House on Eden Christian Review
House on Eden — as soon as I heard the name it seemed like yes, there would be another found-footage horror. A little shaky camera, something like “what did you hear?” type dialogues, a couple of creepy shadow corners, then blackout, and a jump scare. Standard formula, right? But … as much as this movie looks horror, there is that much spiritual unease hidden inside. Directed by Chris Collins, the cast is also the same TikTok–Instagram Instagram-famous people. Influencer horror vibes—on one side, relatable, but on the other side… something strange stings. Something shakes inside.
The story starts with a picture-perfect house. It looks exactly like a magazine cover—everything clean, tidy, bright lighting, insta-worthy corners. But as the characters enter that house… the air becomes heavy. Something feels off. And at one point I remember Ephesians 6:12—”Our struggle is not with men, but with other spirits.” On the surface, ghosts and shadows are moving… but the real fear? That is spiritual.
The characters enter without any discernment. As if they entered out of mere curiosity—neither any prayer, nor cover, nor wisdom. And as the darkness increases, people begin to disappear, the mind shakes, and everything begins to twist. At one moment, it feels like this house itself is a metaphor—as if this whole setup is a sin. Sleek, aesthetic, dreamy from the outside… clean poison from the inside. Just like Matthew 23:27—“A clean and pure grave from the outside, but only bones and filth from the inside.”
Gen Z will find this movie fresh due to the found-footage + influencer combo. It will be quite relatable too—the story begins while making a vlog, searching for a reel-worthy place. But if you take faith seriously, then this movie is a spiritual red flag—no mention of God, no prayer, no fight-back of any kind. Just downfall. Just darkness. And that too without any light.
And this is the most unsettling thing. There is horror, but without redemption. Just fear, without a path. If you are one of those people who look for a deeper meaning even in horror—like the consequences of a sin, or a hidden grace somewhere—then this movie can make you feel hollow on a spiritual level. It’s crafted to scare, not guide.
But if you have to watch it, then watch it. Just say a small prayer along with the popcorn. Because what is happening on screen… can happen, even if it is not just a script. Sometimes a real question is hidden behind fear—“Which door was open? And did you have the guts to close it?”
House on Eden is a creepy story, yes. But sometimes… the warning is not in fear. The warning is in that silence which moves something inside and goes away.
