HHN Houses 5 and 6

 House #6

A QUIET PLACE

We all know the movie - don't you dare make a sound or the sightless alien monsters who use some form of advanced echolocation to locate their prey, will snatch you up and presumably eat you.


I found this house to be very middle of the road for me - thus the #6 ranking.  The house had very little appeal for me beyond the clattering noise made by the aliens (which gives me the feeling that I should find the nearest hiding place and BE QUIET), and some pretty cool and massive animatronic aliens in the final room.

House # 5

Insidious: The Further

I am an insidious amateur and have only seen the first movie.  Fortunately you don't have to be well-versed in the Insidious movies to enjoy the house.  One of my favorite things about the house is the giant read door you have to walk-through at the beginning of the house while a woman's voice repeats, "now go outside, let my voice be your guide, keep a steady stride, into the further we go."  Step beyond the door and you enter the further. The more you walk, the deeper you go. 

Many tagged this the scariest house of 2024 but, while the walk-through had its moments of thrills (I mean who wouldn't be at least a little scared of that old woman), I never had the feeling of entrapment, disorientation, or claustrophobia that others have written about.
