Beyond the film’s ethnic stereotypes and flat characters, it needs to be scary, and it fails on that front as well.

A young couple go on an adventurous vacation to Thailand only to find themselves haunted by a malevolent spirit after naively disrespecting a Ghost House.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
ReelViews by James Berardinelli
Ghost House is a generally well-made but ultimately unsurprising excursion into the supernatural.
The Hollywood Reporter by Justin Lowe
A discordantly derivative attempt at amalgamating divergent horror cliches and unrelated cultural traditions.
Los Angeles Times by Kimber Myers
Visually, Ghost House makes good use of its setting, offering Instagram-ready images of its location shot by Pierluigi Malavasi. Unfortunately, Thai people are used in ways that rely on cultural stereotypes, a blemish on an otherwise effective and unsettling film.
