The Perfect Husband

As a horror film fan, I have wanted to see "The Perfect Husband" for a while, ever since I saw the violent trailer and clips. It does not disappoint in the gory violence department, but I found it to be too short, with an abrupt ending. Still, the film is a haunting exploration of the darkest corners of the human psyche; a portrait that doubles, or maybe masquerades, as a slasher.

Gabriella Wright is good in the role of Viola, although her role does not demand much from her, except for a few scenes of considerable emotional range. The final minutes of the movie include an unbelievable twist that is sure to leave the viewer in a state of shock.

This Italian film is not a must-see film by any means, but it is a must for art-house and horror film fans.

I caught the trailer a couple of months ago and it looked interesting even if it looked like something that I've seen before. Having seen this movie, it ended up being a very well done psychological thriller with good atmosphere, great acting, and some well done suspense.

Good: I like how subtle this movie approached the story. The first 30 minutes or so are a bit slow. It helped set the premise and develop the characters making them a strange couple with a family tragedy. Things starts to slowly unravel and the suspense is handled well with some great dread building throughout the movie. Then the horror starts and it is intense and rather freaky.

Watched it last night and just loved it...Well done. I felt that the movie was reminiscent of the works of Alexandre Aja. The gratuitous blood and gore of most movies of today was replaced by suspense and off camera incidence and handled very well. As an avid movie watcher I can usually catch the direction a story is going in by at least 1/3 the way in. Not so with this one. Where most stories have a twist at the end, I found this ending to be more of a corkscrew. The photography is excellent and the production design looks remarkable. Good acting by all the actors involved (bret roberts,gabriella wright). This is, in my opinion, a must see for even the average movie watcher. Nothing is as it seems... A great experience of madness with a good final twist

A well made indie movie. I had not heard of it

The looney relationship between the main 2 characters was not believable. There was no chemistry between the 2 people that made you believe they were ever even married. Throw in a couple plot twists and you get a half hearted thriller that just doesn't really pass the grade. 3/10

Nice psychological horror film. It's a low budget movie but it's stylish and well filmed. It is disgustingly brutal, and emotionally draining but it's beautiful and artistically drenched. The story is heavy with rich symbolism, the acting is brave! The cinematography is genuinely beautiful, nice plot, nice soundtrack and good atmosphere. The movie is alienating, loved the final twist.... A very stylish, tense film, truly a suspense-thriller-horror to be proud of from the Italy, It marks a return to the style of old school horror directors such as Dario Argento, Tobe Hooper and John Carpenter. i'd suggest you give it a watch
