Either a really bad horror movie, or...

I very cleverly disguised comedy. I laughed several times. Not out of judgment, but because a lot of the moments were genuinely funny (even though they weren't supposed to be)

I'm never going to watch this again, but it probably would be more enjoyable to think of as a farce

Comedy gold:
-The moving dresser
-Ashley Green's lack of a wardrobe (I don't care if your house is haunted, put pants on before you leave it)
-The opening garage door
-Ms. Green nailing herself on the wrong side of a door
-The opening scenes where they laugh and throw food at each other just to make sure that we understand just how happy this couple is

I could go on, but I have school tomorrow

I will admit like most horror films today they tend to be rather laughable despite the intention of trying to be scary.

I hated this couple. The way they were written was waaaay too over the top. The girl playing video games with the guy...the writer/director is such a try-hard. The couple had no depth. They were just written as hunky dory, two dimensional morons. The result was that didn't care at all about what happened to them.

She didnt nail herself on the wrong side of the door idiot, she nailed the door shut in the opposite side, like she meant to, but when she turned around she was now inside the laundry room, which is what was the creepy factor, the whole point was how did she end up in the laundry room when she didnt start out there, now I understand why people don't get movies and therefore don't like them, bc you don't understand them and miss the points. This movie was one of like 3-4 movies ever to actually creep me out and I've seen every supposed horror movie since the silent film era, the acting was a high cheese factor but besides that it was pretty creepy if you imagine yourself in that situation. Much creepier than fake blood and guts spewing everywhere. Maybe I just am used to seeing real blood and guts and real life murdere that are much more horrific than any movie, but the thought provoking movies are much scarier than fake flying heads...
