I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Purely Joyful Movie!

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Notwithstanding that "The House of Adam" is meant to be a mainstream gay movie; that Anthony (John Shaw), who is gay curious and a major cutie-hunk and Adam (Jared Cadwell) who is openly gay, and a close second in looks; that there is a whole minute of wonderful, convincing, and naked lovemaking (sorry, no frontal) between Anthony and Adam 41 minutes into the movie (that alone may be sufficient for many of us) --- notwithstanding all that (to which I give a thumbs up), "The House of Adam" is a horrible movie by most any other movie making standard. A big thumbs down.Shaw's and Cadwell's acting abilities are either sophomoric or else truly suffer from the bad script, direction, and editing, or rather the lack thereof. Their lovemaking scene is nevertheless convincing, and may have more to do with their really being into each other, considering the rest of their scripting and acting.Writer-director Jorge Amer's (Bonus Feature) self-congratulation as to his movie making skills is off the wall.So, the script and lack thereof is a thumbs down. Overall, the acting is thumbs down with just the slightest exception for Shaw and Cadwell. Alexis Karriker as Nina might have been the best except for the limitations expressed above. Far and away the absolute worst, and insufferable, acting was by Thomas Michael Kappier as Albert Ross, Anthony's father having not even of elementary school acting quality. He truly represents a colossal casting failure.The actors playing the new cabin owners are worthy of truly bad acting nominations as well.If only the production, editing and post production were as good as the trailer, this movie would have been quite something else. The trailer presents well put together clips of scenes that drew me into renting the movie in the first place. That, and the hope that this gay-centered movie, was supposedly prominently played and touted at gay film festivals.Overall, the movie is a big thumbs down.Is it worth buying/renting and watching it? Only if you have an irresistible yen to see the naked love making scene, and a few minutes of semi-convincing dialogue between Anthony and Adam. Or if you truly just enjoy watching bad movies.

First and foremost I am a gay man, although do not live my life within the so called "Community", and it's because of films like this that Gay themed movies are not my favorite genre because 90% of them are crap. Like this one. f I could give this a zero I would. (I do not understand all the positive comments, unless they were all made by people who made this film) I actually stopped this at the 24 minute mark when the so called straight "Anthony" kissed Adam outside the restaurant for NO reason at all. And how is the son stealing from the diner if he doesn't even live in the town? Wire transfers? The acting was HORRENDOUS! The sound editing? (Listen to "Anthony" and Adam when they are sitting on the fence eating their lunch. Every time the camera switched between the two so called actors the sound changes, like there was not a filter on the microphone)Seriously do not rent, or god forbid, buy this movie.Horrible Horrible Horrible acting and just a stupid storyline.

I hardly ever post comments on this site but after watching this film at Reelpride and attending a very intense q & a this past Saturday, I thought I'd add my comments. I stayed after the Q and A and spoke to the director at the after party. Many who stayed, those who might have had a problem with the film, made their voices heard. However, I noticed when I approached the director several people who were at the Q & A told him how much they enjoyed it. I noticed those same people didn't say much during the Q & A. From what I understood, the film was projected on video because its still a work in progress. I can't wait to see the finished film projected on film. I found this film to be very intuitive, original and fun. It is without question dark and disturbing. The acting was very good. I specially liked the editing and cinematography. The sound in the theatre was poor. There were volume distortions with films shown throughout this festival. I applaud the filmmaker for his efforts and for his dark and interesting insight on life. We share the same outlook ;P. I definitely recommend this film.

This is the kind of movie that you will be thinking of days after you have seen it. When I first saw it, I was in awe by the beautiful scenery/cinematography and very moved by the story. However I did not quite see it for much of a thriller. To me, it was more of a love story. It almost reminds me of "Brokeback Mountain" with the difference that there is no names in this film but the message is the same. It's about love taken for granted. However, this story is told with a twist. Here there are supernatural overtones to the story and it gets scary towards the end for the newlywed couple. The story pretty much follows Anthony as he tries to deal with his demons as he must confront his father about money he's been stealing to attend detective school. Upon his father's request for a visit, he meets Adam, a young poor small town kid working for his father at a diner. Both strike up a friendship for different reasons. We quickly feel the chemistry between both characters upon them meeting each other. This is the kind of small town that we would find in middle America, somewhere like Kentucky where there are religious fascist trying to force their religious beliefs on everyone. Unfortunately,this is what will ultimately end up killing Adam. For the newlywed couple who has the unfortunate luck to move into this haunted house, they begin to experience signs from beyond the grave. I found this film to be inventive and original. It's a very suspenseful love story. It's got a good cross over potential. The gay love story is prominent throughout the film, but the film does have a message everyone can relate to. This is a movie that would make a great conversation over coffee after seeing it. I highly recommend it. Apparently the story is based on a true story. I am very curious to know what actually happened and where.
