Flawed but entertaining - mild spoilers ... - The Ghost of Charnel House review by NP
This film is commendable for trying something different. The idea of a futuristic tower block being built on top of an old slaughterhouse with a questionable past is a good one. The rich, beautiful people who guide us through this potential nightmare, with their perfect smiles and hints of cosmetic surgery are easy to dislike, however, and the acting doesn’t stop them from being entirely bland. One perfectly manicured character has a video conversation with her mother – who is exactly the same kind of perfected character vacuum as everyone else, only a few years older. Equally, the pouty little girl Mia whose parents coo over constantly is just a miniature version, carved out of the same stuff.
There are hints of JG Ballard in this storyline, and the production does its best to evoke a disturbing past by integrating images of animal distress from the building’s slaughterhouse days. This works pretty well.
Callum Blue is good as Alex and Mackenzie Moss impresses as little Mia, especially when things get nasty. Sadly, ‘getting nasty’ in the case of this film indicates this turns into another retread of The Shining. 5 out of 10 for me.

Charnel House - The Ghost of Charnel House review by porky
Entertaining enough but pretty dull and very obvious story. No Scares,no Jumps and No Mystery here .
Its not the Worst movie I've seen, and for a Low budget it did ok, I just wouldn't like to say it was a Good movie either.
If you had picked it up in a bargain bin for a Pound you would be happy enough with your purchase . if you had paid any more you would feel robbed.
