Home Sweet Home

I like the home invasion premise but the killer made some stupid errors kinda like he wanted to get caught. I didn't like that part of it. Otherwise it was sorta entertaining. 4/10

I read a few good reviews about this one and decided to watch it. Now I want those 80 minutes of my life back..those 80 minutes that I spent on watching the disaster of a movie, which is Home sweet home. The beginning shows a mysterious man ,who is the invader and whose face is revealed only in the end,that too for a split second. The beginning itself drags for so long..if I'd known this earlier,I'd taken a quick nap through it. You feel the pressure build up a bit,then you are on the border of getting bored,then you are just plain bored..and even then,the movie is still dragging towards some "twist". An hour into the movie,and then you see some action,which is quite horrible ,but by then,you are so fed up,you don't care.There's "the" twist in the end,but I don't think even the actors cared about that one. It tries to give an art house film feel and that too,a boring one and yes,it succeeds at that.

I'm the kind of viewer who can suspend disbelief for even the worst of movies, as long as there is SOME kind of redeeming quality by the end...

there was absolutely none in this utter time waster.

it seems to attempt to create "tension" by dragging out useless scenes throughout the entire movie, and just creates a frustrating experience, where even the simplest scene takes like 15 minutes to get through.

the infuriating pacing set in the intro does not improve or pay off in any way, so if you hate it by the first few minutes, don't bother wasting any more of your time; it does not get ANY better.

not the worst movie ever made, but certainly the worst movie I've seen in at least the last two years.

Can I give this a ZERO? Pointless...No story. Hardly any talking. Just a few jumps and lots of blood. What a waste of time. There's an hour an a half I'll never get back!

"Home Sweet Home" is nice take on the "Home Invasion" genre. The film is structured quite differently than most other horror films. The beginning of this film is a lengthy and quite creepy sequence where the villain breaks into the home, checks it out, and settles in for the evening. There is real tension for the return of the owners and they do show up -- a young married couple coming home after an evening at the theater. They settle in briefly and then the uninvited guest makes his appearance known...

"Home Sweet Home" is way more effective than you'd expect. Part of it is the structure -- unlike many horror film, it doesn't spend 45 minutes making us try to know the victims. I know filmmakers to this in an attempt to make us like the victims and not want bad things to happen to them, but all too often it just makes them annoying. This film does it right -- the entire home invasion concept is enough to make us fear for the couple, and when they prove, after a brief time, to be a pleasant enough couple then BAM! It's on!

Lots to like about this flick. Unlike so many horror films, this film is well-lit and you can clearly see everything that is happening. The acting is outstanding all around. Much of the film is centered around the psycho versus the wife, and the actors nail it. Shaun Benson, in a virtually silent role, is creepy as the invader. And Meghan Heffern is wonderful as the terrorized wife -- you can really feel the fear. Many of the questions that you think are going to be left dangling are answered in a clever ending, so that means that from its creepy unconventional beginning to its shocking ending "Home Sweet Home" is a success.

Greatest flick ever? Nope. But definitely worth checking out.
