THE MOVIE \u2014 3.25\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>Two years after a tragic accident, six college girls are invited to a party inside an elaborate Halloween funhouse. Once inside, the girls realize their hosts\u2019 intentions are not all fun and games. Confronted with their past, these friends will fight to survive an intricate revenge scheme inside the Scarehouse.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: The Scarehouse<\/em><\/strong> is a halfway respectable, if not simple, revenge horror flick that is hardly great but has its moments. It\u2019s also quite brutal in the kills even if the \u201cstory\u201d didn\u2019t make a whole lot of sense (maybe I missed why the sorority sisters would follow directions from an anonymous note\/text and go to some backdoor is beyond me; maybe they\u2019re that dumb?) and the intercut footage that unravels what happened wasn\u2019t the best (utilize the found footage \u201cstyle\u201d) but I at least I was entertained throughout the short 80-minute running time.<\/p>\n

The movie, produced in Canada, was written and directed by Gavin Michael Booth in his fifth feature film (and seemingly widest release) and stars Sarah Booth (his wife) and Kimberly-Sue Murray, both of whom worked well off of one another, the former being the highlight.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Again, nothing fantastic or memorable, yet for some it\u2019s probably worth picking up on sale if you can\u2019t find it streaming somewhere.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

VIDEO \u2013 3.75\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The Scarehouse<\/em><\/strong> comes to Blu-ray presented with a 2.35 widescreen aspect ratio and given a 1080p high-definition transfer. The majority of the film takes place in a dark environment save for intercut scenes in some more brightly lit areas, providing some color. As such, it\u2019s not the most pleasant looking picture though the torture scenes contribute to that, detail is okay and there were no apparent bouts of aliasing or banding.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

AUDIO \u2013 3.75\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The disc comes with a typical but efficient DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. This isn\u2019t\u00a0 anything amazing but does a fine job within the confined space where ambient noises make usage of the front and rear channels and the center speaker relegated for the dialogue (or blood-curdling screams).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

OVERALL \u2013 3.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\n

The Scarehouse<\/em><\/strong> isn\u2019t some masterful horror movie or anything, yet still found it mildly entertaining and does feature a fun atmosphere (as designed by a real-life scarehouse creator) and the performances from the two leads were respectable. The Blu-ray release has adequate video and audio transfers and a so-so selection of bonus material.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
