House

Saturday, June 14, 2008

No, I did not count an episode of the hit TV series House, M.D. as a movie. This is a horror film from the 80's about a Vietnam vet who is either going crazy or being haunted by ghosts.

What's interesting here is that the story suggests it could be a serious horror film. Had it been made in the 70's it would have been directed by someone like Wes Craven or Bob Clark, and it would have made a statement about the Vietnam war. But instead, it's the 80's so it's more like a special effects driven horror/comedy. And actually it's a half-decent one, not a klassik but it is fun.
