The Haunted House Project (2010)

I am a huge fan of Asian horror, as well as an avid watcher of found-footage horror. I've seen a lot of terrible movies in both genres, so I can safely say that this was not the worst.However, this was far from a good movie.Its main problem was the pacing. It was boring, and disorienting in an uncomfortable (read: awkward) way. After over an hour of some bad actors trudging through a dilapidated building, I was feeling hopeless. I nearly turned it off had it not been for a few prime scare scenes, which were actually half decent.The real saving grace, though, was the atmosphere. The dark corners and moldy walls build a kind of suspense, and this may be because the building in which the action takes place is quite literally falling apart. I seriously hope the film crew got some tetanus shots before making this movie.All in all, I wouldn't recommend it. The ending didn't make sense, the plot fell to pieces after ten minutes, and it just wasn't worth watching for a couple of semi-creepy jump scares.There is better Korean horror, and there is better found-footage.

This was the first horror movie I saw this year (2011), Now this year almost gone. I am review it 11 months late! (Because i have total forgot about it)I was looking forward to this movie when I saw the trailer. made it look really creepy and scary! but it either of them!The plot: Over the course of 42 years, 6 went missing, 8 had accidents and 11 were murdered! Three haunted house club members and three camera crew decide to look into this infamously haunted house, known to be possessed by real ghosts. Ignoring all signs from the other world, they enter this haunted house and disappear without a trace. A video footage of what they shot during their visit was since recovered, which may reveal why and how they disappeared.This build up for this movie was really dull, nothing really happens until 50min mark of the movie.When the strange things start to happen, some scene are so dark, I could not make out what the hell was going on!I did not like the ending at all, it did not make any sense at all! This movie is a waste of Time, there is not one good think i can say about this movie!

usually i don't write reviews but as someone who really knows about horror movies, especially those who work with suspense and ghosts, i advice to watch that movie and maybe it is best then to stop watching it before the last 10 minutes. like so many times the rating of the others is totally inapropriate for a movie who understands to build up the atmosphere so well and which has decent acting with a lot of scenes that do scare the hell out of you. but for getting a scare you have to go into it, just like every horror movie. that is how our brain works.so definitely try the movie if you love suspense ghost horror.+great atmosphere +overall great acting +nicely placed shock scenes-reveals too much at the end and becomes therefore plump -some scenes tend to get a little too long

"Pyega" ("The Deserted House") tells the story of a group of filmmakers that set off to film a documentary about a team of paranormal investigators. The team decides to visit and investigate a factory where a whole family was slaughtered and a ghost is said to appear and drive people insane. Well, it's safe to say that it doesn't go well.It doesn't go well for the team and the movie itself. Although a decent horror movie, with some very creepy situations (that are sometimes ruined by horrible visual effects - i.e. the camera pixelizing) the only thing that saves this film is the overall atmosphere of the place. I've had my own paranormal adventures with a group of people, going to supposedly haunted places and recording EVPs and etc, and this atmosphere was top notch, so I connected with it at some point. Although some of the activities they set out to do while on site are ridiculous and unheard of, which can break the atmosphere at times.The movie is also a slow builder, which makes it a bit predictable. The scares are a mix of original and cliché moments, although I've got to give props, because there are times where the movie is supposedly preparing for a hugely done cliché and then strays away from it, building up the tension once again.The ending was tad disappointing, and I enjoyed the overall exploration of the site a lot more. I also think that the characters could have been a lot more developed, even though this is a "Blair Witch" kind of film with a documentary theme, they could have evolved the characters a bit more for the viewer, because it doesn't make the viewer care at all for them when horrible things happen.Overall it's a good experience. If you like good atmosphere and psychological horror, watch it, it's not even that long.6 out of 10.
