TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Sam Panico A rock star has a nervous breakdown and decides to recuperate in a remote house. Yet he finds himself asking, "Am I insane? Or is this house haunted?" Just by reading the title of this movie, I think you know the answer. Gary Straihorn (Parker Stevenson, former husband to Kirsty Alley and one of TV's Hardy Boys) has hired a nurse named Sheila (Lisa Eilbacher, Bad Ronald) to help him. The house they settle in seems way too familiar for her, but she can't remember a lot of her life. Like the fact that she may be named Margaret. But everyone who either screws with her - like Gary's girlfriend Tanya - or tries to help her, like a woman who gives her some newspaper clippings, all get killed by the house. Can a house fall in love with someone? After you see this, you'll answer: YES.There's a great cast in this as well, including Slim Whitman (The Howling), Joan Bennett (Suspiria and TV's Dark Shadows), character actor David Paymer, Amanda Wyss (the first person Freddy kills in A Nightmare on Elm Street) and even Philip Baker Hall (Magnolia) shows up in a blink and you'll miss him role.This movie was directed by William Wiard (his 1980 TV movie The Girl, The Gold Watch and Everything was a big deal when it came out) and was written by TV writing and producing vet David Levinson. They'd also work together on another TV movie, Fantasies.This has never been released on DVD. You're at the mercy of the grey market and YouTube. Trust me, it's worth it.

cath70-1 I remember this movie scared the crap out of me as I was only 11 at the time. The horror scenes in it were very gory for '81 and for being a TV movie. The scenes I remember are; Blood pouring out of the shower head while a woman takes a shower. The gate at the entry-way closing on someone. The indoor swimming pool overheating and boiling someone alive and killing them. I definitely want to see this again since I was 11 when I saw it last. Parker Stevenson was a cu-tie back then too- Woo Hoo! I believe this was a TV movie - and was pretty good considering it was probably low-budget. The Rag Lady freaked me out too. If anyone has information on how to get a copy of this- I'd be interested though I probably have it taped on a VHS tape from the 80s somewhere at my mom's house.

aesgaard41 This movie set me up to be terrified by becoming too set on computers to live on. It's a nice little movie, but is it supposed to be possessed by the computer running the estate, a ghost or by both. It's never really becomes clear. The house's closed-circuit cameras somehow predict that Parker Stevenson's rock star persona will be coming to the house on a sabbatical and will be bringing a nurse with him. The nurse is played by his "Hardy Boys" co-star Lisa Eilbacher apparently to cash in on their chemistry and looks. The house then goes on to kill in some very innovative ways anyone that it deems a threat. It even kills Slim Pickens, Parker's manager, over long distance ! The rest of the story runs smoothly revealing secrets in the forgotten history of Lisa's character and showcases Joan Bennett of "Dark Shadows" fame as the bag lady with all the secrets. This a top notch thriller and mystery for true horror fans who don't want a lot of needless gore.

Carlin I haven't seen "This House Possessed" in almost twenty years, but it definitely made an impact on me. Along with the movie "The Entity", the imagery from this film made its way into my subconscious pre-teen mind and lingered in my nightmares for quite some time as one of the truly scariest films I'd ever seen. If horror means "gore" to you, then you probably won't care for this film. But if horror means "capturing the imagination in truly frightening ways" to you, then (as with me) this is your kind of film. Like I said before, it has been a while since I saw it, so I don't remember many of the details clearly, but I will never forget the shower scene. The whole movie made me look at my house in frightening new ways, and it made me glad that we were the house's first occupants. Then I saw "Poltergeist" and everything changed. ;)
