Krazy House

Just saw this movie in the theatres as a mystery movie. I think not knowing what the movie was gonna be about and not seeing a trailer was a positive for this movie.

This movie was quite an absurd ride. It starts of like a sitcom (reminded me of Married with Children) and then some evil russian show up in the sitcom. Most of the absurdity worked for me but at the end I think it was a bit too much.

There were some underlying themes about religion and faith, but I didn't think much of it. Might just be goint over my head ;-).

I think the creators can be proud of making a very original and funny movie. 10/10 for creativity and look forward to seeing more from the creators.

Now, I had never heard about the 2024 horror comedy "Krazy House" from writers and directors Steffen Haars and Flip Van der Kuil. But seeing it was a horror comedy that had Nick Frost in the leading role, of course I opted to watch the movie.

Writers Steffen Haars and Flip Van der Kuil delivered a script and storyline that utterly failed to entertain me. The movie is listed as a horror comedy, but there is very little comedy to be found anywhere, and as for the horror aspect, well it has been done and seen better in other movies. I found "Krazy House" to be a disappointing swing and a miss of a horror comedy.

Sure, the acting performances in the movie were fair, but this was hardly among the best of Nick Frost's performances, nor a particularly memorable one either. The only other familiar face on the cast list was Alicia Silverstone.

This movie was not my cup of tea, and it most certainly is not a movie that will ever finds it way back on my screen a second time. Nor is it a movie that I would recommend you to waste 89 minutes on watching.

My rating of "Krazy House" lands on a three out of ten stars.

This movie started out fine and had some good ideas sprinkled throughout. However, it really takes too long for the main storyline to kick in. Then, it just becomes a repetitive loop of stops and starts, cycling through the same basic situation. Even though they had written some pretty outrageous scenarios, the best moments of the movie had no impact because nothing was properly built up. The filmmakers really needed to have few more rewrites done before shooting started. So instead of a cult classic full of iconic scenes, we get a below average satire that becomes a chore to sit through. I really wanted to like it, but you can't just come up with a few good parts, rush to pad out the rest of the story, and then expect people to care.

When i first started watching it i was a little confused because of that "cheap" picture quality.

I thought ok, this is a weird attempt to make a sitcom movie. But step by step the occasions kinda got weirder and weirder in a positive way.

The transfer from sitcom to dark snook in and it got just krazy.

I mean, sure its no masterpiece, but its lovley how that "perfect" family with all that canned laughter turns to absurd dark circumstances....

i would rate it maybe a 6.5 so i went with 7 because i think it deserves little recognition.

Its no "hot fuzz", "gods end" or "shaun of the dead", but definitely worth watching.

I wasn't sure what to expect from Krazy House, but since it starred Nick Frost, I was already sold on watching it. It took me a while to understand what was going on, but the movie presents a sitcom-style family with Nick Frost playing the dad, a religious homemaker. At some point, a group of Russian workers arrives, and things quickly start to spiral out of control.

While this movie has a vastly different plot and tone, the results reminded me of this year's Black Cab: an intriguing premise that ultimately fails to impress, with Nick Frost being the main reason to watch. However, I preferred Krazy House slightly more because it fully embraced its absurdity and seemed to have more fun with it.

Unfortunately, the movie never really captured my attention. With all the absurdity and chaos happening, I often felt overstimulated. Nothing felt impactful, which made it hard to connect with the characters, and as a result, I didn't care much about where the narrative was heading.

The comedy aspects didn't work too well for me, and the film was rarely funny. On the other hand, the gore was well-executed, and there's plenty of action to ensure you won't get bored. The acting was decent but occasionally subpar; however, each actor still managed to portray their character in a way that kept the scenario functional.

Overall, Krazy House is a wild (or "krazy") movie with a fun premise and some clever ideas, but the execution fell short for me. [4,8/10]
