The Haunted House Project

I am a huge fan of Asian horror, as well as an avid watcher of found-footage horror. I've seen a lot of terrible movies in both genres, so I can safely say that this was not the worst.

However, this was far from a good movie.

Its main problem was the pacing. It was boring, and disorienting in an uncomfortable (read: awkward) way. After over an hour of some bad actors trudging through a dilapidated building, I was feeling hopeless. I nearly turned it off had it not been for a few prime scare scenes, which were actually half decent.

The real saving grace, though, was the atmosphere. The dark corners and moldy walls build a kind of suspense, and this may be because the building in which the action takes place is quite literally falling apart. I seriously hope the film crew got some tetanus shots before making this movie.

All in all, I wouldn't recommend it. The ending didn't make sense, the plot fell to pieces after ten minutes, and it just wasn't worth watching for a couple of semi-creepy jump scares.

There is better Korean horror, and there is better found-footage.
