Customer Reviews of Goosebumps - Welcome to Dead House
Not that good... Okay the story itself *RULES* and has INCREDIBLE potential. But the actors and actresses ruin it fully. The father's acting is especially horrible. The story is a little slow in execution - it takes the girl about five minutes to walk up the stairs and into the room! In fact, the whole first twenty-five minutes of the film are uneventful slum.
Goosebumps: Welcome to Dead House
Comparable to the episode of THE HAUNTED MASK, WELCOME TO DEAD HOUSE is a very well done and masterful Goosebumps episode. When two kids and their parents move to Dark Falls, they didn't expect to find that their town was a ghost town, and that their house is not just any old haunted house - it's almost like a theme park for the haunting ghosts of the town. Much darker than most of the Goosebumps episodes and similar to George Romero's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (though of course, much more toned down), this zombie episode is surprisingly very scary and riveting the entire way through. Well scripted and eerily atmospheric.
Very Well Done
I was actually surprised how good this was. The absence of bloody effects and profanity allows the author to simply concentrate on making us nervous. The start is so well done. The story STARTS normal, but we are given some irony and subtle hints of what is to come. The town Dark Falls is portrayed quite well. The images are not miles beyond plausibility, and we can see that something is not right. The gentle but creepy piano music in this video adds to the spooky atmosphere. The writer continues to gradually make us nervous, and then he hits us with more scary news (or to be more accurate scary history). (Very good!) One aspect of good horror is that the hints start small, but then they start getting bigger and more obvious. (Good horror can be like putting a puzzle together. We might find ourselves playing with a few small pieces. They may not mean much to us at first; but then we may find ourselves getting bigger pieces that make the outcome easier to see.) Another thing the writer did VERY WELL here is that he created a wonderfully drawn family. On one hand, they are NOT a sugary blameless family; nor are they a repulsive and vulgar family like Rosanne and The Simpsons. The writer showed that they can bicker amongst themselves, without getting dirty or insulting, but that they also know when to function as a family. WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE ABILITY TO DRAW FAMILIES THIS WAY??? I do not want to spoil the ending for those of you who have not seen it. For you parents reading this, it may be a good idea to watch this with your children. It is not exactly a harmless video. I will conclude by saying that this was so well done, it actually got me to buy the series of videos. Once you get into this series, you may find out just how easy it is to get hooked.
