“The House On The Hill” (*1/2 out of four) was an ungainly melodrama about a woman (Samaire Armstrong) released from a mental hospital who goes back to her hometown to visit her brother but soon finds that he doesn’t exist and all traces of his existence have vanished. Is there a conspiracy at hand or is she losing her mind? Exploitative script and story about mental health disorders is juxtaposed onto a routine thriller framework and results are flat and weak. Director Nadeem Soumah previously told similar story just last year in “Who Stole My Daughter?”
