While I had never heard about this 2025 horror movie titled "The House Was Not Hungry Then" from writer and director Harry Aspinwall, as I stumbled upon it by random chance, of course I opted to watch it on account of it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen. And I am a big fan of all things horror.
The movie was devoid of an interesting storyline, and was running on what might have been a script consisting of a single handwritten page. Talk about a pointless and boring story. I have no idea how writer and director Harry Aspinwall seriously could muster to conjure up something so bland and irrelevant, and even more impressively managing to put it on film.
As for "The House Was Not Hungry Then" being a horror movie, no. Just no. There was nothing scary about this movie, unless you consider how utterly pointless and the level of rubbish that passed for being a movie as horror, well then, by all means, then you're in for quite a treat, because "The House Was Not Hungry Then" was a waste of 92 minutes of film.
I was not familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, and I can't claim that I found the acting performances to be particularly impressive. But then again, the actors and actresses virtually had nothing to work with in terms of script, storyline and character gallery.
A lot of the movie was spent looking at empty shots of rooms or hallways in the house, with people walking past the windows or standing outside the windows and having conversation. But the problem was that the sound was so low that you couldn't hear anything but muffled mumbling. And truth be told, looking at shots of empty rooms or hallways just doesn't count as being proper entertainment for me.
Do yourself a huge favor and stay well clear of the atrocity that is "The House Was Not Hungry Then". Some of us literally suffered through 92 minutes of pure Hellish torment by sitting through the dumpster fire that is "The House Was Not Hungry Then". We did it so you don't have to; you're quite welcome.
But hey, if you think looking at strangely angled shots of empty rooms and hallways as being entertaining, then you're in for a stellar 92 minutes, should you opt to watch writer and director Harry Aspinwall's 2025 movie "The House Was Not Hungry Then".
My rating of writer and director Harry Aspinwall's 2025 horror movie "The House Was Not Hungry Then" lands on a generous one out of ten stars.
