The Perfect House is now playing on a Facebook application, just in time for Halloween

With Halloween around the corner and the desire to watch cringe-inducing horror films at its peak, the social cinema application Milyoni has released a film made specifically for Facebook.

'The Perfect House' premiered on Milyoni's Facebook application on Thursday and is available for viewing for the fee of 50 Facebook credits (equivalent to $5.)

This 82 minute independent film about a newlywed couple that moved into a home with a haunting past and was mad for $150,000, according to IMDB.com.

Directors Kris Hulbert and Randy Kent went into the creation of the film with Facebook distribution in mind, though individual screenings across the U.S. have supplemented the  viewership, and have planed to release the two future sequels in the same manner.

The Perfect House is quite possibly the first feature-length film that was created for viewing via the social networking site.

Facebook has seen a growing number of fan pages add movie applications including Fandor. Of the three applications, Milyoni has the fewest Facebook likes, clocking in at fewer than 400, while Fandor touts 1,000 monthly active users.

I logged into see how simple it was to order and watch a movie via Facebook and found Milyoni's application counter intuitive and was only able to figure out how to watch The Big Lebowski -- not a problem for me since I couldn't love this film any more that I do, but not a good sign for the other films featured on the site.

Fandor's movie watching application was far more intuitive and I was even offered a seven day free pass to watch anything in its large 2,500+ catalog of independent and foreign films -- you better believe I know where I will be this weekend.

After the free week, Fandor is available for a $9.99 per month subscription and seems to be a great option for film fans that desire to see content that would normally only be found at film festivals or during short runs at art houses. 

But if Milyoni still strikes your fancy with its catalog in the hundreds and its selection of big names such as Crash, Apocalypse Now and Harry Potter, the company has also announced its Halloween lineup that will be streaming for 30-40 Facebook credits such as The Blair Witch Project, Leprechaun (which I recommend almost exclusively for its kitch and pre-Friend's Jennifer Aniston), The Dark Knight and Saw. I just hope you have better luck figuring out how to get something streaming -- otherwise enjoy the Big Lebowski.
