Directed by: John Wintergate
Synopsis: Boardinghouse follows the story of a man who inherits a house with a dark past. He decides to turn it into a boarding house for young women, but soon discovers that the house harbors sinister supernatural forces.
Review:
Boardinghouse is a peculiar entry in the horror genre, marked by its eccentric narrative and quirky style. While it might initially draw viewers in with its intriguing poster, the film itself is a bizarre and disjointed experience. The storyline meanders, and its primary appeal appears to be the gratuitous nudity, which might catch some viewers by surprise.
The special effects are passable, fitting for a low-budget production, and the film does feature a few decent songs that add a bit of charm. It's a movie that you might pick up cheaply on platforms like Fandango at Home or Vudu, making it a somewhat worthwhile watch if you're curious about obscure horror films. However, it’s best suited as background entertainment while you’re occupied with other tasks.
Overall, Boardinghouse lands at the bottom of the watch list for sure. It's a 6/10 for a one-time viewing, serving as a reminder that not all movies can be winners.
My Rating: 6/10
