Sexy star Ingrid García Jonsson is that authentically rare Swedish/Spanish badass. Hell, let's be real. She's probably the ONLY one. Director/Co-Writer Rafa Martinez succeeds in slathering on the suspense. These takeaways notwithstanding, where was the grand dénouement? Rarely has there been a more roundly disappointing conclusion to an otherwise mostly competent horror/thriller than we witness at the back end of "Sweet Home".And adding to the disappointment, the 1970s pop radio hit "Eres Tu" is introduced at precisely the right moment during a critical climactic scene. But almost as soon as it starts the schmaltzy cum sincere song suddenly vanishes. We DEMAND more MOCEDADES! With this in mind, I offer a respectfully resolute, and most appropriate, message to the well meaning but ultimately off the mark filmmakers behind "Sweet Home". It's not us. "It is You".
After seen Don't Breathe (2016) my best friend told me to pick up this flick. So I did and I'm happy I did because it's a hell of a ride. It's not all that good, it's not that you think, aaa it's all over now and things start over again. Here you could see it coming so no suspense on that part but it's the effects used and the brutality that makes it worth watching. It do involves a bit of romance and in some parts the romance takes over but there's a thing, just before you think, omg, not the romance again you're in for a smasher.For a first attempt as a full feature Rafa Martinez did well. The story itself is a bit over the top. Nothing is explained and so this can go from a romance into a home invasion towards a slasher. For me all things were done with a wink towards black comedy. Just see the beginning, the old lady going to the shower, guess everybody said, noooooo nudity here please. Well done. But what it adds toward the story I don't know and as mentioned before the romance and the head (you will see) is black comedy too.Don't get me wrong, no humor at all, pure horror. Gore 2/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 3/5 Story 2,5/5 Comedy 0/5
I've been using IMDb to choose what movies I watch for a few years by now. I've seen my share of horror films but not once have I ever felt compelled to write a review. Awesome movie! Decent acting with a great plot that's packed full of suspense. I gave it a 10 because in my opinion that's the rating this movie truly deserves. It has been a very long while since I've had an opportunity to watch a really good thriller/scary/horror movie and this one didn't disappoint. Don't allow the little bit of Spanish spoken in the film turn you off because there isn't very much. I loved it. If you're into horror, don't hesitate. This is definitely a must see!
To me, it was refreshing seeing a horror with a small budget acting far better than the latest productions. I got more intrigued with every minute so all in all, it was quite a pleasant surprise.The story is typical, the execution is good, acting OK, and most of the time the decisions taken by the characters are natural, they don't seem to be written by someone. The bad guys did their job, our heroes the same and at the end of it you get your closure. For that I am thankful to Sweet Home.If you give it a try and lower your expectations just a little, I'm sure most of you will appreciate this little movie cause it has quite a baggage to offer. I recommend it!Cheers!
