What the *beep*


Is it just me or did anybody else watch this film and think "What the *beep* is going on here?".

Seriously, this film made no sense and had GAPING plot holes:

Do estate agents not check/clean a house before selling it?

A tomb in the middle of a WOODEN floor which has a basement underneath?

Why was the babysitter such a wierdo if she WASN'T working for the evil doctor thing?

Was the little girl a ghost?

Why was the librarian guy such a wierdo?

Does nobody report missing people in this town?

Why does the mother not question why her babysitter is cleaning a s**t load of blood off the floor?

Why was the babysitter trying to break into the basement?

Why would a scientist burn a video tape which contained really important information?

What the hell was the mannequin with blood in it?

What were the eyes in the basement because the evil doctor thing clearly has no god damn eyes?

Maggot blood?

Wouldn't a house filled with disemboweled corpses absolutely stink?

What the hell happened at the end? The old lady and the kid were ghosts? Bob is now a ghost?

Seriously, this film gave me a headache!

I give you credit for lasting long enough to be annoyed about all those things.

The movie lost me at the casual knife stab through an adult human skull. Silly stuff like that takes me right out of the movie. I'm so distracted I can't get into it.



No two persons ever watch the same movie.

its a fulci movie,its not ment to be coherent,dont watch italian horror movies for a good plot.

Remakes Suck

I liked how it entered near the top of her skull and came straight out her mouth, like there was a dimensional portal inside her head.

Hahahaha

I was thinking the stabber should go on the arm wrestling circuit. For having incredible arm strength.

Not just you. I sat through the whole movie and had similar questions. I only paid about 45 cents for the movie (It came in a combo pack of horror movies for $5) and even then I think I wasted my money.

true, huuuuuge plot holes

Your suppose to watch the movie like its a really messed up dream. Thats what I think at least.

It's a sad thing that your adventures have ended here

I'm not sure on that one.

A tomb in the middle of a WOODEN floor which has a basement underneath?


It could have been a tradition.

Why was the babysitter such a wierdo if she WASN'T working for the evil doctor thing?


I think Anne, the babysitter, was just a weird ass!

Was the little girl a ghost?


Mae was a ghost.

Why was the librarian guy such a weirdo?


He was just a weirdo.

Does nobody report missing people in this town?


Well this movie centered around the people who enter the house, so they could have been reported we just don't see it.

Why does the mother not question why her babysitter is cleaning a s**t load of blood off the floor?


That was the one I could never figure out.

Why was the babysitter trying to break into the basement?


It could be possible that Anne, the babysitter, heard something strange (the doctor) down the basement so she was trying to see what it was.

Why would a scientist burn a video tape which contained really important information?


I don't remember that part.

What the hell was the mannequin with blood in it?


The mannequin is supposed to be Anne & it's foreshadowing what will happen to her.

What were the eyes in the basement because the evil doctor thing clearly has no god damn eyes?


Most likely a goof.

Maggot blood?


Well he was a century old so it wouldn't be hard to believe that bugs could have entered his flesh.

Wouldn't a house filled with disemboweled corpses absolutely stink


Yes but it's another goof.

What the hell happened at the end? The old lady and the kid were ghosts? Bob is now a ghost?


The old lady & the girl were ghosts, Bob is dead.

It's a movie that you have watch with you brain off.

All of you are hilarious. Looking for logic in a movie where supernatural beings murder people.

I used to be like all of you, getting angry at plot holes, wringing my hands over poor plot points and lapses in logic.

Then I remembered why I watch movies in the first place, entertainment. House by the Cemetary is not Kafka, it may not make sense and it may not be coherent. But it was a fun ride and I am happy I spent my money on it.

Uwe Boll also makes trash but even his movies can be gloriously dumb fun.

The blood on the floor not being questioned can be explained. The bat attack scene is a little earlier in the film, so it could be assumed by Lucy that the blood was from that encounter (to be fair, that bat bled a lot).

reply

That's a real stretch.


Life can be arbitrary and comes without a warranty.

reply

Wouldn't a house filled with disemboweled corpses absolutely stink


Yes but I recall Lucy stating the house stank of death.

But do all these questions matter? When a film is riddled in goofy plot holes as much as a Fulci film, just enjoy the ride and fill in the plot holes yourself - you have an imagination don't you? Use it.

I agree with the two posts above, stop looking for *beep* logic in these types of movies. I'm also getting tired of people looking for logic in older animated movies but that's a different story. I watch movies to escape from reality, the more weird the better.
