Nick Di Santo is tormented by his ability to touch someone and see exactly how they will die. On his twenty-third birthday Nick is summoned by his mother (Golden Globe Nominee Lesley-Anne Down) to the asylum where she has been institutionalized since his childhood. Nick is stunned by her revelation that the father he thought was dead is really alive and may know the origin of Nicks terrible gift. Nick sets out to find his father with his best friend Ryan and girlfriend Eve. But what starts as a simple road trip to meet the father he never knew soon becomes a horrific nightmare when it leads the trio back to the same abandoned mansion, a house that only existed in Nicks childhood imagination - or so he thought. Finally succumbing to the will of the house, Nick becomes embroiled in a battle with a dark figure (Tobin Bell, Saw franchise) (official distributor synopsis)

LOLhouse.

Due to its desire to be different and to piece together something that cannot work together, solely to confuse the viewer and not give away the ending too soon, the originality of this film becomes just a facade. A facade to captivate the viewer and then deliver utter nonsense that is so exhausting that all initial positive impressions of the film turn into negative feelings. That’s too bad.

Wow, I'm pleasantly surprised. Probably the best horror film by Victor Salva. From the 30th minute onwards, the film moves briskly and doesn't let up. On the one hand, Dark House is terribly stupid and rudimentary, but on the other hand it is incredibly entertaining, suspenseful, with perfect make-up and there is certainly no denying its originality. As mentioned elsewhere, the excellent axe dance was great and so over the top! I had fun. 65%.
