Nobody's Home

Quite honestly, Nobody's Home stuck in my head like no other film has. Although I am sincerely encouraging of all film makers (particularly first time filmmakers), I am also someone who tends to have incredibly high standards when it comes to cinema as a whole. With that being said, Nobody's Home shocked me in the best possible way. It is a film that will question the psychologically hindered or the emotionally stunted and will give the darkest and deepest of souls a sense of comfort in this lonely world. Louisa Erlich, the writer, put together a masterpiece that shows the audience that mental health is more than just an Instagram hashtag, and that even the most disturbed amongst us feel deeply and desparatly crave love. This film straddles the line perfectly between darkness and lightness, and it shows us that moral ambiguity is the most human thing of all. Each character is carefully crafted and nuanced, and you will begin to feel as if you identify with each and every one of them by the emd of film. Everything feels real, yet this film is truly one for the most imaginative. A real thinker's film. Each and every actor did a phenomonal job, and I have no doubt in my mind that the entire cast will go far. Particularly Erlich who breaks your heart as the beautifully fragile yet unpredictable Theodora. BRAVO.

This is the perfect Netflix and chill movie. It gave me so much 90's nostalgia and the psychological thrillers from that time. It was such a ride and so much fun to watch. It's so refreshing to watch such an entertaining indie film. This movie has such a unique tone. It makes you laugh, but It also keeps you on the edge of your seat. You never know if something awful is about to happen. Also, it keeps you wondering at the end who actually committed the murder. I watched this movie with my girls and at the end we all had different theories of who was the killer, and we were all rooting for different characters.

All i have to say is WOW!!! A true master piece!!! Nobody's home will keep you guessing until the very end of the movie! I was on the edge of my seat with questions the entire time. Just when you think that you have it all figured out... you don't! It is a beautifully executed mind game, with so much detail, twists and turns. After watching this film for the first time i immediately wanted to go back and watch the film again because i wanted to see what clues i had missed and i wanted to place all of the pieces accordingly. I highly, highly recommend seeing nobody's home, you will not be left disappointed!!

"Nobody's Home" is a gripping psychological thriller. It will also make you laugh in the most uncomfortable of times. The film's dark undertones and the intricate depth of its characters create an immersive experience that lingers long after the credits roll.

Each scene is meticulously crafted, weaving a narrative that is as unpredictable as it is compelling. The dialogue is sharp, and the plot twists are executed with precision, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats. The writer's ability to explore complex themes through nuanced storytelling is truly commendable, making "Nobody's Home" a standout in its genre.

As the lead actress Louisa Erlich delivers a performance that is both powerful and haunting. Her portrayal is layered with emotion and intensity, bringing an incredible depth to the character. Her ability to convey vulnerability and strength simultaneously is mesmerizing, making her performance one of the film's highlights.

The dark undertones of "Nobody's Home" are beautifully integrated into the storyline, enhancing the film's overall atmosphere. The tension is palpable, and the sense of foreboding is maintained throughout, creating a chilling and immersive experience for the viewers. The cinematography and score complement the narrative perfectly, adding to the film's eerie and unsettling mood (did I mention Ms. Erlich is an incredible singer).

The depth of the characters in "Nobody's Home" is another aspect that sets it apart. Each character is meticulously developed, with their own unique backstories and motivations. This attention to detail allows the audience to connect with the characters on a deeper level, making their journeys all the more impactful. Erlich's performance, along with the extremely strong supporting cast, brings these multifaceted characters to life in a way that is both believable and captivating.

The film's dark undertones, combined with its complex characters and gripping narrative, make it a must-watch for fans of psychological thrillers. The story, especially the ending, leaves a lasting impression.

Well, I fell for the 9.2 rating this movie had when I was looking up the details lol. No, this is certainly not a 10/10 like the first few reviews that were posted. I'm giving it 2 stars: 1 is because some of the music and scenery is ok, and 1 is for some of the awkward scenes. I do appreciate a movie that's awkward and makes me feel uncomfortable and this tried to do that, it really did. But it just falls flat in a million ways. The acting is rough and the storyline ridiculous. My biggest gripe is how unrealistic it is. If anyone found themselves in a similar situation, none of us would stick around and keep hanging out with this couple. Would never happen. And all the characters suck, so there's no one to root for.

Rented it for $2.99 on Amazon. If you're curious, wait until you see it on sale for $0.99 or less.
