When overactive man-child Malcolm (Marlon Wayans) takes the plunge and lets girlfriend Keisha (Essence Atkins) move into his house, he quickly senses they’re no longer alone. Videotaping a series 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.

A real hogwash. At times, I didn’t really get it and then at times, I was bursting with laughter. It’s all purposely filmed with a bad, shaky camera that only shakes when it suits the authors. I may have kept looking at my watch by the end of the movie, but I must say that the hour and a half was worth it in the end.

A Haunted House is not as hopeless as many critics might paint it. Its main problem is that it's more of a black comedy than a horror parody. It's not helped at all by the fact that all the jokes in the film are the first possible reactions anyone would have to the situation, which is why I felt like I was watching an improv show or something like it for the entire duration. Especially given that the funniest scenes had nothing to do with horror at all. That most people would rather see Marlon Wayans picking their cotton after this is their problem.
