A formally successful writer is having a hard time writing his next novel due to his only child disappearing, his wife divorcing him, the aunt who raised him committing suicide and him now moving into her large haunted house. Even worse is he has two extremely annoying neighbors who somehow feel they have the right to just waltz into his house anytime they feel like it 24/7. Shit is fucking nuts. At one point, ol boi is investigating a strange sound in an upstairs bedroom at midnight and his neighbor literally comes walking in the room holding some beer!
I don’t know, the whole movie is just a mess. It advertises itself as a horror movie, but in reality, it’s a goofy comedy with nothing remotely funny happening ever. Okay pacing, dated special effects, a way overly complicated story, mediocre acting, weak ending, non-threatening monsters, zero gore, zero nudity. I have absolutely no idea how this movie ended up being rated R. Worth a watch if your curious, but nothing at all to get excited about.
