Excellent, a Must See

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

This movie has terrible everything, from acting to sound. The dialogue is awful, the plot predictable and the scenes boring. Apparently they couldn't afford to hire anyone over the age of 30 to appear in this film (I can't call what they're doing "acting") except the one 54- year-old who's supposed to be 44 (yeah, right). The actress who plays the sister isn't even capable of convincingly looking scared and she dry-weeps through several scenes. Ridiculous. Do NOT waste your time on this movie. But if you like to laugh at movies that are so bad, they're good, this movie might work for that. Anyway, if you suffer through it, at least write a review so others will be warned.

I found out about this movie looking at Alex Vincent's IMDb page. The movie, at a first glance, looked interesting and I decided to watch it. I looked everywhere for it and I was only able to find it on Amazon. So, I decided to rent it for a little while...and I was really disappointed.The acting was incredibly bland. They sounded like they were reading the script for the first time. The reveal of the killer was rather predictable. I don't know if that was intentional or not but...that doesn't really change my opinion. Some of the sound effects sounded incredibly cheap (I know, the movie's budget is cheap but still...) When the killer was killing Seth, the kicking sounds sounded like two books were being smashed together. Looking at all of these reviews, I only found one person who agreed with me and he (or she)'s on Amazon. It seems like we're the only people who hate this.In conclusion, don't bother with this movie. Horrible acting, cheap effects and overall an awful movie. Avoid!

House Guest is a beautifully done independent film. Well written, and the acting is solid. All the elements (Writing, acting, editing, cinematography) that were put together to make this film work great. You get a well balance of a thriller, comedy, and drama all in one. Most indies usually end up being these low-budget looking, cheesy final products of what the film is, and House Guest isn't. I give it a 5 out of 5 stars. If you come across this film and wonder if it's worth checking out, you should go for it! Available on DVD and Digital download for a really great price. Wouldn't mind checking out future projects from the filmmakers, and everyone involved in this film.

Alex Vincent aka Andy from Child's Play 1 & 2 told me to come see his new film House Guest back in May 2013 when i seen him at the Spooky Empire Horror Convention in Orlando, Florida. So I went to the premiere on July 15, 2013 in Tampa Florida and was happy I went. I have been a fan of horror movies especially slashers since I was a young teenager. Now in my 30's I still love them. This film does not disappoint. Good kill scenes and a younger cast then most movies I have seen made it stand out. The killer a man claiming to be 44 in the film although looks to be in his 50's does a pretty good job and looks menacing. I would of preferred some more brutal scenes like more torture & blood but I was happy with the film. This movie has Alex Vincent written all over it if you know him on any kind of level as a person in real life. I thought parts of the movie were amusing and the crowd at the premiere which was around 150 people seemed to all enjoy it. Buy this film or watch it if you like stalker type slasher films. I ordered my DVD and am going to have it autographed by some cast members. House Guest (Brian Jalbert) should look into having the film shown at Spooky Empire's Horror Weekend (Orlando) in October I think it would help spread the word on this independent film and I'm sure sell a few DVD's of the film there as well. I liked the movie and I thought it was well done. I do not know how much was spent on the film but the film quality was great & the editing seemed well done. Check it out if your a fan of slasher movies you should enjoy it!
