This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Fantastic!
A Masterpiece!
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
This movie is just pooh pooh. It is not funny. There a scene with man taking a pooh pooh on a floor. And that is proof that is not funny it is just pooh pooh. The story is line awful. The acting is awful. The humor is awful. There are a lot of comedy movies that are not funny. They are just pooh pooh and this is one them. A couple by a haunted house. It is supposed to be funny but it is just pooh pooh. The Wayans brother have no talent. There are not funny. There do not know how to be funny. There movie to prove the comedy is easy. Do not wast you time. Do not wast your money do not see this awful pooh pooh of a movie. This is one of the worst comedies from 2013. It is not funny at all.
I understand that parody movies have pretty much been on the way out since Scary Movie 2. That being said, this film was not as bad as most recent outings in the parody genre.Maybe it's my inner child that giggles most of the time, but most of this film had me in stitches. Granted, the flow is off and the writing can be cringe-worthy at times. However, it has been a long time since I've laughed at a film that uses a stale shtick like parodying more successful films.If you enjoy crude, childish humor and are not afraid to admit it, this film might be up your alley. But please take that thought with a grain of salt. If you don't enjoy this film in the first 15 minutes, you may as well stop watching then. It doesn't get any better.
This movie is simply not funny. I watched the whole thing without harming my face muscles. I am really surprised that some people liked and considered it to be funny. Problem with A Haunted House is that it fails in every aspect. Marlon Wayans tries to be funny, but the script is too awful. Smoking weed with a ghost can't make people laugh, but it can make you think that writer was high when writing this. Director apparently saw the Paranormal Activity and decided it would be good idea to make a movie which makes no sense. Some say it's supposed to be like that and I know it's the same genre as Scary Movie but this one isn't funny. I watched the trailer and can say that it contains only funny moments in the movie, so go and watch the trailer, there's nothing more to see.
Basically, "A Haunted House" (2013) qualifies as a clever carbon copy parody of the found footage chiller "Paranormal Activity," but told entirely from an African-American perspective. Director Michael Tiddes and leading man Marlon Wayans parlayed this $2.5 million comedy into a box office bonanza. The Open Road release netted approximately $40 million at the box office. The film opens with an eerie prologue: "In October of 2012, the following video footage was found in the home of Malcolm Johnson. The events recorded are still unexplained. In "A Haunted House," Malcolm Johnson (Wayans) and his girlfriend Kisha Davis (Essence Atkins) move into a new house to live to together. An evil spirit that cannot have enough sex possesses Kisha and transformed her into a nymphomaniac in voodoo make-up. Predictably, everything spiraled out of control for this cute African-American couple and yielded loads of laughs along the way. Of course, our hero arrayed his residence with surveillance cameras galore to catch the ghosts in the act. He bought his camera from Best Buy and has trouble initially using the camcorder because he has left the lens cap on it. Eventually, he brings in a gay psychic (Nick Swardson of "Grandma's Boy") named Chip to prowl the premises. Mostly, Chip spends the entire 86-minute movie trying to seduce Malcolm. Some of the scenes here are recycled in "A Haunted House 2." For example, when Kisha arrives at their new house with her convertible loaded with her belongings, she runs over Malcolm's dog Shiloh. Desperate to resuscitate his pet canine, Malcolm resorts to car jumper cables and blowing air up his doggie butt before he scrambles off toward the hospitable. Another scene that Tiddes and Wayans recycle occurs when Kisha promises Malcolm that she will slip into something more comfortable, and an amorous protagonist provides us with a sex tutorial. He strips naked and makes love to a dog, a puppy, and a duck. Mind you, all these animals are plush toys, but Wayans knows no bounds for ridiculing himself and this hilarious scene ranks as borderline offensive. Of course, if you cannot tolerate shenanigans like these, then "A Haunted House" is probably not for you.
