If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

This was an excellent spooky movie. The plot pulls you along with a sense of growing creepiness as the main characters move along their character arc. The acting and production are top-quality, much better than I expected from a low-budget thriller. And the effective use of classical music pieces adds to the overall atmosphere of "the house," especially toward the end. I hear that the creative people behind this movie are planning to make another. I'm eager to see it.

An almost constant stream of surprises, "House of Last Things" is a bizarre delight from start to finish. It's never truly frightening but always quizzically intriguing. Though the quasi haunted house story makes "a kind" of sense by the end, I'm glad writer/director Bartlett left enough ambiguity intact to haunt until the next viewing (I've seen it twice now and appreciate all the cross referencing, time and space shifts and symbolic details - much care went into this). All the actors do a decent job, particularly the otherworldly little boy. Extremely impressive cinematography and transitions. Those looking for a straight genre exercise will most likely be frustrated by the oblique fragmented story however that is precisely the kind of film I love. Also, it isn't easy to make golf courses and yellow balloons threatening.

I can't believe some of the hateful rants packaged here as unbiased reviews. Hard to believe they watched the same movie I saw at the Los Angeles Fear and Fantasy Film Festival just a few months ago, or even watched the movie at all, because the comments bear no relation to what I saw. Anyway, like many in Burbank that night, I enjoyed the film from start to finish and would recommend it with good conscience to anyone looking for a great surreal psychological drama. RJ Mitte is seen here in his first feature film since "Breaking Bad', and Lindsey Haun and Blake Berris are great to look at and watch in demanding parts. Some big laughs too in the weirdly comic dialog and the over all look is far superior to most low budget indie movies. That said, probably not for most horror fans. More like Twilight Zone.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Finally caught it at the Houston World Fest. I admit it was different from what I'd expected. I'd seen Bartlett's Little Girl Who Fell From a Tree several years ago and loved it, so I was expected more of a thriller vibe. What I got was gentler, more thoughtful, and mature storytelling. This film was beautifully laid out, handsomely crafted, and lyrically held together. The way that music and color was used to weave the past and present together really brought the whole film together for me. And, the creepy, almost fairytale use of the apple tree and golf balls was awesome! I'm so glad that I had a chance to see it in the theater.
