After kidnapping a young woman the kidnappers begin to realize they may be the ones in danger. Their victim is not as helpless as she seems and is in fact, a demon.
Sharni Vinson (Hazel), Carlyn Burchell (Katherine), Steven Ward (Ade), Gustav Gerdener (James), Zino Ventura (Mark), Mia Slabbert (Young Hazel), Nicole De Klerk (Sarah).
House on Willow Street begins well enough as the kidnappers hatch their plot and put it into motion. Once Katherine is kidnapped however, things start taking a strange turn. As the kidnappers realize they may be in trouble, a couple of twists are thrown in that are never well explained. The remainder of the film turns into a mess of horror scenes that seem to rely on past events, none of which is ever connected well.
Acting was okay with Vinson and Burchell delivering fairly well. Ward, Gerdener and the remainder of the supporting cast were a bit rough but okay.
Camera work, sets, and backgrounds were mediocre at best. Dark settings to intensify the horror instead made the film difficult to watch and left backgrounds almost invisible. Action scenes were decent but due to lack of energy and intensity otherwise, fell somewhat flat. Dialogue was choppy and thin. Sound and soundtrack are okay.
Overall House on Willow Street may be a decent entry level horror flick. As long as you aren't interested in much depth. Fans of darker horror lacking storyline development may enjoy this one.
With some blood, gore, horror, and a touch of foul language, this should be fine for older teens and above.
