House on Eden (2025) Parents Guide

House on Eden is Rated R by Motion Picture Rating (MPA) for pervasive language, some bloody violent content, and graphic nudity.

Diving into House on Eden feels like cozying up to a campfire tale but someone’s forgotten to light the fire. Directed by and starring Kris Collins (aka KallMeKris) alongside Celina Myers (CelinaSpookyBoo) and Jason‑Christopher Mayer, this 2025 found‑footage horror promised a fresh twist on the genre. Instead, it delivers something familiar almost too familiar a haunted house in the woods with influencers faking scares and fading tension.

The Story & What It Tries to Say

The story follows three paranormal investigators Kris (Kris Collins), Celina (CelinaSpookyBoo), and their cameraman Jay as they head into the dense woods to film a ghost-hunting documentary at an infamous, supposedly haunted house: the titular House on Eden. Known online for faking supernatural encounters for entertainment, the trio sets out expecting another playful night of fabricating scares. But the woods and the house itself have something else in mind.

As they travel deeper into the forest, strange things begin to happen. Their GPS reroutes them mysteriously, taking them off their original path. Wildlife disappears. Their phones lose service. Tensions rise as the crew starts to sense they’re being watched, but they dismiss it, chalking it up to nerves or, worse, their own prank-loving tendencies.

When they arrive at the house, it’s worse than they’d imagined abandoned, crumbling, yet eerily untouched. They begin filming, cracking jokes, fabricating possession scenes, and reacting dramatically to bumps and creaks. But this time, something reacts back. Doors close on their own. Static bursts from their equipment. One by one, things start to go very wrong.

Jay disappears first gone without a sound, leaving only his camera behind. As the night progresses, reality begins to unravel. The house doesn’t behave like a normal space; rooms shift, time dilates, and the lines between hallucination and truth blur. Kris and Celina are stalked by an unseen presence, something ancient, territorial, and deeply intelligent.

Their faux-horror personas peel away, revealing raw panic and regret. They aren’t playing ghost hunters anymore they’re prey.

By the end, House on Eden transforms from a cheeky influencer horror flick into a psychological survival nightmare. We’re left with broken footage, haunted expressions, and one final shot: a camera recording an empty room, flickering ominously as footsteps echo toward it.

That said, House on Eden is most successful when it leans into existential horror when it stops trying to be clever and simply lets us feel the isolation, the collapse of control, and the horror of realizing you’ve stepped over a line you didn’t even know was there.

The house itself is a metaphor, of course an Eden turned rotten. A place where the desire for fame, attention, and curated terror is punished by something primal and real. It doesn’t care about your followers. It wants your soul.

In that way, House on Eden isn’t just about ghosts it’s about consequence. And while it doesn’t always nail the execution, the bones of a genuinely thoughtful horror film are there creeping just beneath the surface. Highly Recommended: Happy Gilmore 2 (2025) Parents Guide

Performances & Characters
Kris and Celina play themselves or versions thereof—with their online personalities carrying over into the film. Sadly, that’s where the energy stops. Their natural charisma online doesn’t translate into cinematic tension. Jay is overshadowed, even though Mayer doubles as cinematographer and editor.
Reddit reactions are telling: some fans find them “annoying,” doubting the acting; others hope the film surprises. Quote from one viewer:

“That chick is so annoying no way I’m making it through a whole movie” Reddit.
Another admitted:
“It looks the same as every other Found Footage movie I’ve ever seen” Reddit.
Those voices are hard to ignore it’s a performance stuck somewhere between YouTube energy and true horror storytelling.

Direction, Visuals & Pacing
Collins’s direction is earnest, but that earnestness never quite builds tension. Cinematography and editing by Mayer carry a DIY vibe fine for digital, but low-fi when projecting on a cinema screen. Reddit users complained of poor audio and low resolution, noting the experience may grate under bright theater lights.
The pacing is brisk 78 minutes don’t leave much room to breathe but that speed comes at the cost of atmosphere. The scares feel perfunctory rather than earned, and the tonal shifts—when they happen flutter rather than plunge. Highly Recommended: The Home (2025) Parents Guide

House on Eden (2025) Parents Guide

Violence & Gore: This is found-footage horror at its starkest. Expect eerie vanishings, panicked screams echoing through creaking hallways, and violent paranormal encounters. Graphic elements are held back there isn’t a river of blood but the tension and sudden bursts of horror leave a lasting sting. One moment you’ll gasp; the next, your skin will crawl. The scares sting mostly through mood and unexpectedness, but when violence lands, it lands hard.

Language: Brace yourself: this film is peppered with profanity. Characters curse frequently especially in fear and panic. F-bombs and other expletives fly freely, so if foul language bothers you or your kids, this is a warning label, not a suggestion.

Nudity & Sexual Content: There’s at least one brief scene of graphic nudity, though it’s not sexual in context it’s meant to shock and unsettle. It feels intrusive and jarring, not erotic.

Mature Themes & Atmosphere

The film delves into possession, supernatural dread, and creeping despair. The isolated forest setting heightens feelings of vulnerability and claustrophobia. It doesn’t flirt with fear it bullies you with it. If you or your teen are sensitive to psychological terror or the idea of being prey, this one’s a no-go for the faint-hearted.

Final Thoughts & Recommendation

House on Eden is a quick, lightweight horror flick for fans of the duo’s online personas or the genre’s casual streams. But for those seeking something beyond influencer-driven jump scares and found-footage tropes, this feels like warmed-over leftovers.
If you’re curious about KallMeKris and Celina’s leap into horror, or you’ve got a low bar for scares and short runtime, give it a watch. Otherwise, this one won’t haunt you or linger.
