If the house is located in Amityville, I'm going to be very disappointed....

I'm sure it is the "ominous things" that is what makes the script worth buying.

Maybe the cesspool backs up?

would like to know because it sounds run of the mill horror, must be something unique about it, haven't read it.
From that logline, it sounds to be yet another run-of-the-mill and mediocre horror film. Doesn't sound to be anything overtly interesting.

Probably some stupid twist ending where the "dream house" is really inside a snow globe or something.

Let's hope that the ominous things happening in the house don't turn out to be just a dream!:(

Of course it's worth $1 mil.

C'mon, the guy wrote SNAKES ON A PLANE.

Nope. The Citizen Kane of movies in which there are snakes on an airplane.

I for one, can't wait. SNAKES ON A PLANE. Just say it a few times. Let it roll around your mind...

That's what happens when a well-liked writer gets a group of top notch producers attached to a script. These guys can get anyone to star in the movie and anyone to polish the script. that's all.

I think the logline is too vague to hate this out of hand.

And the title might be better than you think. What if it's not a wryly ironic haunted house title? What if the concept deals with the dream world?

It could be good. Probably not, but it could be.

Anybody read "The House of Leaves?" There's still gold left in the "spooky house" mine.
