House Of Darkness has very little to it which is unfortunate because there’s a great idea here, the cast are at least solid particularly Justin Long and Kate Bosworth. The main issue here is the dreadful pacing and the movie leading up to something that the viewer could figure out within the first 10-15 minutes. There’s definitely a few interesting bits here but a lot of the movie is awkward small talk that doesn’t make for a 1 hour and 29 minute film. It would be one thing if this were a short (in fact I think this movie would have been far more successful as a short) or if the small talk was investing, unfortunately that’s neither of the cases here making the movie fall short. The final act is fine enough but by then it’s way too late.
