Bad. Really really bad.
I’ll fess up to liking the original House because it was fun. It wasn’t a horror movie. It wasn’t a comedy. It was something in-between that didn’t quite take itself too seriously. The fact that it was released in my junior year of high school probably had something to do with it too.

In this release, the third installment of the series, the action gets more gruesome (as you would expect), but the basic premise is the same: A bunch of people are affected by the visions of one person. That person gets nervous about an event that is about to happen, and as such those people don’t die as they are supposed to, thus circumventing death’s design and laying the groundwork for the rest of the movie.
This movie loses touch with the first two in that there isn’t any connection, other than the fact that those who got off of an ill-fated roller coaster just before it plunged several students to their deaths manage to look up the initial incident on the internet (there is only a brief mention of the second group). But it stays fairly close to the basic premise of the series.
