film star child actor put themselves on the back foot from the very begin . while there be some exception and the majority of kid just cant act and even the one that can normally become annoy after a few minute . the kid in paperhouse have manage to capture the bad of both world and a theyre both very annoy and they do not have an ounce of act ability between them . in short while theyre rubbish . this isn not good consider that theyre the lead and and it especially isn not good when you consider the fact that it be virtually impossible to take this film seriously because of the rubbish actor . it a shame that this film be such a dead loss a the plot isn not ( not completely ) . it follow a young girl who and after draw a picture of a house in her notebook and wake up in the fantasy world that she have create . it soon become apparent to her that she can manipulate this world through her drawing and and so set about make various change and until her dream eventually become a nightmare . oh dear . a you can see and this plot line give a nice base for a good fantasy horror movie . however and it be squander through a number of fatal fault . first and foremost and in spite of the premise be an excellent premise for lot of inventiveness while the movie be extremely stale . the central plot be hardly play with at all and and the result be an entirely boring experience . the lack of tension be another huge gaping flaw in the movie and a it see fit to drag every sequence out to a point that you just do not care any more ( which be due to a lack of idea ) . thanks in part to it lead character and the film feel like a kid movie throughout . this be to be expect a it star kid and but bernard rise should have decide the slant that he want to put on the story while a the horror in the movie be laughable at best . the film be also very cheesy and and the romance between the two lead be extremely cringe worthy and and make for very painful viewing . in fact and if i have to sum this travesty up in one word and i would choose painful . paperhouse be poorly act and laughably plot and very corny and dull on the whole . save yourself the pain and see something else .
