- 60The New York TimesBen KenigsbergThe New York TimesBen KenigsbergWhile Mr. Burns hasn’t fully digested his influences, he has learned from them. Our House distinguishes itself with its purposeful pacing — the first real jump scare arrives more than a third of the way through — its use of sound and crosscutting, and its wit with household objects, from a turntable to a mechanical calendar.
- 50Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayLos Angeles TimesNoel MurrayWhen the movie shifts more toward fright in its final third, Burns and Parker don’t have much new or exciting to offer. But with the help of a strong performance from Mann, they do a good job capturing one family’s feelings of brokenness, and how far they’d go to get back what they lost.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeArguably, the film's hard turn into Scaresville taints what has made it appealing up to this point — and certainly, a tease in its final shot is a cheap gesture toward a possible sequel. But what comes before benefits from the cast's solid familial chemistry and an unhurried approach to the question: Should we want to talk to loved ones who've died, or leave them (and ourselves) in peace?
- 50The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Brad WheelerThe Globe and Mail (Toronto)Brad WheelerA so-so remake of the low-budget 2010 film "Ghost from the Machine" that comes off as run-of-the-mill paranormal thriller. No electricity, one might say.
- 42The PlaylistBradley WarrenThe PlaylistBradley WarrenOur House, doesn’t set its ambitions much higher than the VOD market, and its haunting is passable if not all that spooky.
- 40VarietyDennis HarveyVarietyDennis HarveyWhat this still modest yet considerably slicker upgrade gains in surface gloss and FX, it loses in psychological intensity and suspension of disbelief — qualities heightened by the prior film’s handmade origins.
