How scary is Our House?
There's a heavy, sad mood hanging over this one that comes from grief more than from scares. The pace is slow and quiet for most of the runtime, with small unsettling moments building instead of big jolts. When things do turn frightening, it leans into an eerie, sorrowful kind of dread rather than shocks or gore. This is a better fit for someone who wants a ghost story with real emotional weight than someone looking for a scream-out-loud ride.
On The Horror Database's 0–5 scare profile, Our House rates psychological 3/5, visceral 2/5, gore 1/5, lingering effect 2/5, and overall intensity 2/5.
