"The Scarehouse" (2014)
Watched
"The Scarehouse" (2014). Another terrific Canadian horror film
(alongside "Girl House") about two young women (played brilliantly by
Sarah Booth & Kimberly-Sue Murray) who set out to enact revenge on
their former sorority sisters by luring them to a haunted attraction,
and then subjecting them to some grisly torture. Kind of a cross
between the "Scream" & "Saw" films, with a nice blend of
humor (which thankfully never went over the top) to counterbalance some
pretty grim hazing scenes. The movie features an all female cast, each
of whom turn in very believable performances, with some great banter
back & forth between them. I also liked the way the film told the
girls' back story parallel to the main action by cutting back &
forth between the two, thus keeping me guessing all the way through as
to what the overall picture was. 8 out of 10 for me.
