Home Sweet Home: Rebirth

I don't even know if this can be called a movie. What is this garbage? From the acting to the plot, the characters, the writing, I wouldn't even dare to call this a kids' movie. Kids' movies are way more fun to watch and at least have decent acting and a clear point to the story. But this? This is on another level of awfulness.

The only somewhat decent character was the wife. She acted weird at times, too, but at least she felt like the only human in this mess. Even that little girl was annoying. I have seen a lot of young girls or boys who are way more talented. The rest of the characters felt like aliens-anything but human. The way they responded, moved, even talked... it was all just off. Honestly, I felt embarrassed for these actors.

With better acting, this could've been a great experience, especially since the movie has some similarities to "The Green Lantern." But nope, this just felt like a complete waste of 90 minutes.

That's my honest POV after watching this... I don't even know what to call it, just straight-up garbage, tbh.

I was not familiar with this 2025 movie titled "Home Sweet Home: Rebirth" prior to sitting down to watch it. And not knowing anything about the movie, I harbored zero expectations. But I will say that I found the movie's cover/poster interesting enough to actually draw my attention.

Initially I had thought that this movie was a sequel or something, given the 'rebirth' part of the title, but that was apparently not the case. Turns out that it was apparently based on a game.

The storyline in the movie was simplistic, almost to the point of being non-existing. Sure, it made for a fair enough viewing experience, but just don't expect to be using your brain during the 93 minutes that the movie ran for.

I was not familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, a thing that I actually enjoy whenever I sit down to watch a movie. And the acting performances in the movie were fair, despite the fact that the actors and actresses had surprisingly little material to work with.

Visually then the movie was good. I definitely liked the special effects in the movie, though while looking good they hardly did much of anything to add to the lacking storyline.

"Home Sweet Home: Rebirth" is the type of movie that you watch once, and forget about within the coming 24 hours. Yeah, there just wasn't sufficient contents to the script or storyline to make this a memorable movie. And it most definitely is not a movie that you will sit down and watch a second time.

Watchable, sure, but a very forgettable movie at best.

My rating of directors Steffen Hacker and Alexander Kiesl's 2025 movie lands on a generous five out of ten stars.

I've only seen 18 minutes of it and I already know this will be a waste of my time... The acting is horrible.... I'm gonna have to spend hours trying to flip my toes back out.... Extremely cringe! Everything from the fake bald munk, the over-acting kid to the way it's built up... So many stupid episodes where you just know you wouldn't do that in real life.... Ever....

The "villain" is also cringe AF and has a horrible accent that seems put on for the show.... I haven't seen any "monsters" yet but I won't be surprised if the CGI is just horrendous as well.... Why can't they just make monster movies as they did with "Alien" anymore?!?

Story was weak, characters were forgettable and acting was terrible. I am so glad I won't have any memory of this movie to remind me of how bad it was. The CGI wasn't too bad but the demons looked robotic and not scary at all. This movie felt rushed and was probably produced to cash in some quick bucks. There were quite a few moments where my wandered off as it doesn't hold your attention long enough to keep you interested. It is watchable to some degree but I say this with caution. The fact that I looked forward to this movie so much just for it to let me down like this, is very disheartening.

The story, effects were very good. Most of the acting was good. However the biggest let down was the lead. This movie would have been much better served with a better casted lead character.

He started off ok. However as the movie progressed his acting kept falling short more and more. He seemed forced, fake, trying too hard.

I do not know ow if I have seen him else where and this doesn't mean he can't or hasn't done better. But this was definitely a failure. The supporting acting, including the little girl was better.

If the actor sees this please take it as a positive criticism on how to improve. It is not meant to demean you.
