Notes:

Malcolm and Kisha move into their dream home but soon learn a demon also resides there. When Kisha becomes possessed, Malcolm -- determined to keep his sex life on track -- turns to a priest, a psychic, and a team of ghost-busters for help.

DETAILED STORYLINE

Comedy - This is a horror movie parody in the Scary Movie vein, this one focused on the recent trend of found footage ghost stories like the Paranormal Activity series. Like the Scary Movie series, in addition to being silly, this film has a lot of crude and raunchy gags that are potentially offensive and very much inappropriate for children. Language and sexual content will also be of concern to parents.

OPINION OVERVIEW
The following is the original "What's Worth Watching" write-up for this movie.

Moviegoer Opinions:

Unfortunately, we were only able to collect 11 reviews. As expected, most were teens and about evenly split between males and females. Nearly everyone rated it "Fantastic" or "Excellent." Only one female rated it as low as "Very Good." So, even though there aren't very many reviews, the reviews we have indicate "A Haunted House" is a movie not to be missed (if you like this type of movie).

D ETAILED S TORYLINE

Marlon Wayans, the comic genius creator of SCARY MOVIE and WHITE CHICKS, delivers another hilarious spoof, this time taking aim at the found footage horror phenomenon.

When overactive man-child Malcolm (Marlon Wayans) takes the plunge and lets girlfriend Kisha (Essence Atkins) move into his house, he quickly senses they're no longer alone. Videotaping a series of paranormal events, Malcolm is shocked to discover the love of his life carries more than your average relationship baggage: she's demonically possessed by an evil spirit. Malcolm enlists the help of priest/ex-convict Father Williams (Cedric the Entertainer) to exorcise the demon from his girlfriend before it ruins his relationship... AND his sex life.

Marlon Wayans and Cedric the Entertainer deliver riotous performances in a raunchy supernatural comedy that pokes no holds barred fun at our deepest fears. A HAUNTED HOUSE is demonically good fun.
