The House Behind the Wall, Babes and Hunks Haunted in Virginia

There is beauty in the swamp if you look in the right places. This 2014 ghost/horror film will find little love from critics.  It is fair to point out that the entire "Star Wars" franchise is based on some ethereal force that can do anything you want at any time. Critics seem to love that idiocy. Me? Give me a classic ghost story any day of the week! Today we look at a film shot entirely in Hampton Roads, Virginia..."The House Behind the Wall," directed by Robert Stephens.

This film can boast of a great looking cast and this is not debatable. Five college friends move into an old and large house for their senior year.  Jess (Elyse Dufour), a sultry redhead has had an awful year and funds are short.  Liz (Spike Leffke) is a blonde babe who takes mercy on Jess and fronts her the rent. Liz's hunk BF is Trip (John Lesser).  Rounding out the quintet is the bitchy Catherine (Erin O'Sullivan) and her BF Will (Josh Plasse).  There will be a lot of pre-marital sex.  Gratuitous bikini scenes.  "Will you rub suntan lotion all over my back" type scenes.  There will also be a lot of cheating.  Jess and Will will even get together.  Oh yeah...the haunting.  Footsteps...doors opening on their own...mysterious noises in the attic...wine bottles shattering...and a ghost.

The ghost of a weird gal shows herself to Jess.  No one believes her...would you?  Well, Jess is a babe...I suppose if you wanted to get in her pants you might say you believed her. Back to the film...Jess does some research and finds out who the ghost is.  Worse...she also finds out her and her four friends may be in mortal peril. Possession enters into the plot.  More bikini scenes...more pre-marital sex scenes.  Then... carnage!  Bloody carnage!  Then more bikini scenes. Good for Robert Stephens to show us some nice bikini wear as the summer approaches.

Just what is Jess' connection to the malevolent spirit that haunts this house?  Will each of the members of this quintet die horribly as each of them has engaged in pre-marital sex?  Would these young people have had to worry about ghosts and cheating friends if they were engineering majors living in a graduate dorm with classmates that don't speak English well?  For some nice cheese and beef and an eventually bloody plot...see "The House Behind the Wall."
