I really enjoyed this actually! Justin Long and Kate Bosworth are some seriously good actors. They really put on a show! I understand there was a ton of conversation and it's pretty fair to say this was incredibly slow. I can understand that. But sometimes slow is good. This held pretty solid build up and while it was predictable I also considered this to be a classic long stretch of tales from the crypt type of story. So I really enjoyed the aspect of that and couldn't wait to see what was going to happen. Even if I knew there was clearly something off about Mina you still don't know exactly what it may be! The ending was great and a classic! The acting was also incredibly good as expected.

Sometimes slow can be fun, if you pay attention!
Barely a movie, more like a play with one act.
Justin Long plays a dorky guy who drives the sassy Kate Bosworth home to maybe get frisky in her big old spooky house.
The rest of the movie is a real time (yes, really) conversation that drags on and on. The extensive dialogue is cluttered, swamped with umms and ahhs and throwaway lines that the cheapest editor on Fiverr would have jettisoned immediately.
The cinematography is poor. Actors often have their eyes in shadow which subtracts from their otherwise decent performances. There is only one location, a living room, and most of the time we can barely see it. They took the title literally, it seems. Don't expect the house to play any role. It doesn't.
It's a very basic movie, essentially a one act radio play. A cliched thirty second denouement is telegraphed hard and then it's over. I can't even tell you what this movie is about because it only has one idea and it would spoil the whole thing. As a five minutes short, it would be respectable. As a movie, it's a toothless waste of time.
Awful and boring
The first more than an hour of this boring crap, is a conversation between Mina and Hap. First outside her mansion and then inside in the couch. Nothing happens. Nothing!! He is overly awkward and she is overly mysterious. And they do nothing by talking. Its like watching a stage show in a theater. And a very boring stage show at that. Its a total waste, watching the sad and dull crap. Its gotten bad ratings in Rotten Tomatoes and on IMDb. And if you waste time watching this crap, you will find out why. Otherwise, save time and everything else, and avoid this crap. Its boring, Its weird and nothing happens. Nothing.
