That was an excellent one.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

When Sarah (Diane Dalton) returns home in Oregon from a mental institution, her husband Alan (Randy Schulman), who is a critic of classical music, tells that they will travel to watch operas in Italy since he will write articles about them. Sarah does not want to travel but Alan introduces the hot Kelly (Lindsey Haun) to her telling that she will be the caretaker of the house. When they leave the house, the small-time criminal Jesse (Blake Berris), who is Kelly's boyfriend, unexpectedly arrives at the house. Then Kelly's unintelligent brother Tim (RJ Mitte) arrives to stay with his sister in the house. Kelly had a love affair with Alan and feels comfortable in the house. Meanwhile Jesse steals Alan's convertible to sell to a dealer but he sees the boy Adam (Micah Nelson) alone in the supermarket and decides to bring him home to ransom him despite the protest of Kelly that seeks out his parents. Adam feels good in the house and soon they learn that the house is haunted but they surprisingly stay there. Meanwhile in Italy, secrets are disclosed about the past of Alan, Sarah and Adam and why Sarah had a mental breakdown. "House of Last Things" is a flawed and weird film with a non- chronological screenplay that explains most of the mysteries and is worthwhile watching. The story is intriguing and disclosed like a puzzle but there is lack of explanation for many things, such as who is the bizarre lady that visits Alan and Kelly; or the reference to the Garden of Eden. The cast has great performances and the unknown Lindsey Haun is very sexy. The final transformation of Kelly and Jesse is certainly inspired in David Lynch. In the end, "House of Last Things" is an original film of haunted house. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): Not Available

House of Last Things ReviewFrom the first bite of an apple, clues aplenty set up a world of wonderment. A happenstance crime wraps itself around a duplicitous music critic, his grieving wife, their house sitter and her brother and boyfriend. The crime involves an eight-year-old who evolves preternaturally after his victimization. The writer/director, having reverse-engineered plot events into clues, guides his talented cast through a labyrinth of horror. For example, a garden-hose/snake suggests something is awry in Eden. Yellow balloons watch and warn like a tragic Greek chorus. Strangers become Sybils.Deciphering some of the twists is like tap dancing on quicksand. However, therein lies the entertainment of untangling lies.Much of the fun of this film derives from skilled editing. Some say that film is a director's medium, although editors have stepped front and center. How fortunate to have both in one, e.g., Welles, Hitchcock, Kurosawa, Cameron. (Spoiler Alert unnecessary.) Director/editor Bartlett exploits the roundness of apples, balloons, drains, golf balls, door knobs, breasts, buttocks, mouths, drains, eyes, soup bowls, tree holes, droplets of blood. And for those so inclined, there are yuck moments. As Pseudolus sings, "Something appealing, / Something appalling, / Something for everyone . . . ."The House of Last Things calls you.

I can't say it was the best film, but it was decent. I don't understand why the sex scenes were in it, nor why the director seemed fixated on the boyfriends butt. The movie isn't anything like The Shining in my opinion. It's also very strange at times and seems the director didn't have enough time or funding to make it the way intended. There are lots of irrelevant things going on in the film as well. I have no clue what the deal was with the weird lady that is describing a portal and the pain the house is in. Has potential to be much better, but if you have nothing better to do it's a decent watch. I would not say it's one for the collection though.

Not sure how i came across this particular film, whether it was recommended by a friend or found on an IMDb list, but I would like to point out that i am NOT a friend or family member of the film maker, and just spent nearly two hours watching a great film, quite by chance.Then i came here and read all these terrible reviews, probably from people that think that Die Hard is the pinnacle of intelligent film making. Calling it Lynchian would be unfair to the film maker - only David Lynch is allowed to be Lynchian, anyone else getting that description is usually a pile of crap! Having said that there were definite Lynch moments, although more often than not it reminded me very much of Luis Buñuel more than anyone.The main thing i found interesting about this was the editing and the way it wafted in between characters / scenarios / continents with the help of a little light classical. These tricks have occasionally been done before, but like i said, not so much since the days of surrealism. They were certainly refreshing for a modern flick, and were effective and occasionally disturbing.To all the people who talked this interesting film down - there is more than one way to tell a story, it doesn't always have to be literal, and i guess that you're perhaps too stupid to appreciate something more impressionistic? Good luck with the next intallment of Harry Potter.And thanks to the film maker, can't wait for your next one, or the one after - am fairly sure you have at least one masterpiece in you, maybe more.
