Review – The Houses October Built

I’ve gone back, scoured the plot summaries and reviews, and I can’t for the life of me figure out why I wanted to rent this. The premise – backwoods haunted house attractions are part of a meta-conspiracy of evil – might have held some small measure of promise. But the found footage format, amateur hour acting, wretched script, uneven pace and pointless violence lay waste to any chance this juvenile production might have had to not suck. The hour and a half of my life stolen by this garbage was paid for with only one benefit: I have now firmly resolved never again to watch anything that even looks like it might have an evil clown in it. As I believe this will make me a happier, healthier person, I will doubtless look back upon this movie with gratitude for finally prompting me to take a step I should have taken years ago. Wish I’d skipped it
