| eFilmCritic.comUri Lessing...unneeded cruelty, and gratuitous scenes exposes House of Voices as derivative of films like Suspiria and The Others, but not a film that deserves to join their ranks. |
| User ReviewLanky Man PYoung cleaning woman starts new job at old orphanage and encounters spooky happenings. Creepy good times, late 1950s setting co-starrng Catriona MacColl (The Beyond) from the director of Martyrs. |
| User ReviewBradley KThough I love Cuaron, I feel that this is a better film than Devil Backbone. It's ambiguity is carried longer and in turn propels the tension. The finale is truly terrifying both conceptually and artistically. |
| User ReviewYves SI really enjoyed the story of this film. The movie was also filmed in a more art or poetic type way. The cast was pretty good for the film. Lou Doillon was a good side character with a warped mind. The main character is played by Virginie Ledoyen. She keeps in character the whole time and is interesting to watch. Now like I said, this movie has a very interesting story and was fun to watch. But the scare factor was a little off. There were a few scenes that got me, but as many as you would expect from this type of movie. Especially since the film had ghosts of children. The movie was originally called Saint Ange and later re-released as House Of Voices, which in my opnion was a poor new title. I like the old title because it tells you nothing about the film, just where it takes place. |
| User ReviewJohn PPascal Laugier has directed one of the most effective movies I have seen recently, Martyrs. This is before that effort, and lacks a lot of explanations on certain aspects. I am NOT a fan of haunted house movies. This, however, kept my attention because of the solid performances, and the beautiful photography. |
| User ReviewDatis TGood movie, but felt almost high concept. I feel it's one of those movies you should watch twice to completely figure out. |
| User ReviewTTT C(** 1/2) This film is not nearly as bad as people are saying. If you like ghost story movies, you'll like most of it but you'll still realize that it is not one of the better ones. |
| User ReviewBill Rhorrible dialog, and not a very scary movie. It goes more for jump scares, which can work if the suspense and timing are right but this had neither and you know when to expect it. pass. |
| User ReviewDaniel EFairly boring.. Didn't make much sense to me... |
| User ReviewCarlos MThe production design and cinematography are stunning and help create an eerie atmosphere along with the melancholy score, but the problem is that the script never makes the character's growing insanity and obsession any clear and turns out to be completely empty in the end. |
