I have been waiting to see this movie and when i finally saw it I was not disappointed! The effects were awesome. It was gory as heck. Bill Moseley was awesome in it as well as Tom Towels (Both of Rob Zombie Fame). All the characters that were high looked like garbage and acted way out of the ordinary. I think the director and writer were trying to portray a message with that. But the acting was was good and there was some weird humor in it. To me, when a movie has you thinking about it long after it ends it is a good movie and this one had me thinking about it long after I watched it. I hope to see what else E.L. Katz (Writer/Producer) comes up with in the future. I hope it is as crazy, whacked-out and gory as "Home Sick" was. If your a horror fan than you should not miss this!

An enigmatic and seemingly psychotic stranger (Bill Moseley) crashes a home-coming get together among some friends in Alabama. Brandishing a suitcase full of razorblades, he demands that everyone at the party give him the name of someone that they truly despise, which they very reluctantly do, but when they people named begin to die the friends become fearful for their own lives because one of them made a flippant comment at the party. Now they have to come up with a plan to survive, with the help of a chili-loving redneck gun enthusiast (Tom Towles).Aside from Moseley and Towles, the acting from most of the others is pretty dire (Especially Matt Lero as Timmy, who seems content to channel Eric Freeman's 'acting chops' as Ricky from Silent Night Deadly Night 2). However this is easily overlooked as the movie is more or less just so much gory, weird fun and left me impressed.Eye Candy: XZanthia and an extra get topless and make out; Tiffany Shepis also loses her shirt My Grade: B- DVD Extras: Commentary with Director Adam Wingard and writer/ producer E. L. Katz; deleted opening sequence; Bill Mosley interview segment; 'In a room where darkness counts' featurette; and 3 short films ("the Girlfriend", "1,000 year sleep" & "Laura Panic")

I thought Home Sick was sensational!! Tiffany was fantastic & sexy as always, as was Bill Moseley. Bill is so creepy as Mr Suitcase, you'll have nightmares for weeks. Lots of blood, gore, and more blood. The special effects are awesome!! Jonathan Thornton has come up with his best effects yet. Scared the crap out of me more times than I can count. Will Akers shows his stuff here with an unforgettable character that left me wanting to see more of him. The scene in the diner will leave you howling! Tom Towles kicks a**!! I'll never be able to eat another bowl of chili without seeing him! The music is also sensational. Homesick is definitely worth the wait!! Can't wait to see what else the writer and director will come up with.

I just reviewed a rough copy of this film "I did say rough copy". I think this is a true slasher film "100%". I do think however that slasher fans will be the only ones who understand and appreciate this film. Slasher fans will be very excited once this hits video shelves. For the budget that was given I think the production level looks great. It seems the writer and director meant for this to be an all out slasher feast. There are some very comical characters that are so nuts that they are truly frightening. People who watch this film need to be aware that the gore is VERY HEAVY. I have not seen this much gore in a independent film in a long time. Some of the gore scenes will make your bones tingle. Characters "My Favorite Characters" that will catch your attention: Mr. Suitcase-- "Bill great motivational speaker" Devin-- "Truly Funny redneck character that is in a weird way Scary" Uncle Johnny-- "Great redneck outlaw TOM!"Slasher fans get ready for HOME SICK because it is a non stop roller-coaster of gore and wild characters.Have fun!
