Homebound

Despite what many reviews say, "Homebound" is indeed a creepy thriller that is actually well-paced with strong acting overall. Parts of it are predictable, but that is enough to keep us watching to see where it is going. The biggest problem is, the film takes us exactly where we suspected all along, and then leaves us hanging anyway. Some see this as a strength, but I think it's a copout. Why bother to explain anything when we can leave it all up in the air? In the end, there wasn't any twist and what really occurred was also left to the imagination. This means it is not so much a complete film as it is an outline that the viewer is supposed to finish. It's too bad, because the film itself deserves more.

Worth a watch. I saw the 4.2 IMBD rating, iI decided to give a go anyway It was well acted, well produced with almost no plot holes so common in mysteries. The atmosphere is ideal, a creepy but beautiful old house with too many rooms and isolated in the country away from neighbors and city. Iwas favorably surprised at 1/3 through and still at 2/3 through. It wasn't a slow burn (like many of the reviews reported), nearly every little scene advanced the plot enough to keep my interest: I wasn't just waiting for the inevitable or bored by innocuous and unimportant scenes. . By 2/3rds though I suspected the twist (which is pro forma for this genre) and with few alternative directions it wasn't too hard to guess and that was a little disappointing. . But we still enjoy the lead beginning to put the pieces together and remain enthralled about her outcome.. If I were to find a reason to mark it lower, it's because it doesn't have a supernatural component like most Horror genre films. But it's still a horror/mystery film. The biggest let down is that the end is too ambiguous. We're pretty sure how it will conclude, but there's some doubt and that's troubling. Cudos to the teen actors, I found them believable and delightfully creepy..

Why Is This Horror? Thriller Is More Like It, Mmm, It's Not That Bad But Really, You Shouldn't Expect Much And There's a Young Actress In The Film Named "Hattie Gotobed" Well This Movie Should Have Went To Bed And Stayed In Bed And Never Ever Get Up Out Of Bed Again, Nawl, Really Mediocre From Start To Finish!

Started mildly interesting and went downhill from there. I love a slow urn character study horror but this had no real story, no character growth, nothing happened and the. It ends with no resolution or explanation.

I strongly feel someone had a great idea but insufficient writing skill to turn it into a cohesive story' as this was just worthless.

This was the stupidest movie I've ever saw it makes no sense. It doesn't have a point we never see the mother or find out what happened to her. The movie come on like this is going to be good but nope it's horrible and a waste of acting I give --13 stars for this. It was wrote and shot over night!!! We didn't understand the father, the kids, the plot lol nothing made sense in this movie at all. It was t scary what so ever because it was so dam dumb you will try to figure it out and just give up and wish you would have just watched something else. Save your popcorn and hot dog for another movie.
