House on the Hill (2012)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Genres: Based on a True Story, Serial Killers, Captivity-Kidnapping, Rape-Sexual-Violence against Women, Torture

Plot – Spoilers:
Based on the serial-killing ’80s hit duo, Leonard Lake and Charles Ng.

House on the Hill slices in footage from Lake’s home tapes – his views on captivity, women and control – but uses slinky ways to avoid getting into the practical effects required for any decent gore. But once you accept this, it does a pretty watchable job of capturing the trauma, on what was evidently a limited budget.

Low budget with bad acting and lousy production but still somewhat effective. One thing that really bothered me was the two guys that played Lake and Ng. They looked too slick. The guy that played Lake had a full head of quaffed yuppie hair and wore chinos and dress shirts. The real Lake was balding with a grizzly kind of look about him and he was more of a flannel shirts and dungarees type of guy. The guy who played Ng had a chiseled and toned muscular body. The real Ng was kind of a fat, rollie pollie looking kind of chunk. I’ll go straight up the middle with this one and give it just a cunt hair over 2 and a half stars.

Yeah, not gonna win any awards but it was ok. But could have been so much better. It was just cheap and smutty with some mediocre acting.

People often speak of these guys as a “Duo” as if Ms Cricket did nothing but watch and film some of the events. Surely no one out there truly believes that some grizzly, scraggly, balding old fuck and his insecure, stubby Cleptomanic Kato could actually entice young girls back to their home? Or is it a coincidence that Claralyn took a job as a teacher’s aid at the local high school? And then there is the interview where she talks about how she enjoyed watching 15 and 16 year old girls having “interesting things done byto them.”

Maybe it’s time we all stop calling it a “Duo’ and start calling it what it really is…

A fucking trio of sick fucks, one of whom had boobs.

Oddly enough I was watching a youtube doc last night on those two (Lake and Ng). What a charming duo they were.
