Plots(1)
In an outrageous send up of the Paranormal Activity movies, The Devil Inside and other "found footage" movies, A HAUNTED HOUSE features young couple Malcolm (Marlon Wayans) and Kisha (Essence Atkins) who have just moved in to their dream house. As they settle in, they quickly find they're not alone. But it's not the house that's haunted, it's Malcolm's girlfriend who is possessed by a demon. Malcolm hires everyone from a priest to modern day ghostbusters to rid her of this unwelcome intruder, determined not to let the evil spirit ruin his relationship... or, more importantly, his sex life.

A Haunted House is not as hopeless as many critics might paint it. Its main problem is that it's more of a black comedy than a horror parody. It's not helped at all by the fact that all the jokes in the film are the first possible reactions anyone would have to the situation, which is why I felt like I was watching an improv show or something like it for the entire duration. Especially given that the funniest scenes had nothing to do with horror at all. That most people would rather see Marlon Wayans picking their cotton after this is their problem.

A real hogwash. At times, I didn’t really get it and then at times, I was bursting with laughter. It’s all purposely filmed with a bad, shaky camera that only shakes when it suits the authors. I may have kept looking at my watch by the end of the movie, but I must say that the hour and a half was worth it in the end.
