House of Good and Evil is a movie we’ve been keeping an eye on since its first appearance in our Indie Spotlight and it’s headed to DVD on April 1st. For the latest installment of our Q&A series, Derek Anderson had a chance to catch up with the movie’s star, Rachel Marie Lewis, to learn about her experience on set:
You’ve played characters in dramas, comedies, and romances, but to my knowledge, your role as Maggie Conley in House of Good and Evil was your first time acting in a horror movie. What was it like to play a character in that genre for the first time?
Rachel Marie Lewis: It was great and certainly stretched me, that’s for sure. Every day was emotionally and physically tedious, so preparation was absolutely crucial.
Your character, Maggie, displays a wide emotional range as she copes...

It’s difficult to forget the past, but that’s what Maggie Conley (Rachel Marie Lewis) and her husband, Chris (Christian Oliver), are trying to do in director David Mun’s feature debut, House of Good and Evil. Maggie and Chris have a particularly haunting past to put behind them, one that includes verbal arguments, physical abuse, and the devastating loss of their unborn child. Intent on starting life anew, Chris and Maggie move out of their apartment in Baltimore and head deep into the Virginia woods to live in a rustic, white clapboard duplex.
The Andersons, an elderly husband and wife living in the other half of the duplex, will be their only neighbors for miles before they move out in a month’s time. Before they can even finish unpacking, though, Maggie realizes the isolated, possibly haunted house actually enables Chris’s hostile nature, putting her sanity and very life in jeopardy.

In the spirit of Halloween '09, we're breaking out reviews (some new, some old) of some Fall Frights you may want to work into your monthly viewing.
Originally published, 10/06/2006
If nothing else, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning should help quell the frequent complaint that major-studio horror films wimp out when it comes to graphic violence and uncompromising cruelty. Just this year alone, Hostel, the Hills Have Eyes remake, the upcoming Turistas and (perhaps most of all) this latest Chainsaw entry have been unafraid and unapologetic about subjecting audiences and onscreen victims to severe levels of savagery and bloodshed.
As for originality in the majors’ contributions to the genre, well…that’s another matter. Yet The Beginning is about as good as one could expect a prequel to a remake of a classic to be; it’s a seriously intended and sometimes quite disturbing film whose greatest liability just might...
