What Parents Need to Know
About House
Parents need to know that this horror movie -- which was adapted from a best-selling novel by Christian authors Ted Dekker and Frank Peretti -- has adult themes like repentance, sin, and suffering. The violence isn't as over-the-top as in many other horror movies (much of the worst of it occurs off screen or against people viewers later find out aren't even human), but the film's tone can become fairly intense. The movie's moral message is strongly present -- the lead couple renew their marriage while being pursued by a psychopath -- and it's clear that their reconnection and intrinsic goodness are what save them. While there's not much in the way of inappropriate sex, language, or drug/alcohol content, there is some fairly stereotypical depiction of Southerners; the villains are all depicted as creepy, cackling hillbillies.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how this movie is similar to and different from other horror movies. How do its Christian origins/themes affect the movie's content and storytelling? Do you have to be religious to enjoy a movie (or other media) with a basis in a specific set of beliefs? Families can also discuss the movie's use of stereotypes. Does the fact that the "victims" of the stereotyping are supernatural villians make it OK? Why or why not?

Really Good
I thought this was really good. I loved the book, but I didn't know if the movie would be as good, but it was.
