Dark House (2014)



Agree with Angra; there were clear King, Koontz or even, to some extent, Clive Barker inspirations in the plot line & characters. So you can guess, the story had a great potential to become something really cool but frustratingly it didn't live up that expectations as a whole. The most disappointing part was they didn't explore that house at all, I just didn't get why nobody ever even just went & checked out the upstairs?! I was expecting a Lovecraftian showdown at the end with some creepy-weird monsters popping out from the dark corners of the house but that never happened. I think it was all because of budgetary issues, all those 'angels & demons' in human forms also never think of revealing themselves even when they were fighting with each other.

It's sad, when a film like this with such interesting premise turns out this way & a probably cool devilish villain never get a chance to show up.
