    The central problem here is one common to faith-based films: The heroes (Reynaldo Rosales and Heidi Dippold) are both overly bland and poorly cast.

    House has a few moments that ring genuinely eerie, but the cluttered, unconvincing dialogue – not to mention Moseley's ongoing penchant for crazed overacting – make it more of a genre curiousity than anything the "Fangoria" gang would likely want to sit through.

Then yadda yadda, screaming, sweating, devil worship, yadda yadda... Then fallen actor Michael Madsen (who somehow has top billing despite 10ish minutes of screen time) reappears with 7-8 minutes left to phone in a few lines and die.
