THE HOUSE squanders its horror anthology potential and ends in disappointment

The House has gotten some attention for being a light horror film that's largely unsettling. I thought it was... fine. If I viewed it as three separate short stories, I'd probably rate in order of best to worst: Story 2, Story 1, and a distant Story 3. Combining the three together was a bit frustrating when it became clear the movie wasn't going anywhere with its premise.
