Thir13een Ghosts, You Should Have Left or Grave Encounters if your prefer an asylum to a house.
I give it a 4.3/10.
