Demon House
A professional ghost-hunter buys a house said to be a portal to Hell in Demon House, a feature-length spinoff of cable TV’s Ghost Adventures series. Hoping to get to the bottom of the “Ammons House” lore — and to capture any proof of a haunting on camera — Zak Bagans reports he got more than he bargained for. Or as he puts it, “This is the case that really fucked me up.” Though the story itself contains enough to intrigue a skeptic, Bagans’ tendency to tart things up with horror-movie techniques makes this a movie to scare true believers, not win new ones over. It should fare much better on small screens than in theaters.
Harking back to the days when celluloid showmen would promote their wares by, say, taking out insurance policies lest any audience member should die of fright, Demon House begins with a warning that may actually be sincere. It warns, among other things, that “demonologists believe that demons can attach themselves to you through other people, objects and electronic devices.” So “view at your own risk.”
