Home with a View of the Monster

This Movie was very strange. Not really in a good way either. I'd give it 3 stars, plus 1 for weirdness factor. 4/10

Most of the actors were fine and the way it's filmed is pretty good for being a low budget. I'm usually a fan of indie films, but this could've been much better. Perhaps there is a moral to the story, but if that was the movies purpose it should not have been a "thriller". I love horror/thriller flicks and they are pretty much all I watch, so I was hopeful this would be good. Sadly, I was very disappointed. Perhaps if it wasn't so slow and I didn't feel like I just watched a 4 hour movie, I wouldn't be as annoyed that I just wasted my time. Lastly, not really sure what the point of the movie was. Don't get me wrong, I love cliffhangers and movies that end and you're thinking to yourself "wtf" (in a good way), but this movie had no point (unless there a moral of the story).

With reviews literally spanning the range from 1 to 10 I'm here to tell you the truth.

It isn't terrible. The music definitely is but the movie is engaging and well acted.

We do have the now mandatory interracial couple to keep the snowflakes and liberal trend enforcers happy but we also have a pretty interesting story. It's not a simple story but one with some well plotted twists and turns. There's depth to the writing and the direction and acting was able to pull it off. I really feel it was mostly let down by some poor musical choices. A little more backstory as to the genesis of the haunting would've also been nice.

All in all it wasn't a bad way to spend 90 minutes. Don't believe the haters...nor the ballyhoo.

I really enjoy this movie. I think it bends the horror genre pretty well. It's a great first feature for these directors, especially seeing what they were able to accomplish with a small budget and a fierce determination to get it done. Hopefully we'll see many more from them.

I'm watching what is listed as horror movie. The owners are staying outside in a car while they rented out their house. She can't even afford shoes not full of holes that she has to tape together. First scene kids appearing in different places, oh wait, there is simple reason. They decide to go back to what I think is a run down shack (note shoes). She finds weapon "what's this?" shock! What, she missed where they were staying? Turns house is nothing less than a mansion. HOW?? By then I'm wondering who made this mess and I'm only in the first 11 minutes. Did the obvious - came here to see what that was. Find 10 stars reviews. That is my clue, the thing is going to be so bad, that who ever made it had to have his pals give it great reviews. Decided not to waste my time. Get real, I will watch movies with seven and even three but TEN??? Hate people trying to fool me into watching something they know stinks.
