Suburban Nightmare

I'm so used to watching shockingly bad films what when one comes along thats pretty decent or basically not so crappy it makes a nice change

It's basically a couple who's relationship seems to be based on the fact they both love to kill and as the evening progresses they get more and more angry with each other and the fight to the death is on.

D grade acting, a very bland storyline and all around terrible movie. Don't waste your time.

Trent Haaga and Brandy Little, who are regulars of Troma style b movie horror, prove here that they can handle a serious genre film. The script is top notch, with a lot of dark humor, and subtle commentary on relationships. They act just like any normal suburban couple would, they have a daughter who they love dearly, they fight over everything, but they also generally love each other. The only difference is they kill, maim, and torture people. Bloodletting was a similar film you'd enjoy if you liked this, but I think Suburban Nightmare is the superior film, with the best actors, and social commentary. I actually liked Trent and Brandy's characters' and found myself rooting for them to work things out, I know thats sick, but thats just a testament to there performances. The film has some interesting twists, that I won't spoil, just see this beautiful, blood splattered love story right away. The ending brought a tear to my eye.

What a twisted little flick!

Suburban Nightmare tells the story of The Rosenblad's, a husband/wife serial killer team who have a marital spat after one kills some dinner guests out of turn. Call it The War of The Rosenblads.

Trent Haaga gives his best performance to date as Charles, patriarch of the family. His demented turn delivers the movies best scenes, and further cements his place as indie film's go to guy for scene stealing prowess.

Brandy Little really shows her chops as Deborah, the insanely overzealous, blood lusting "better half" of the relationship. She really struts her stuff near the climax of the flick, keeping toe to toe with Haaga's performance, thus delivering the best on screen psychopathic duo since Natural Born Killers.

Jon Keeyes has really delivered with Suburban Nightmare. I look forward to seeing what all involved with this gem has in store next.

This poor excuse for a "black comedy" is virtually unwatchable for several reasons. First, the supposed dark humor is extremely weak and redundant. Second, the acting is mundane at best. Third, the story of bickering serial killer spouses is like watching an endless family argument. If your idea of entertainment is small talk at the dinner table, then "Suburban Nightmare" is your movie, otherwise steer clear of this shot on video clunker. Speaking of video, technically everything is so dark that there is nothing visual of interest, which only emphasizes the boredom generated by a totally unacceptable screenplay. Not recommended for obvious reasons. - MERK
