Leave your thoughts about House on Elm Lake.
| Film ThreatNorm GidneyIt's clear that effort went into the making of Elm Lake. The blood and gore effects are acceptable, the story could have only used a few rewrites, and the cast is strong. Yet it's so close to being watchable that it's almost a crime that it falls short. |
| Reel ReviewsFrank Wilkins... simply too many "seen that before" moments and not enough "well, that was cool" surprises to make it a strong recommend. |
| StarburstNick SpacekIn the end, House on Elm Lake is a dull, rote, mess of a film, only occasionally enlivened by some blood and screams. |
| User ReviewNathalie SI think people who actually watch horror movies realized that this is the same story of '' Amityville horror'' just by reading the description.... I watched anyways, the movie is not that bad, it's just there's nothing new anymore, nothing surprising or nothing worth seeing and also I think that if you're trying to make a movie that's based on a good movie (Amityville horror) it has to be great movie... In conclusion don't expect it to be a good movie and maybe you'll like it. |
