A Haunted House Blu-ray Review
By: MattInRC
The Wayans Brothers's A Haunted House Blu-ray release is one of the worst of the year, sporting a below-average video transfer, an average DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track, and a single supplement that shouldn't have been a candidate in the first place. But it's the completely unoriginal film that suffers here, reducing the experience to nothing more than mind-numbing fare and making this release a definite skip.
A parody of the found-footage horror films, A Haunted House is neither funny nor redeeming as even a rental. I won't belabor the point much longer, but disappointments from 2012 such as Battleship, Cloud Atlas, and John Carter look like amazing cinematic efforts as compared to A Haunted House. At least those films attempted to pair stories with good actors before being shunned by the general public. It's becoming a sad commentary to skip anything by the once great Wayans Brothers, as their kind of shtick would have seemed funny in 1990 when In Living Color premiered.
Your best bet is to stay far away from this poorly contrived and executed train wreck of a comedy - in fact, I will be burning my copy before the Internet ink is dried on this one. Thanks Wayans Brothers for seizing 86 minutes of my life that I won't get back.
