You would expect that since they have a larger budget and updated equipment.
There aren't any big name actors in this film. They are, however actors that you may remember from other films.
We have Julie Ann Emery (from Hitch), Bill Moseley (from the Halloween remake), and Michael Madsen (from Free Willy) starring.
Two couples find themselves in a creepy house. There are three tenents who offer them a place to stay (it's kinda like an Inn). Things go from creepy to worse when one of them tries to leave and there's a man blocking their escape. He's the Tin Man and he wants one person to die tonight. All they have to do is decide which one.
But there's something deeper going on...and when they find a little girl who's been hiding in the basement, you'll never know who to trust.
The acting is much better in this film. The people who live in the house are just as creepy on screen as they were in the book.
With a run-time of just over 80 minutes, you don't get as much story as you did in the book. But that works just fine in a horror movie. The time spent down in the basement often got confusing in the book. Here, you follow each character and won't get lost.
House is rated R but there is no nudity, no sexual content, and I don't think there's even blood - I could be wrong though. There are a couple moments where people cuss but it's very minor. (Get Short this movie is not). I think one of the big reasons this film got an R rating is because someone points and shoots a little girl with a shot gun. If you have a film where kids are in danger/harm, the ratings will become PG-13 or R very quickly.
The ending was a little cheesy; this whole idea behind the "light" didn't quite work out as to be expected. But the film is another step in the right direction for artists like Ted Dekker.
