My House

Really, really enjoyed this - excellent low-fi production that makes an asset out of its budgetary constraints. This is a taut thriller that grips throughout, maintaining the tension and then sticking the landing via a series of third act twists. Solid cast - particularly Mirren Mack (from the excellent Sex Education) as Carla, who is very convincing in a complex part - and good pacing kept me intrigued, invested and guessing throughout. Really enjoyed the score and clever use of handheld and security camera footage to build atmosphere - the intensity was maintained throughout. Highly recommended.

Really enjoyed the tight suspense in this clever story...the acting was good and casting spot on..all set within the house which seemed nicely claustrophobic tying in with the drama.. There is a fair amount of texting which adds a modern twist and the camera travels round with the protagonists keeping up the close quarters of the story...very little colour but her attachment to her rose themed curtains gave a nice touch to her confinement.

The father was gruff and at times intimidating but it was obvious he also cared deeply for her but had just lost the plot!

Would definitely recommend viewing.

Pretty slow and nothing really happens. Anti-climatic and I hated how it was shot. Didn't realize camcorder filming the entire time. How does she learn to use the iphone so quickly! The ending was so eh. Skip this and I love and want to support indie. Great design work but again just too darn slow and took too long to get to the end. I had to stick with it since I paid for it! Not unwatchable but better free. The acting was great although the girl was a bit annoying as well. And why did the guy at the door not just tell the truth instead of going back and forth. Like lord have mercy just TELL HER! Lol.

This was gripping from start to finish. The plot was tense and the audience teased with clues throughout. I felt it could have gone a number of different directions which left me keen to get to the end and the big reveal. Whilst the end was quick it was satisfying and rewarding. I would highly recommend. An afternoon well spent.

The acting was brilliant especially the father and daughter who both gave brilliant performances in my opinion.

The only slight negative was that it was quite dark (colour-wise) but in a way that was in keeping with the plot and surroundings. I see in the comments above complaints about the filming but I felt this added to the suspense.

All in all I really enjoyed it.

First of all the acting was surprisingly very good. I'm looking forward to seeing what Mirren Mack (the actress who player Carla) has in store in future films. The Dad (his name escapes me!) was very good also. It was also fun to see Michelle Collins starring.

I've read through some of the reviews here to see why the rating is what it is, and I get what many people are saying, but personally I really enjoyed it. I liked how it was recorded, it was something different for me. Was it a great film? No, not in my opinion. Was it a good film? Absolutely! If you're into thrillers, you'll likely enjoy it also.
