Movie Meme Day 2-Film More People Should Have Saw


Hello I am the movie encyclopedia and if no one else will see it, I will.

Day 2 of the meme is a film more people should have saw. I chose House on Haunted Hill. Before groaning let me explain. I chose it for these reasons:
  • It's darkly funny
  • It's creepy but not weird
  • The backstory is well developed
  • The effects are good
  • The acting is great
  • The writing is too
  • The soundtrack is better than both
  • Ghost hospital!!
Every time it's on MTV 2 I watch it...but nobody else will..sad...

  1. I'm actually in agreement with you on this one. I've watched this several times and whilst it's by no means great, it's at least a solidly entertaining horror film. Taye Diggs looks like being one of those actors that never quite made it but around the time he did this (in a year when he was also great in GO) I thought he looked like a great up-and-comer.

  2. Yeah I wonder if it was just bad casting decisions, being in TV series that only lasted a few episodes or something but he just really didn't last that long in the spotlight. He's a good actor and he means well so hopefully he'll get back up in the light.

    And I'm glad someone agrees with me. I thought I was the only one who liked this film at all.

  3. I'll see it, perhaps. I like Taye Diggs well enough, even if most of his movies suck.
