I can only imagine that many reviewers came to this film with preconceived notions. Starts off with the worn out trope of young folks going to party at an abandoned building of some sort and bring alcohol and drugs only to be killed off by some unknown evil.

There are scenes in this film that are laugh out loud funny. Watch with subtitles. Dubbing sucks. I'm going to watch this again in case I missed something in the first viewing.

Give it a chance, you might be glad you did.

Horror can be simple sometimes. Sometimes it will depend on your taste - as in do you mind if there is humor in it? Because I know a lot of people who like their horror movie to be as straight as they come (no pun intended).

That being said, this is fun, light and silly. Nothing more and nothing less. Do try to take it with a grain of salt ... go for the ride and just enjoy this for what it is .. if you can't, you probably shouldn't watch this at all.

This is a French horror they said with an overlay of comedy. I must say that in my entire life I never laughed with French humour but I do adore their horrors. Over the top gore mostly or straight in your face.

Sadly, Le Manoir doesn't contain one piece of that. The humour is so childish that I rather thought kill 'em all in stead of run run. On part of the horror, it's really never there. You must wait until the last 30 minutes until things go wrong but it's low on gore or let's just say horror. The effects on the other hand are really well done and above mediocre.

Maybe the funniest part is the Spanish speaking boar. And maybe teens could have a laugh with the sex jokes told. Is it worth seeing for the geeks, well, if you haven't got anything else then you could see it but otherwise it's a waist of time.
