Leave your thoughts about Our House.
| VarietyDennis HarveyWhat this still modest yet considerably slicker upgrade gains in surface gloss and FX, it loses in psychological intensity and suspension of disbelief — qualities heightened by the prior film’s handmade origins. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.Anthony Scott Burns seems to be aiming for a genre entry in the vein of "We Are Still Here," but it ends up feeling more like a tame sequel to "White Noise." |
| New York TimesBen KenigsbergWhile Mr. Burns hasn’t fully digested his influences, he has learned from them. Our House distinguishes itself with its purposeful pacing — the first real jump scare arrives more than a third of the way through — its use of sound and crosscutting, and its wit with household objects, from a turntable to a mechanical calendar. |
| The PlaylistLena WilsonWhile Our House occasionally loses sight of itself and could stand to take more risks, it offers a wholly original perspective on female friendship bolstered by precocious directorial acumen and a self-assured visuals. |
| Film InquiryLinsey SatterthwaiteOur House is a curious sell, it does not provide enough of the prerequisite jumps and scares for a cheap thrill ride horror but it also doesn't trust itself, or the audience enough to take the narrative somewhere else. |
| The Hollywood NewsKat HughesAlthough not quite as spooky or sinister as it could be, it is still an intriguing modern update on the classic haunted house story. |
| Film PulseAdam PattersonThere's just not enough here in this "reimagining" to make it anything more than an average ghost story with few scares and fewer risks taken. |
| RogerEbert.comNick AllenWith sincerity kind of holding everything together, it's dispiriting when Our House becomes more of a rote haunted house movie. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayWhen the movie shifts more toward fright in its final third, Burns and Parker don’t have much new or exciting to offer. But with the help of a strong performance from Mann, they do a good job capturing one family’s feelings of brokenness, and how far they’d go to get back what they lost. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeArguably, the film's hard turn into Scaresville taints what has made it appealing up to this point — and certainly, a tease in its final shot is a cheap gesture toward a possible sequel. But what comes before benefits from the cast's solid familial chemistry and an unhurried approach to the question: Should we want to talk to loved ones who've died, or leave them (and ourselves) in peace? |
