Home Sweet Home: Rebirth

After reading some of the reviews, I had to see for myself how bad this movie is ... but you know, I kind of liked it. My expectations were super low from the reviews, so that may have helped, but I think the movie is pretty good. It's a low budget sci-fi movie with decent acting and some impressive CGI monsters ... what's to complain about? Just watch the movie with the goal of being entertained watching characters being chased by monsters around Bangkok for 90 minutes, and you won't be disappointed. The actors were good and definitely committed to their roles ... just the dialogue didn't do them any favors. That's a problem with movies from games, if you never played the game, can just get lost figuring out what they're talking about. Cut out the game reference talk and replace it with more demon girl or that giant monster scenes, and I would have liked this movie even more.

The story, effects were very good. Most of the acting was good. However the biggest let down was the lead. This movie would have been much better served with a better casted lead character.

He started off ok. However as the movie progressed his acting kept falling short more and more. He seemed forced, fake, trying too hard.

I do not know ow if I have seen him else where and this doesn't mean he can't or hasn't done better. But this was definitely a failure. The supporting acting, including the little girl was better.

If the actor sees this please take it as a positive criticism on how to improve. It is not meant to demean you.

After reading what the movie was about, I was excited to watch it. I'm prone to Morrone and his acting now so I paid him little attention, but I just want to ask. Are the female lead and male lead nepo babies? Because the acting was so atrocious that I had to immediately end the movie 30 mins in. Why spoil such a good movie plot on such terrible acting? My lord. Even the child couldn't act and I've seen younger kids act. I almost had to poke my eyes out. I don't usually stray from big movie productions cause of this same reason and it came to bite me in the back once again. I want back my 30 mins.😩

I wonder... How much were the actors paid for this movie? A large portion of it must've gone to the special fx; I'd say because the acting was bad, the script so bland, scene editing so wrong and the characters are annoying to watch!

I looked the title up because of the impressive trailer seen on YouTube, and I should've just left it at that! I wanted to see how damaged Bangkok would be during the tragedy, but the lead characters and even their extras were so laidback throughout their acting. Come to think of it, there was no logic for this story to be produced at all.

I should've just stick to Thai horror movies which gives more scare than this!

I was not familiar with this 2025 movie titled "Home Sweet Home: Rebirth" prior to sitting down to watch it. And not knowing anything about the movie, I harbored zero expectations. But I will say that I found the movie's cover/poster interesting enough to actually draw my attention.

Initially I had thought that this movie was a sequel or something, given the 'rebirth' part of the title, but that was apparently not the case. Turns out that it was apparently based on a game.

The storyline in the movie was simplistic, almost to the point of being non-existing. Sure, it made for a fair enough viewing experience, but just don't expect to be using your brain during the 93 minutes that the movie ran for.

I was not familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, a thing that I actually enjoy whenever I sit down to watch a movie. And the acting performances in the movie were fair, despite the fact that the actors and actresses had surprisingly little material to work with.

Visually then the movie was good. I definitely liked the special effects in the movie, though while looking good they hardly did much of anything to add to the lacking storyline.

"Home Sweet Home: Rebirth" is the type of movie that you watch once, and forget about within the coming 24 hours. Yeah, there just wasn't sufficient contents to the script or storyline to make this a memorable movie. And it most definitely is not a movie that you will sit down and watch a second time.

Watchable, sure, but a very forgettable movie at best.

My rating of directors Steffen Hacker and Alexander Kiesl's 2025 movie lands on a generous five out of ten stars.
