Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

The standard formula home break-in film consists of victims being tied up, men take a beating, women sexually molested, then the tables are turned. The more clever ones involve a mystery relationship somewhere for which clues are dropped and not just a creepy David Hess/Eric Roberts bad guy. 13 minutes into this film, we realize our bad guy is a professional and the formula may be adjusted.The film does a great job by building character by simply showing us the victim's home. They have a son who is at her mom's house while our once-a-weekers are out on date night. He likes vinyl, a man after my own heart and she likes to role play, a woman after my own...well. We get to know them the way the intruder knows them. Meanwhile the intruder remains a mystery to us, just as he does them.In many ways the "mechanical" aspects were good. The characters were established properly. The scene was done properly. The soundtrack was simple, but effective. The details worked well, down to leaving the faucet drip for your cat. (Cats prefer flowing water.)The problem with this film is that there was no dialouge interaction between our bad guy and the victims. This was done by designed, but made for a boring film. It made no sense creating talkies. The film was too stagnant even with the bloody scenes. You keep wondering, "Where is this going?" and when it gets there, you go, "Oh. Okay. That's it? That's the ending we waited an hour and twenty minutes for? Could we see more of the cheerleader's outfit please?"Parental Guide: Token F-bomb (WTF spoken). No sex or nudity.

David Morley writes and directs this horror flick. Sara(Meghan Heffern)and Frank(Adam MacDonald)return home from a date night out; with the baby at grandma's, this night has the possibility of getting heatedly romantic. Nothing really alarming to notice telling that the nice secluded home has been invaded. Check phone messages, put some music on and mix a couple of drinks. Frank gets excited about his wife upstairs putting on her old cheerleader outfit.Things get pretty damn tense when the intruder(Shaun Benson), wearing a dull, but scary mask and protective clothing, commences to torture and maim. Some of the violence is disturbingly graphic. Assuming Sara is the lead character...she is clueless and has no common sense. Let's say "shock and awe" does that to a person. The intruder becomes a methodical and deliberate killer. He goes about his horrid business like a mundane chore.HOME SWEET HOME leaves questions to be answered; but earns an R rating with suspense and bloody violence.

we all have seen horror films that have a cheesy storyline sex scenes and usual predictable bad ending & comedy here the case is different its not about the hero or heroine its about a villain who actually have no background character or motive in the end its seen he is wearing a sheriff badge but one can assume he kills for fun and its makes you think more where this guy came from why would he do such thing its got potential to be a franchise but thats just me i liked it for what it was nothing more.the plot:a couple comes back to their house and discover there is a killer hiding inside who just wants to kill them.the cast:Megan Heffen plays Sara a lovely wife who tries hard to escape from the bad guys grip but fails.keep in mind that there is another film called home sweet home with a woman taking revenge for someone getting inside her home both films are released in 2013 so if made a little confusion.films like these should be appreciated its a low budget film and quite underrated.overall home sweet home 2013 is a good film where villain is the hero it depends how you look at it my rating is 7/10:Recommended.

The writer/directer is horrible, either the girl is the stupidest person alive(well dead now because she had no intelligence at all) or she wants to die because her logic when handling the gun that was stored in the house makes no sense at all..... she has a chance to kill him and decides that its smarter to rush him with the gun trigger still locked... even though she could have easily unlocked it downstairs where she was safe... but no she had to run upstairs BEFORE she unlocked it. makes no sense at all. Although the mask was pretty unique and the movie did have a twist at the end but the killer had no motivation at all. NONE whatsoever.
