Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Thanks for the memories!

Pretty Good

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Saw 'Home', being fond of horror regardless of budget (even if not my favourite genre) and being intrigued by the idea which was reasonably different when it comes to recent viewings of horror. Being behind on my film watching and reviewing, with a long to watch and review list that keeps getting longer, it took me a while to get round to watching and reviewing it.Giving 'Home' a fair chance with being interest and apprehension, it turned out to be far better than expected. Won't say that 'Home' is a great film because it isn't and the potential, while not wasted, is not fully lived up to. Considering the large number of films seen recently being mediocre and less and wasting potential, was expecting worse and was relieved that while wanting in a fair few areas it was actually one of my better recent low-budget viewings.Starting with the positives, generally the production values could have been much worse. There is a real sense of eeriness, foreboding and a decently stylish atmosphere, and it makes the most of the confined and at times effectively claustrophobic setting. The music is also suitably haunting and manages to not be too intrusive, likewise with the sound not being too obvious (a bugbear of mine with low-budget viewings recently).There is tension, suspense and genuine creepiness. The acting is better than average, with the three leads carrying the film pretty decently.Would have liked however more tension and suspense and for some of the scares to be more creative and less trying-too-hard to the point of cheesiness. The dialogue is cheesy and awkward generally. Found that the story could have been executed better too. Too many parts are uneventful, the narrative structure is not always coherent and it can feel padded, not to mention an ending that perplexes in its anti-climactic and muddled convolution. There are exceptions to the better than expected production values, the effects are shoddy and the editing could have been tighter.Overall, better than expected but didn't blow me away. 5/10 Bethany Cox

The spoilers are really only in one paragraph, labeled **spoilers**This isn't a bad movie, although I wouldn't say it's a great one either. It has plenty of suspense and a few moments that are truly terrifying. The atmosphere throughout the whole movie was, in my opinion, particularly well done, they really nailed it! I felt like the characters were well portrayed, however, I think they were not developed as well as they should have been, and although you got a few glimpses into their history and backstory, there really wasn't much to fill in the blanks, and let you really get to know them, or understand them. I think just a little more effort in that area could have made some huge improvements. As it is, it's sort of just like, here's a bunch of people going through some bad stuff, you don't know much about them, and therefore don't have a reason to care about them really, you don't really understand how they got to this point in their lives, and although it doesn't matter much to the story line, it leaves you feeling unconnected to them. So, when something bad happens to them, or they get killed, it's just like, wow that's awful, but oh well.But, as far as the story goes, it is a pretty good one. Actually, it started off great, i thought. The first few scenes had me really into it, but it kind of lost it's momentum at some point. It had plenty of twists and turns, and kept on surprising me all the way through, which is always a good thing. The downside of that, though, is that it was sort of too much packed into one movie. Just when you think you'd figured out what was going on, everything changed. When you think you knew what to expect, the opposite happened. And usually that's good, but in this movie, it happened so much it started to feel...almost ridiculous, I guess. Just like there was too much going on.**Spoiler** For example, when first sister (can't remember her name, sorry) died in the house of 'heart failure', she'd only been there once before that, so it's not like she had a big connection to the house or something. Then, the sister came there, and very soon she was attacked. Again, not a big connection to the house, or even the girl that had killed herself there. But then there's the suicidal girls parents, who I lived in the house too, and I assumed they probably remained there at least for a short while after her death, nothing happened to them, right? Or what about the girl who grew up there, and her parents, who were the ones selling it, although she'd encountered the girl in the red raincoat, she hadn't ever been attacked, nor had her family. So why is it only the sisters are who attacked? The things that happened to them were scary enough to make the movie good, but it sort of left me confused because I don't understand why they were targeted.**I feel like it would have been better if they'd split it into 2 movies, and expanded on the scenes with more detail and more explanation.Then there's the ending...Maybe it's just me, but I thought it sucked. To me, though, that doesn't necessarily ruin the movie, and I don't regret watching it. It was a good watch with a disappointing ending, but again, I think splitting it up would have really made it much better, cause one of my problems with how it ended was that I just felt it was too rushed, and not enough explanations were given.Overall, I'd recommend it to any horror fans, especially lovers of possession or devil themed films, just don't go into it expecting too much or you will most likely be disappointed. It's not going to blow your mind, or have you re-watching it again in a day or two, but it won't have you bored to death, wanting to turn to something else half-way through it.

Not one thing to benefit by trying to watch this attempt at a horror movie. Oh, it's a horror alright, but not as a genre. It's just a horrible attempt at entertainment and misses in every aspect. What a waste.Filming in the dark for such creep movies is formulaic but does not help when all the characters are filmed in the dark, have identical features, the dialogue (this poor attempt barely has any dialogue to critique) is minimal, and there are so many convoluted flashbacks -- if indeed that's what they were -- that nothing makes any sense.Perhaps the writer had several beginning attempts at a few scripts, none completed, then just tossed them up into the air & submitted the way the pages fell on the floor to the film company. That could be the only explanation for how this film rates as a zero in every category.

This horror film is very well made. It is a new age Gothic story horror that redoes an idea that has been toyed with in many many movies over the years. This time, though, Director Nick McCarthy decided to really wring out the rag of provocative horror ideas. This movie has a thick storyline, and I really like how the movie opened the way it did. The idea explored here is that a young girl sold her soul to the Devil in order to make some quick cash. She clearly had to be the type of girl who feels that she has very little to live for, because come on, who would actually agree to do such a thing. I could see it being a joke, but when there's a $500 reward for doing it, it starts to get a little sketchy. This girl was portrayed as a poor girl who doesn't seem to have any parents. The Director of this movie also directed "The Pact" which is a little bit similar to this movie. There is a pact made between two people in both films, and the characters get whipped and flung around by a ghostly entity in both films. I really like McCarthy's style and I advise you all to check this movie out. It's terrifying!
