To that end, she rents an extremely luxurious house quite a way away from anything (and anyone), and she feels like heaven, literally from day one ... well, at least until she notices she's not alone in the house, and that those who are in the house with her are the ghosts of the dead (Zak Santiago, Alex Zahara, Emilie Ullerup, Zahf Paroo, David Richmond-Peck) ... <p>Now this properly freaks Jean out, until she finds out more about her housemates: They might not be ghosts as such, just souls in transit, considerably miffed about being stuck in the house and waiting to go on, and the ghosts might all have skeletons in their closets. But maybe there are also some ghosts in Jean's own past that need to be exorcised ...<p> <p><b>The House</b> is a very interesting little movie, as it starts out as a proper ghost story, but soon enough affords itself the luxury of going routes so far un- or underexplored in similar movies of its ilk, eventually finding a very humane approach to the genre while at the same time functioning as a supernatural mystery featuring a few quite unexpected and yet very plausible (at least in the film's own little world) twists and turns, plus while the film deals with some deeply emotional, serious subjects like death and guilt, it manages to do so in an entertaining way.<p>Very interesting, really! </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2014"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
