Our House is a psychological horror film that emphasizes atmospheric dread and individual trauma. The story centers on the dissolution of the domestic sphere through a traditional demographic lens. The film adheres to conventional storytelling, focusing on the internal collapse of its protagonists. This approach results in a work that lacks significant multi-layered depth or the subversion of established social hierarchies. Ultimately, the narrative remains firmly within genre standards, offering little in terms of progressive demographic disruption or systemic critique.
