Some of this may well be nostalgia speaking, but I think that House, behind it's comedic coat of paint, contains plenty of interesting character-driven ideas, such as the main character's battle with his memories of Vietnam. Definitely not perfect, House does get a bit goofy at times, but generally I find the film pretty solid.
What are your thoughts on House, and would you pay the rent?

its one of those it was better when i was a kid type movies that actually felt creepy back then.
However, not a bad movie and worth the watch for anyone that's not seen it.
