The House of Yes

1997

McLean Virginia

Mark Waters

Black Comedy

What’s it all about: Give Parker Posey a loaded gun and a pillbox hat and there’s nothing she can’t do. Also starring Tori Spelling as a piece of wood.

First Encounter: Candotti’s first viewing, courtesy of @lucasholt

Prostitute Index: nil

Death By: reenactment 

Relics: actors with carbface, interest in the Kennedys 

Heartthrob: Parker Posey

LoFi Magic: Tori Spelling’s slow-motion run from the house (“She can’t even run” — Candotti)

Makes me want to: get the backstory on Tori’s hair and wardrobe — were these her ideas? 

Candotti take: “It’s a movie that’s out there, but it’s not a movie that you must watch.”

Lucas take: “The happy-ending music sounds confused, like, is it a happy ending?”

Worth a watch/rewatch: No
