    Gaslighting and Plot Twists at their Finest!!!

    I enjoyed this film very much and was lucky enough to see it at it's Yuba City, CA premier. I was so excited to see a local film that was so well executed! I am a fan of suspense and plot twists and this film will give you plenty!

    Shot in a small farming community North of Sacramento, the landscape is extraordinary. With orchards and fields as a backdrop the film provides just the right atmosphere.

    The actors do a wonderful job in their roles. The soundtack features several local singers and bands adding to this delightful production.

    Lastly, although this is a thriller/drama/suspense film, be ready for laughs with properly inserted comic elements!

    Phenomenal Movie!

    I had the pleasure of seeing this incredible movie at a film festival earlier this year.

    I wasn't exactly sure what to expect as I knew it hadn't had a big budget and I don't often see films not produced by major studios. I was completely blown away! This film absolutely could rival big studio thrillers.

    The acting, the story, the filming, all drew me in right from the beginning. Lyvia's House clearly written and filmed with great care and vision. It has just the right amount of suspense and mystery to keep your interest throughout. It was one of the best movies I've seen in years. I cannot wait to watch this again!

    Awesome storyline

    Movie was very well written and was full of twists and turns. I never expected the movie to end the way it did. I highly recommend watching this movie. Based on a true story. It's a nail bitter until the very end. Such a cool storyline and setting. The actresses and actors did an amazing job and depicting their characters. It kept me excited and wondering what crazy scenario was next. I cant believe there was a serial killer in such a small town that was so evil. While watching the movie you could truly see and feel what the community and town is like. I would recommend this movie to all people. Fantastic.

    A must watch

    Lyvia's House is a hauntingly gripping film that pulled me in from the very first scene. The pacing is perfect-slow enough to build dread, but never dragging-and the suspense is constant. What starts as a missing person case quickly unfolds into something far more sinister, with layers of secrets buried deep in a quiet town. The cinematography has this eerie beauty to it, and the score adds to the unease in all the right moments.

    The lead actress delivered an incredibly raw performance, and the supporting cast brought depth and authenticity to every interaction. I was completely shocked by the final twist-it's the kind of ending that makes you want to rewatch the whole thing with new eyes. Knowing it was inspired by true events made the whole experience even more chilling. If you're into true crime, psychological thrillers, or small-town mysteries, this is one you won't want to miss. It stays with you.

    • Trivia
      "Lyvia Ricci" as a character is an Italian artist in the screenwriter's mind, because all the artwork shown in the film that is 'Lyvia's' was created by the screenwriter, who is of Italian descent. Once this characterization was established and the character of Lyvia developed, the director decided that, although she is beautifully portrayed by American actress Tara Nichol Caldwell, the one time she speaks in the film (in a flashback) she should be voiced by an actual Italian actress. Enter the award-winning Ilenia D'Avenia, (of La Luce Oltre la Gabbia) who needed to send in only one version of Lyvia's three lines in the film before the director was entranced by her portrayal of Lyvia.

      Tara Manning: Oh, my god. Why'd she do it?

      Mary Ann James: Her husband left her for another woman. Guess she was one of those who couldn't handle that. But... if we're being honest, blood tells.

      Tara Manning: What do you mean?

      Mary Ann James: Well... you know. That whole clan was known for being a little wacky.
