I went into Ghost House with low expectations, I believed it would be yet another generic cliched Hollywood horror film but was mistaken (In a way I hadn't expected).
The Thai/US collaboration tells the story of a couple enjoying the sights of Thailand when one of them is tricked into desecrating a "Ghost House" and finds herself cursed.
So basically it's nothing we haven't seen before so I was right to an extent, but I hadn't expected it to be quite this bad. Hollywood cliched nonsense is usually dire but they at least stick to a tried and tested formula that is passable to a degree, this isn't.
The writing is appalling, the characters just aren't likeable preventing you from having any level of empathy and our antagonist is as engaging and original as run of the mill slasher film.
As the credits rolled I was left in awe, did that really just happen I thought? Did they drop the ball that hard? Ghost House is genuinely that bad, has no redeeming qualities and had it not been for the production values would likely not even be getting the second star.
The Good:
Antagonist looks okay
The Bad:
Weak characters
Dreadfully written
Just awful all round
