A Haunted House (2013) Movie Review

At hand is smart dim and next there is just obvious stupid. At that moment in attendance is A Preoccupied Studio, which blazes its way addicted to a full original kind of stupid: Painfully, epically stupid. Other descriptive expressions and phrases that come to mind? Immature. Challenging to sit from beginning to end. Unfunny. Vertical to video while you Watch A Anxious Apartment Online.

OK, that last one was immediately wishful thoughts. A Troubled Cottage is certainly hitting theaters, oddly an adequate amount of, in the movie wasteland known as January and not roughly Halloween where it more correctly belongs. But 2013 is off to a beautiful bad surprise with this horrific misfire.

I recently had the honor of meeting Marlon Wayans in person for an interview and I truly deem he is an very talented, gracious man. He was spontaneously funny and also took the time to meet and greet a group of children who were getting a tour at the museum in which the interview took place.

I don't fault him for the kind of humor he is attempting. It's just that this time around, very little worked.

The premise, I guess, was half-inspired, meant as a compliment. A Haunted House is a riff on the "found footage" genre of horror film, made popular again most recently with films like Paranormal Activity. In a different, recent interview, Marlon Wayans observed that very few black people tend to be in these types of horror movies. So what would happen if a ghost or ghoul decided to haunt the house of a black couple? Could be funny, right?

This question is answered, when you Watch A Haunted House Online Free as are many others that weren't even asked. Marlon Wayans and Essence Atkins play a young couple just moving into a new (albeit haunted) home. The ghost farts in bed, has sex with them and wreaks havoc on their house. Marlon's first reaction? To move. Immediately. Like, pack the car and get gone. Had the movie only ended there. It's never explained why then, in the very next scene, the couple is back and living with their new supernatural nemesis. Or maybe it was explained, half-heartedly.

This is a film where the wife kicks the invisible being in his "ghost balls." Where Marlon feigns having sex with a stuffed animal. Where farts are funny, not once, but in several scenes throughout the film. Not exactly high-brow stuff.

They call in a priest (Cedric the Entertainer) to lift the demon spirit from their house. They bring in a home security expert (David Koechner) to equip the house with cameras. They call in a psychic (a closeted Nick Swardson) to communicate with the ghost. They equal call in a gang of thugs, to kick the apparition off of their turf.

None of these talented comedians are bright to exonerate the house of the spirit, otherwise breathe any classify of life into this immature script.

I happen to ensue a big whiff of the parody genre, from the classics like Airliner and The Naked Gun (one of my all-time preferred films), to additional recent unbeaten parodies such as Not Another Teen Show, Scary Film before even the low-budget Parody Picture. Excluding in support of each Angry Shots, near is a Mafia!. Used for each I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, near is an Epic Show. And for every Manipulative Bludgeon 1, in attendance is A Preoccupied House.

Sometimes, a funny idea doesn't carry with it the proper weight to pull off a feature-length film and is maybe best left as a skit or a punchline on stage. A Haunted House is a film containing one joke that has even less laughs. Watch A Preoccupied Accommodation Motion picture Online
