Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Great for vampire fans and fans of a good haunting. Vampire lore, given its own spin. If you loved The Conjuring or Hell House LLC, start here. Critics were cooler on it, but audiences had a great time.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 25 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: meant for adults.
  • Not one for anyone who hates jump scares.

Taking a wrong turn, travelers find themselves trapped in a mysterious house. One horror after another threatens them, as the sorcerer who lives within needs sacrifices to give eternal life to his beautiful bride.
