Please do not watch this movie. It was a waste of time. Like literally it got me so worked up that i wrote a review. creepy guy kills couple for no reason like they don't a give a reason what so ever for why his actively killing these white people. the victims you find yourself hoping they die quicker because they are just that boring. The killer has no point. he literally takes his time walking in the house until the family gets home. even then it uses cheap scare tactics to try suspense. The music at the end makes no sense its starts getting all dramatic. Bottom line don't watch it. Its not funny or scary or thrilling its lame. the actors i feel sorry for them.
A couple of posts here and there have helped me out with the logics in this film and I must conclude that there are some serious problems with some actions... BUT: I don't necessarily watch home invasion horror flicks for their total sense of logic. Such a film may have other qualities that win me over, and 'Home sweet home' sure does. I was very enthusiastic about director David Morlet's debut film 'Mutants', it was the main reason to try this one, because, really, what an average title and poster and plot to attract an audience... But Morlet is a true artist; he combines a keen sense of style with nail-biting drama and gory horrors. 'Home...' is not as good as 'Mutants', but it will certainly do as far as that combination goes. Perhaps it didn't need such a familiar twist at the end, but hey.Actress Meghan Heffern plays the pretty victim with verve, beyond there's not much acting needed; Shaun Benson just needed the right build, MacDonald was out pretty fast (he did just fine up until then though) and furthermore the cat did a terrific job. Again, some choices truly defy logic in this story, but there are only a few of those and they're not even the worst I've ever witnessed.This is a more than decent way to spend biting nails for about 80 minutes; stylish, gory and with thorough dramatic punches. No less than 8 out of 10.
The beginning is promising. A lot of suspense is created in the opening. It's very creepy and you feel almost voyeuristic traveling through the couples house with the creepy soon to be masked man. Some of the scenes are really great like the angle that they show the masked man when he firsts put on his mask. There is zero plot.... **Spoiler alert***The husband is maimed immediately. He then half assedly tortures the wife. He asphyxiates her a couple of times. He randomly puts lipstick on her. The wife is borderline retarded. She openly walks around when she knows the killer is looking for her. She also is safely nestled in her sons room and rather than staying there meanders to the front door which has been removed from its hinges...yeah the killer is just gonna let you go... The movie moves extremely slowly and the climax stinks. There is no real resolution or clarifying of the motives at the end of the movie. I was not impressed. The plot also has major flaws. Like the security company stops by her house? And knocks on the door? And then says OK, we're going to call the police. Apparently there is only one police officer in the whatever city they live in. Stupid.
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.
