[THE CHARNEL HOUSE
opens in Cleveland on Friday November 4th exclusively at Tower City Cinemas.]
Review by Bob Ignizio
This being The Cleveland Movie Blog, I always look forward
to films shot in my home town with a special kind of anticipation. Unfortunately,
would-be horror film THE CHARNEL HOUSE
is a major disappointment.
The premise is that an old slaughter house, secretly a murderous
playground for its owner Thomas (Patrick M. Walsh), has been turned into the super
fancy, state-of-the-art Fairmont Lofts by entrepreneur Alex Reaves (Callum
Blue). Everything is run by computers using voice activated controls.
Unfortunately for residents, there's a ghost in the machine in the form of Thomas'
son Rupert (Alden Tab). When Thomas decided to kill himself rather than face
justice, he tried to take Rupert with him. But whether he succeeded or not is
not entirely clear at first.
