So much average

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

I am a big fan of home invasion movies. I thought this would be fun to watch, but within only two scary moments, and partly good camera work, it becomes repeating cliché, boring and uninvented. I liked the music, kind a old blues tunes, though. From the start with added atmosphere and camera work it looks interesting, but then it lacks in its representation. The cameraman did a half good job moving camera, and even it reminds me on camera work at the start of R. Scott's Alien, it was obvious that cameraman in Alien where perfect performer with all that added scary atmosphere. Here, it does not look right and it somehow lacks the tension. I am sure the man behind the camera tried to do the best, and also the sound department put a lot of effort, but at the end it was not on high level basis.OK, the stranger came in the house, inspecting it, waiting. The complete process that was intended to leave is frightened was not successful. It was too long and loosing it tense with so much mixed details. It was OK, but not refined as it is in the best of genre. After a while, the owners came and in some slow pace of not so great acting they become a victims by some psycho maniac. The complete atmosphere was with no any special tension, like we all know what will happen. And it happens, but in a very mediocre nothing to scare of work. Only two moments made me scared but it is such a small part in overall concept that I forget about it. The ending is kind a OK, but it is nothing so original or special about it, yet better than to have a clear happy end. I was OK with this movie, but not impressed at all.

The writer/directer is horrible, either the girl is the stupidest person alive(well dead now because she had no intelligence at all) or she wants to die because her logic when handling the gun that was stored in the house makes no sense at all..... she has a chance to kill him and decides that its smarter to rush him with the gun trigger still locked... even though she could have easily unlocked it downstairs where she was safe... but no she had to run upstairs BEFORE she unlocked it. makes no sense at all. Although the mask was pretty unique and the movie did have a twist at the end but the killer had no motivation at all. NONE whatsoever.

the only negative thing i can say about Home Sweet Home, is the title could easily turn people away from the basic premise of what it's about. the basic premise being a 'home invasion' type of deal.aside from that, this movie is very similar to countless movies about home invasion with one exception: IT'S WELL MADE.Home Sweet Home falls between the cracks because people just assume that they've seen movies like it a million times. it could also be discarded by some people due to the fact they were hoping to see the crazy man do all sorts of sadistic things to the couple whose home is being invaded. that really just means they want to see a plausible horror premise that involves tacky tricks for the entirety of the movie.this is something i like to refer to as a "slice of life" kind of movie. which is suitable for some horror movies. there isn't always a need for some horror movies to touch on too much of a background. it gives a more of a sporadic feel when the horror begins from the get go. if you've taken the time to check up on this via IMDb, then i'm not giving anything away when i say Home Sweet Home has a very, very small cast of characters. and because of that (when handled in a creative way) it really creates a sense of isolation. there isn't fifty pointless story lines going on. it helps focus on the dynamics of the characters and what's going on around them.'less is more' can truly be applied to this movie when it comes to actual horror. when i say Home Sweet Home has a familiar-type of storyline, i don't mean that in a bad way. home invasion COULD happen to you. and it happens to people every day. sometimes, a good horror movie can be made when just the right amount of imagination bumps 'likely' to 'unlikely' making for a good horror story. and Home Sweet Home nails it the whole way through.

The first 20 minutes of this film are incredibly tasteful. I can't stress how perfect the shots and camera angles are. As you watch, you can feel the fear building up inside you. The stress of the situation just completely floods your brain as you watch and wait for whatever your imagination can come up with. And then, all of a sudden, I saw the cheerleading outfit. I started to remember the trailer I posted for this film about a month ago and my excitement for fear quickly faded. But I kept watching… First off, the dude's mask, not gonna lie, pretty creepy. Secondly, the scenes with the killer doing his thing, slowly torturing and humiliating his victims were pretty terrifying. So I kept watching and to my surprise, an ending that knocked me right off my feet. I shook my head, shrugged my shoulders and realized I could only say one thing. You can't judge a film by its trailer. Home Sweet Home is surprisingly a good little indie thriller/horror that definitely deserves a little attention.Please like me on Facebook!
