 "Paperhouse" is about a sickly 11-year old girl who has increasingly nightmarish dreams of a picture she has drawn. Like the drawing, the house in the nightmare sequences is shaped like a trapezoid and its windows aren't perfectly symmetrical, yet it looks very real (and very cool). Soon she adds things to improve her drawing, but they often turn out for the worst in her dreams. While the nightmares are goreless and not especially violent, the movie handles all this material very sensibly and manages to make everything credible, though the ending is a rather happy one as far as horror movies go. The bottom line: While not brutally horrific by any means, "Paperhouse" is an original, intelligent film with a very cool premise of a child's drawing coming to life in nightmarish ways. |
