Saw this movie recently through a friend.
What I can say about TheCampusHouse.Com is that it is a sort of love letter film to old school slashers of the Halloween days; movies with such iconic horror characters as Jason Voorhees, Freddy Kruger, Michael Myers, all seem to have left their respective marks on the filmmakers, er, in regards to their reception in the movies, of course - not physical marks!
What is so charming about CampusHouse is that it is obvious the amount of fun the movie has with itself. From the style, to the story, to the set-up, to the killer, the movie isn't shy about letting on that the filmmakers are True Blue fans of the genre.
In a sense, you could say that CampusHouse is not much more than a fan film, though its a solid fan film to be sure. The budget is obviously low, the actors aren't necessarily top notch, and the story becomes fairly predictable, yet therein lies it's charm.
You know the film you're getting isn't meant to be something anymore than what it appears to be, which is respectable and helps in allowing you to simply sit back and let the movie speak for itself.
Despite some of these drawbacks, the story is interesting enough with a small amount of bloody violence, though if you're a horror fan who loves their gore, CampusHouse is bound to disappoint - the violence takes a more understood approach.
In addition, the killer is portrayed fairly well and the atmosphere of intensity indeed becomes palpable as the movie's third act reaches it's climax.
The dialogue isn't so bad, and the characters all have their quirks which make them all unique from one another.
In all, TheCampusHouse.Com provides, if nothing more, a simple, enjoyable, viewing experience in it's considerably short runtime, for fans of the genre - those with retro sensibilities, especially.
