    Very profound and moving love story

    A good loving moving story that moves at a good pace, packs a punch and delivers. Mr. Ameer continues to improve his directorial skills with another fine production to add to his ongoing growth. House of Adam is a wonderful, compelling story line with a strong moral agenda. The body shots of the two male actors are alluring and provocative yet artistically balanced. The cast is very attractive and appealing. Good casting. Thumbs Up! The story is very intricate and emotional with a very gratifying ending. There is justice to the ending. I felt vindicated after what was done to the Adam character. Overall, The House of Adam will be a love story to remember for a very long time.

    Not all bad ,....just most of it!

    This movie had the potential to be a great movie, however, it is not. The best part of this movie, and the part that kept me watching, was the actor that played Anthony (John Shaw). His acting wasn't the best but talking about a hunk! This guy is beautiful! Woof! Without giving away the plot ( was there just one???) I will say that one of the worst things about this movie is the sound quality. Whoever did the sound for this movie was either new or deaf. Also the story lines were glued together however without any attempt to make it flow. Even the love story wasn't developed in a way that love could be seen between the two main men in the movie. It was an attempt and even if it made it to the glitter awards in 2006, it sure could have been a lot better!

    Great love scene . . . little else

    Notwithstanding that "The House of Adam" is meant to be a mainstream gay movie; that Anthony (John Shaw), who is gay curious and a major cutie-hunk and Adam (Jared Cadwell) who is openly gay, and a close second in looks; that there is a whole minute of wonderful, convincing, and naked lovemaking (sorry, no frontal) between Anthony and Adam 41 minutes into the movie (that alone may be sufficient for many of us) --- notwithstanding all that (to which I give a thumbs up), "The House of Adam" is a horrible movie by most any other movie making standard. A big thumbs down.

    Shaw's and Cadwell's acting abilities are either sophomoric or else truly suffer from the bad script, direction, and editing, or rather the lack thereof. Their lovemaking scene is nevertheless convincing, and may have more to do with their really being into each other, considering the rest of their scripting and acting.

    Writer-director Jorge Amer's (Bonus Feature) self-congratulation as to his movie making skills is off the wall.

    So, the script and lack thereof is a thumbs down. Overall, the acting is thumbs down with just the slightest exception for Shaw and Cadwell. Alexis Karriker as Nina might have been the best except for the limitations expressed above. Far and away the absolute worst, and insufferable, acting was by Thomas Michael Kappier as Albert Ross, Anthony's father having not even of elementary school acting quality. He truly represents a colossal casting failure.

    The actors playing the new cabin owners are worthy of truly bad acting nominations as well.

    If only the production, editing and post production were as good as the trailer, this movie would have been quite something else. The trailer presents well put together clips of scenes that drew me into renting the movie in the first place. That, and the hope that this gay-centered movie, was supposedly prominently played and touted at gay film festivals.

    Overall, the movie is a big thumbs down.

    Is it worth buying/renting and watching it? Only if you have an irresistible yen to see the naked love making scene, and a few minutes of semi-convincing dialogue between Anthony and Adam. Or if you truly just enjoy watching bad movies.

    Warning! this movie is a shocker.

    Hi guys, this is my first review and I would had to have picked the worst movie to review. As I only watched 5 minutes of it but trust me you could see this movie was going nowhere. The acting was deplorable, the camera work and lighting looked as though it was shot and run by a pack of 10 year old's. No offence to 10 year olds.I just couldn't take anymore I got off my couch, took the The House of Adam DVD out of the DVD player and threw it in the garbage. Maybe if you are a Colin Farrell fan this movie may interest you, because the character in the movie, Anthony, is a Colin Farrell look a like. But that is as far as it goes, he certainly will never have col's acting abilities. I gave this movie a rating of 1 (awful) only because there were no minuses in the drop down list cheers.

    HOT MOVIE! Lead Actor a young Colin Farrel!

    I have seen The House of Adam a couple of times, and thoroughly enjoyed the film. The Star of this film, is a dead ringer for a young version of Colin Farrel, extremely sexy, and totally believable in his character. I do not understand those that would give this film a "low rating." It is known that at times, competitive Producers will use this tactic to "bang" someone else's work, and I think this is unfair, as well as unprofessional. This work should be admired for what it is, a fine film with a very "HOT!" new face in Hollywood. The world of Independent films is a tough enough road, without others trying to berate a good production. I would recommend this film to anyone, and I look forward to the release on Home Video DVD!

      When Adam's mother consoles him after he quits his job, we can see him and his mother in the living room, on a couch, with a coffee table and remote in front of them. The phone rings and Adam answers and in the next shot, the phone is on the coffee table beside the remote.

      Helen: So, what's next?

      Mark: We'll wait and see.

      Helen: Shouldn't we offer him something?

      Mark: Helen, we don't know the guy. Who's to tell he's some fugitive or worst... a child molester, or serial killer.

      Helen: Mark... he's not a fugitive. I did see great sadness in his eyes. I think there is a lot more to him.

      Mark: Of course, we hardly know the guy remember?
