Why it’s HorroRated

The Houses October Built is a found footage film with a strong hook: real haunted attractions used as horror infrastructure. The documentary texture works because the film actually went inside real haunts and let the line between performance and threat blur naturally. The final sequence earns the buildup completely.

Synopsis

Bobby and his friends travel the country visiting haunt attractions and the film follows their found footage alongside the houses they attend. The Houses October Built uses real haunts as a backdrop and builds genuine unease from the overlapping line between performance and actual threat. A found footage film with a documentary texture that serves the premise well.
