House Guest Massacre

So I totally got to watch this on a small projector at an event called Kalamazoo Freaks & Geeks with Alex sitting right behind me commenting on scenes every so often and I had no idea that was him behind me the whole time got a personally signed still from Child's Play from him and a photo with him as well. Wish I had cash on hand that day to purchase this movie.

House Guest is a beautifully done independent film. Well written, and the acting is solid. All the elements (Writing, acting, editing, cinematography) that were put together to make this film work great. You get a well balance of a thriller, comedy, and drama all in one. Most indies usually end up being these low-budget looking, cheesy final products of what the film is, and House Guest isn't. I give it a 5 out of 5 stars. If you come across this film and wonder if it's worth checking out, you should go for it! Available on DVD and Digital download for a really great price. Wouldn't mind checking out future projects from the filmmakers, and everyone involved in this film.

I found out about this movie looking at Alex Vincent's IMDb page. The movie, at a first glance, looked interesting and I decided to watch it. I looked everywhere for it and I was only able to find it on Amazon. So, I decided to rent it for a little while...and I was really disappointed.

The acting was incredibly bland. They sounded like they were reading the script for the first time. The reveal of the killer was rather predictable. The writing was at best below mediocre. Some of the sound effects were incredibly cheap (I know, the movie's budget is cheap but still...) During one of the murder scenes where someone gets kicked, the kicking sounded like two books were being smashed together.

Looking at all of these reviews, I only found one person who agreed with me on Amazon. It seems like we're the only people who hate this.

Don't bother with this movie.
