House (1985)
3/10
Had the potential to be better.

This is indeed a very weird film, but not (entirely) bad. This horror comedy is more of a comedy with horror elements than a horror with comedic elements. I enjoyed William Katt in this movie, and the setting in the mansion.

William Katt was good as the writer fighting his inner demons, and in this instance some real demons as well. George Wendt was very likable as the nosy, suspicious neighbor. The film was entertaining up to the point where Roger Cobb (Katt)'s ex-wife Tanya showed up. From there the story became preposterous and a lot of time was spent on moments not moving the story forward. Some of the effects look really cheap. The film is just not believable enough (never mind the supernatural theme), no thanks to all the silly humor...
