House of Ghosts

About This Movie

House of Ghosts is an intriguing piece, blending that campy horror vibe with a dash of sci-fi. Mihm, in his homage to Castle, really captures a certain charm. The atmosphere is thick with tension, especially during those dinner party scenes. The pacing has a nice ebb and flow, keeping you engaged without rushing into the scares. The practical effects are a standout; they’ve clearly got that 60s and 70s aesthetic down pat. Performances tend to lean into the melodramatic, which fits the tone perfectly. It’s not your run-of-the-mill ghost story - there's a social commentary lurking beneath the surface that gives it a bit more depth. Worth a watch for collectors who appreciate that retro style and humor.
