To me, it was refreshing seeing a horror with a small budget acting far better than the latest productions. I got more intrigued with every minute so all in all, it was quite a pleasant surprise.
The story is typical, the execution is good, acting OK, and most of the time the decisions taken by the characters are natural, they don't seem to be written by someone. The bad guys did their job, our heroes the same and at the end of it you get your closure. For that I am thankful to Sweet Home.
If you give it a try and lower your expectations just a little, I'm sure most of you will appreciate this little movie cause it has quite a baggage to offer. I recommend it!
Cheers!

Sexy star Ingrid García Jonsson is that authentically rare Swedish/Spanish badass. Hell, let's be real. She's probably the ONLY one. Director/Co-Writer Rafa Martinez succeeds in slathering on the suspense.
These takeaways notwithstanding, where was the grand dénouement? Rarely has there been a more roundly disappointing conclusion to an otherwise mostly competent horror/thriller than we witness at the back end of "Sweet Home".
And adding to the disappointment, the 1970s pop radio hit "Eres Tu" is introduced at precisely the right moment during a critical climactic scene. But almost as soon as it starts the schmaltzy cum sincere song suddenly vanishes. We DEMAND more MOCEDADES!
With this in mind, I offer a respectfully resolute, and most appropriate, message to the well meaning but ultimately off the mark filmmakers behind "Sweet Home". It's not us.
"It is You".

To me Sweet Home deserves a bit more then it's actual ratings. Okay it's not the greatest movie ever but it's worth watching once. There are a couple good horror parts, the filming and sound also contributes to make it an okay horror movie. Maybe the story might not be the most original and sometimes you wonder why they don't make other more logic decisions to get out of the building they're trapped in but with most cat and mouse horror movies you rarely have any logic. The mixture of Spanish and English was fine for me. I don't mind reading subtitles so it wasn't an issue for me. Ingrid García Jonsson and Bruno Sevilla are the two major actors in Sweet Home and they did a good job. Are there better movies in this genre? For sure, but it was still worth a watch.
That's regarding a character decision very early on in the movie, which is actually one thing that you will immediately pick up when the movie starts. You could say it lays out the work of what is going to happen later on. And while that is not really in favor of the movie and the movie itself takes awhile to actually jump-start, when it does (late), it actually is more than decent.
Let's say the bad guy in this, really deserves that tag. And you could do more with this idea/character. The ending is pretty strong, though whatever direction they'd go, someone would be annoyed by it either way. I thought it was the right way to go ... no pun intended

I'm always on the look-out for a good horror flick and Sweet Home was a delightful treat.
I admit, at the scene in the beginning of the movie where the girl was speaking Spanish with the older gentleman,I stopped watching. I understand Spanish a little, but it seemed like the movie flipped to a foreign language altogether. At that point, I gave up. The next day I decided to continue the movie, simply because the movie is short in length(only 80 minutes). To my surprise, the Spanish dialogue was only a few minutes long and really didn't affect my viewing pleasure nor hinder my ability to follow the story.
I'm glad I decided to give it another try because it was honestly a pretty decent movie. Of course a few cliché moments in the film, but I've certainly seen worse. This film had me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was going to happen next.
The movie moves along pretty quickly and has action throughout. I found myself thinking what would I do in this situation?
Although a fair amount of the reviews are negative, In my opinion, if you like horror/slasher films, check this one out! Honest rating 7/10.
