My quick rating - 5.7/10. Another reality TV paranormal investigators flick that follows a team as they venture into Mexico's most haunted house, hoping to boost their show's ratings. What starts as a typical quest for sensational footage quickly turns into a terrifying ordeal when the mansion's dark secrets begin to surface. With no real ghost-hunting skills, the team must figure out how to survive the night and escape the house with their lives. This film strikes a well-balanced mix of horror and comedy. The characters are quirky and endearing, each bringing their own brand of humor to the table. Their interactions and reactions to the increasingly spooky events add a layer of comedic relief that makes the horror elements even more effective. I didn't recognize any of the actors but I did find Chris Geere hitting the laughs most often. The blood effects are nicely done, adding to the film's overall appeal. The practical effects work well within the movie's budget, providing just the right amount of gore without overdoing it. This balance ensures that the film remains entertaining without becoming too grotesque for the weaker stomach audience. The storyline may not be new but it is engaging, keeping you invested as the team navigates the haunted house's dangers. The pacing is well-handled, with moments of tension punctuated by humor that keeps the tone light without undermining the horror elements. The film's setting—a creepy, atmospheric mansion—adds to the eerie vibe, making it a perfect backdrop for the unfolding chaos. Overall, it is an enjoyable ride that blends horror and comedy seamlessly. Its quirky characters, effective blood effects, and engaging storyline make it watchlist worthy for fans of the genre. If you're looking for a horror-comedy that delivers both scares and laughs, this isn't a bad choice.
