Film Review – A Haunted House

The Wayans Family already had their way with horror film parodies,
having masterminded (or slapped together) 2000’s “Scary Movie” and
2001’s “Scary Movie 2.” Apparently, the lure of slapstick was too great

and last year’s unexpected exorcism smash, “The Devil Inside.” As to be
expected with a Wayans endeavor, the picture is crude, desperate, and
permissive with its actors. What’s surprising here is how lazy “A
