REVIEWED
“They're all monsters Maggie, the only difference is they're in your bed instead of under it.” - Mrs. Anderson (Marietta Marich)
Chris and Maggie Conley are a married couple who no longer sleep in the same bed and whose marriage is falling apart. In order to try rebuild their relationship they move out of the city to an isolated house in the countryside. Only the unbelievable deal on a double house conversion they purchase, turns out to be a bad move as the place as got a strange presence, and Conley's world slowly starts to descend into paranoia.
House of Good and Evil never completely rises up from its budgetary restraints, and its also a little dull at times. But its a solid first feature by director David Mun and writer de Golyer, and an admirable attempt to make a creepy psychological horror. The actings a little wooden but Rachel Marie Lewis does really well in the lead role of Maggie, not sure shes got a movie career in-front of her, but she'd more than suffice for television.
[Personal Reasons For Remembering]
Marietta Marich as loopy old Mrs. Anderson was an amazingly well written elderly character.
