A really good comedy/horror (think Frighteners, but just not quite up there) that actually had me in tears at the end.

Ditto; liked it too. May be it's because of a Koontz story but I really loved its 80s feel all around and of course, the ending delivered a solid emotional punch as well. Get wed soon, buddy

I have no idea what the original title of this movie is and if this is really a fourth movie in a franchise, then where the hell are the former 3??
If we take that the titel is Dark House IV and the first one is Dark House from 2009 starring Jeffrey Combs, then what is the second and third movie called, coz i sure as hell can't find them?
If it instead is called Haunted IV and the first one is from 1995 starring Aidan Quinn, then... it just doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
Now on to the movie.
Directed by Victor Salva (Jeepers Creepers) this is an odd, but nice, blend of more than one horror genre. We have a Koontz/King character who inherits an abandoned house that's been lost in a forest for years. A house that turns out to be guarded by Wrong Turn mutants called Axemen. Pretty creepy looking creatures. Add to that some Lovecraft and demonic angels and you have Dark House/Haunted.
Pretty damn original, might i say. My only complaint is that most of the movie takes place in the woods outside the mystic house with all its dark secrets. But maybe we'll se more to that in Dark House/Haunted V.

Ok, adding right after HAUNT to dwnld & check out soon. But I'm not getting why you are so much confused with the title?? Check out IMDB info
here...the original title was HAUNTED (simply Haunted, not part 1/2/3 or 4) & I guess later they just gave a new one which is DARK HOUSE, release year: 2014 (simply Dark House, it's not part of any franchise/series). Though
wikipedia says it's a 2012 movie.
