A Haunted House is a spoof film made by the guys that created Scary Movie, and I can say that this is better than Scary Movie 5. The film primarily spoofs Paranormal Activity, and has various references to other movies, but it stays focused on just one movie and it makes the film more enjoyable because of this. Comedy wise I did laugh a couple of times here, but there were never any huge laugh out loud moment that stood out.
The film has a lot of jokes that just don´t work, and it felt uncomfortable when this happened because no one in the theatre would laugh. One of the big problems with the movie is that they tend to make "funny" scenes longer than they should. If they were shorter they would have worked, but they keep dragging them out and the scene becomes plain unfunny. The acting here is nothing special, and it´s a shame since there are some talented actors here.
I do have to say that I liked this more than I thought I would, but it still isn´t a good movie. There are funny moments, but then there are forced jokes and dragged out scenes that don´t work. I hope the sequel is better (yes, they are currently filming it). I´m giving A Haunted House 1.5/5
