House of Abraham

Absolutely brilliantly-penned film, a tour de force by all actors, a well-developed thriller/horror film that you must RUN to see!

Natasha Henstridge is as stunning as ever; Lukas Hassel is as handsomely menacing as ever; and Lin Shaye is as Lin Shaye as ever... if not more so! The rest of the cast is incredible!

This is everything you want out of a film in this genre! Twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat. A never seen before story. Brilliant performances. Beautiful locations! And some perfectly-uncomfortable scenes that will grip you tight, steal your breath, shake you up, and leave you wanting to run home- yet still want to stay for more! Highly recommend you see this gem!

House of Abraham commits to sharing the human condition and the choices we make when we are at our most vulnerable. It's rich in layers that continue to unfold after watching the film. I appreciate the exploration of what happens when manipulation takes control of the psyche, and the weight the characters carry as a result is intriguing. I could feel the inner conflict of the characters. It's also clear that the writer and director were thoughtful and careful in their exploring the themes. It's easy to fall into cliches, which you'll understand what I mean once you see the film. The twist is cathartic to top it all off. Well acted, deep and thought provoking!

Great movie with even greater performers. First of its kind horror film that left the movie theater wanting more!! Hoping for a part 2 with deeper context behind the origin story, there's so many directions that can possibly be explored in a 2nd part. The storyline gives you just enough detail to understand throughout the movie yet leaves enough space for questions and assumptions that are either confirmed or denied by series of plot twists that make total sense when it all comes together. An easy exciting watch that is very cleverly written and directed, highlighting modern day mental health misconceptions and stereotypes with perfect comedic relief & timing.

We saw this at the wonderful Kan Kan Theater in Indy last night July 19, 2025 at a showing with Producer Vance Hinton present for pre and post showing comments. The movie pulls you in, shocks you and then has a huge curve ball leading to a very satisfying ending. I'm not sure there is any movie I've ever seen to even compare it to. Mr. Hinton answered numerous post movie questions from the audience and he was very informative and humorous about how this independent movie came to be. That was a very nice bonus appreciated by all there ending in much applause for his comments. The movie is a 9/10 as it is so unique and powerful. Highly recommend.

House of Abraham is thought-provoking and button-pushing at its finest.

Hassel's script and Belcher's direction keep the action moving forward even as the film takes its time building suspense through the excellent character building by each of the talented cast members.

Hassel's Abraham is chilling, manipulative and malignant - wrapped in a seductive shell of intelligent charm. Lin Shaye as Beatrice is a tour de force of subtle insanity.

While Belcher keeps the tension dialed up the film manages to score outside of the genre with it's handling of multiple sensitive subjects too often glossed over or ignored.

The script keeps you guessing until the very end. See it!
