# A Haunted House (2013) — Television & Cinema Intelligence Dossier

> **Archytele Living Vault Canonical Record**: https://www.archytele.com/show/a-haunted-house-2013

## Executive Summary & Cultural Positioning

A Haunted House is a 2013 supernatural comedy film that parodies the found-footage horror genre. The film follows Malcolm and Kisha as they settle into their new residence, only to discover their dream home is inhabited by a malevolent demon. When Kisha falls under the demon's influence and becomes possessed, Malcolm seeks assistance to resolve the supernatural crisis while maintaining his romantic relationship. His efforts to address the paranormal situation lead him to consult religious and spiritual experts, including a priest and a psychic, as well as a specialized ghost-hunting team. The film employs mockumentary-style cinematography to satirize the documentary approach common in contemporary horror movies. Through its comedic lens, the story examines how the protagonists navigate both their relationship challenges and the increasingly bizarre supernatural events affecting their household. The movie uses humor to deconstruct typical horror film conventions while following the couple's attempts to restore normalcy to their living situation.
