Home Sweet Home

First of all, when I first watched the trailer of the movie I didn't liked it and I didn't had high expectations about it. But, I decided to watch it because I love home invasion movies. Eventually, it was as bad as I had imagined and I didn't enjoyed it. The plot of the movie was kinda interesting, but not innovative because there are too many movies similar to this one. Sadly, the storyline wasn't well-written, nor well-explained and it was very simple. The characters weren't interesting, nor well-developed and they were annoying. The filming location of the movie was mainly inside a big house in the middle of nowhere. The casting was just fine and their performances were descent. I have to admit, it was a bloody movie and the killcount was brutal, even though there weren't many death scenes. Unfortunately, it wasn't an intense movie and there weren't any chase scenes in the house. Also, it wasn't a scary movie and there weren't any jumpscares. In my opinion, the opening scene was the worst part of the movie, because it was slow paced and boring. By the way, the intruder's mask was kinda creepy, lol. Overall, "Home Sweet Home" wasn't a nice home invasion horror film, it was uninteresting, nor suspenseful and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

I like the home invasion premise but the killer made some stupid errors kinda like he wanted to get caught. I didn't like that part of it. Otherwise it was sorta entertaining. 4/10

I've just seen this movie today in Lyon during the (tremendous) "Hallucinations Collectives" festival, presented by the author David Morlet himself. The session promised to be pleasant and I watched it in good mood. But I eventually felt sorry for him because I've found nothing good in this movie ! The whole scenario is only a tiny short movie pitch. The very few characters have no personality, I had no single reason to get attached to these caricatures of normality. The bad guy has no motivation, except the usual thrill of impunity, easy way to provide free horror. But there is actually no horror here, nothing traumatic. Despite the "home invasion" subject, which carries very strong intimate fears, the directing provides no tension, no suspense, no surprise. There actually is a final twist, but evidences are sown several minutes ahead and spoil the thing. The overall treatment is sooo slow that you really have plenty of time to think about this ending ! Needless to say I found no second degree, no subtext, no fantasy or message of any kind. In a few words, to me this movie is bad and cheap.

First off I need to say this, the cinematography is the best part of this movie. It's honestly better then it needed to be. The movie starts off with a bunch of annoying fake jump scares but they seem to die down and the real horror starts at the mid point. The gore is well done. The acting is fine for slasher standards. Overall, and okay horror film that's a good time burner.

I'm the kind of viewer who can suspend disbelief for even the worst of movies, as long as there is SOME kind of redeeming quality by the end...

there was absolutely none in this utter time waster.

it seems to attempt to create "tension" by dragging out useless scenes throughout the entire movie, and just creates a frustrating experience, where even the simplest scene takes like 15 minutes to get through.

the infuriating pacing set in the intro does not improve or pay off in any way, so if you hate it by the first few minutes, don't bother wasting any more of your time; it does not get ANY better.

not the worst movie ever made, but certainly the worst movie I've seen in at least the last two years.
