House is undeniably creepy to start off with because it's got that same "oh don't go in there" feel to it as a lot of films where the characters wander off the beaten track into the path of some inbred nutjobs. The thing is though there's a whole other supernatural story that doesn't really work too well.
There's nothing very original either so most horror fans will guess the ending by about the two thirds mark and there isn't anything that interesting to watch in the meantime. If you've not seen many horror films or you've seen so many you don't care that what you're watching is a few reheated ideas thrown together then you'll probably enjoy this film.
I thought it was OK but the scenes feel thrown together without a strong story to keep them going and the character of tinman was a bit of a joke whereas by the logic of the film he should have been really scary.
