What to Expect

House 4 is a haunted house horror that's about the "Cobb family" moving back into the same house that ran Roger off back in the first House. I say "family" because it's not the same family from the first House. Totally different wife and now they have a daughter instead of a son. But, it's a low budget haunted house movie from 1992 that looks like it was made in 1982 so I'm just going to roll with it. Another thing that I'm just going to roll with is the fact that this time the house wants to both hurt and help them. And also it's on sacred indian ground all of a sudden.

House 4 feels like it should be the direct sequel to House 1. Same guy, same house, seamless story. In House 1 Roger was separated from his wife and moved into a house he inherited during his separation. In House 4 he's back with his wife and they move into the house together. Why would Roger move back into a haunted house that kicked his ass the first time? No idea. You gotta roll with it. So they move in, get settled and then Roger dies in a car explosion, because why not. His wife and daughter now live in the haunted house alone with no experience on how to fight the spirits. But then all of a sudden there's an old Indian guy who shows up who knows everything, so that helps.

Overall, House 4 is a weird old haunted house movie that was just a long, slow sad death of the House franchise.

Movie Review: House 4 (1992) Review

Critic Reviews:

House 4: The Repossession is far closer to House in tone than the second and third sequels, and what with William Katt’s character Roger Cobb returning brings this decidedly odd series virtually full circle.

– Horror Cult Films

House IV is garbage, if you really can’t find something else to watch then you might find it’s clichéd cheesiness entertaining as it does at least have the feel of a low budget 80s horror movie which gives it something.

– GBHBL

The major problem with House IV is this hypocritical concept of the house. Since the house both attacks and protects Kelly and Laurel, the themes of the film get mixed up into a mess of ideas about houses and protection of property and Indian curses, none of which really make sense when the film boils down.
