It's got a really pleasing stylization to it... I think it's such a high-quality production, a drama [that has] horror elements in all the right places.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 24, 2021

Features enough quality filmmaking and strong performances to make it worth a watch.

While Our House sounds horribly generic on paper, it's Burns' directorial eye and sensationalism that frames ghostly haunts with confidence.

| Original Score: 7/10 | May 27, 2019

Things get a little choppy with the introduction of hidden rooms and rumours of nasty foster parents, but the film never lags nor lacks visual interest and suspense.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Apr 16, 2019

Though set in present day, Our House nails that 80's aesthetic and nostalgic wave genre audiences have been surfing since Netflix's breakout hit Stranger Things.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Apr 10, 2019

There's just not enough here in this "reimagining" to make it anything more than an average ghost story with few scares and fewer risks taken.

| Original Score: 5.5/10 | Nov 20, 2018

While Our House occasionally loses sight of itself and could stand to take more risks, it offers a wholly original perspective on female friendship bolstered by precocious directorial acumen and a self-assured visuals.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 23, 2018

Burns seems to have wasted an opportunity here.

| Original Score: C- | Oct 17, 2018

Although not quite as spooky or sinister as it could be, it is still an intriguing modern update on the classic haunted house story.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 10, 2018

Our House is a curious sell, it does not provide enough of the prerequisite jumps and scares for a cheap thrill ride horror but it also doesn't trust itself, or the audience enough to take the narrative somewhere else.

| Aug 20, 2018

Our House is a slick reinvention of filmmaker Matt Osterman's indie shocker that makes up in visceral intensity and emotional nuance what it lacks in originality.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 14, 2018

With sincerity kind of holding everything together, it's dispiriting when Our House becomes more of a rote haunted house movie.

| Aug 6, 2018

Despite some solid performances, the film's creepy setup never really pays off in the end, and any emotional buy-in requires an outrageous suspension of disbelief.

| Aug 3, 2018

A competent and confident look at how blind hope can overlook real dangers before us.

| Jul 27, 2018

Better to leave the past behind is the message director Scott Burns himself ignores. Trying to improve on a rough-cut original, he fails to account for the ghost in the machine.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 27, 2018

Anthony Scott Burns seems to be aiming for a genre entry in the vein of "We Are Still Here," but it ends up feeling more like a tame sequel to "White Noise."

| Jul 27, 2018

Though it lacks the go-for-the-throat spirit seemingly required to succeed in the broader horror marketplace these days, its sincerity and polish should impress genre die-hards...

| Jul 26, 2018

Our House thoughtfully examines how those traumas can affect the familial unit, and how the worst of circumstances can sometimes bring out the best in people, especially when their loved ones are in jeopardy.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 26, 2018

With a brief runtime and a script that doesn't dig deep enough, both the drama and the scares are underserved.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 26, 2018

"Our House" distinguishes itself with its purposeful pacing ... its use of sound and crosscutting, and its wit with household objects, from a turntable to a mechanical calendar.
