About The Scary House

Two brothers move with their family from a busy city to a quiet, fog wrapped village, hoping the change will bring a fresh start. In the creaking new home they discover odd noises, flickering lights, and a corridor that seems to shift at dusk. Hendrik, the older boy, and Eddi, his inventive little brother, team up with Ida, Fritz, and Sabine to chase rumors that the house keeps its own secrets. As they map overheard whispers and strange symbols, the border between reality and folklore blurs, and the town's smiling facade begins to crack. The kids pursue a mystery rooted in memory, loss, and the stubborn pull of family life, all while staying one step ahead of danger for themselves.

Directed by Daniel Prochaska, The Scary House fuses a family orientation with eerie fantasy set in a compact European town. The project brings together Marcel Kawentel, Timo Lombeck and Martina Wildner as creators whose collaboration shapes its mood and mystery.

Box office data for The Scary House isn't publicly released, reflecting its modest, selective release aimed at family audiences across a few markets. The film's earnings, if any, remain unreported in major trade sources and limited distribution across select territories.

Cultural footprint remains modest. The Scary House has not spawned famous quotes or viral scenes, and it sits more as a niche pick for families curious about gentle horror. Yet its emphasis on home, belonging and the tension of starting over could linger with audiences who relate to big moves.

Reception to the film notes a steady, family friendly tone that keeps frights accessible. Themes center on relocation, trust, and facing past secrets as a unit. The young cast brings warmth to tense moments, grounding the supernatural hints in everyday family life. It invites viewers to discuss what home means.
