A Haunted House

Malcolm and Keisha think they've found their dream home, only to discover they share it with something sinister. When Keisha becomes possessed, Malcolm dives into a whirlwind of schemes to save her, turning to a priest, a quirky psychic, and a spoof team of paranormal investigators. The setup lampoons the recent wave of found footages and documentary style horror, letting the couple's relationship collide with a growing supernatural chaos. What unfolds keeps the mood brisk and cheeky rather than grim, delivering crude humor and over the top sight gags without tipping into genuine dread. The tone stays light while the scares land in bursts.

Directed by Michael Tiddes from an original concept by Marlon Wayans and Rick Alvarez, A Haunted House parodies the found-footage horror trend with a cheeky twist and a punchy tempo that leans on improv and pop culture riffs. The film uses quick physical humor and cameos that fans will recognize from the Wayans comedy era.

Reception was mixed, appealing mainly to fans of the Wayans spoof style who enjoy broad gags and rapid pace, while critics noted uneven humor and genre jokes that wear thin. The film examines romance under pressure as paranormal chaos disrupts trust and privacy. Its humor targets the glossy veneer of horror cinema while keeping the couple's dynamic at the center.

As part of the late 2000s and early 2010s spoof cycle, the film slots into a broader pattern of send ups of haunted house thrillers and documentary style scares. It travels on familiar punchlines and popular cast moments rather than breakthrough originality. It also helped normalize humor around paranormal tropes in mainstream cinema, paving the way for later spook comedies and home viewing appeal.
