Home Sweet Home (2013)

Highly Overrated But Still Good

A Masterpiece!

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

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.

Please do not watch this movie. It was a waste of time. Like literally it got me so worked up that i wrote a review. creepy guy kills couple for no reason like they don't a give a reason what so ever for why his actively killing these white people. the victims you find yourself hoping they die quicker because they are just that boring. The killer has no point. he literally takes his time walking in the house until the family gets home. even then it uses cheap scare tactics to try suspense. The music at the end makes no sense its starts getting all dramatic. Bottom line don't watch it. Its not funny or scary or thrilling its lame. the actors i feel sorry for them.

A couple of posts here and there have helped me out with the logics in this film and I must conclude that there are some serious problems with some actions... BUT: I don't necessarily watch home invasion horror flicks for their total sense of logic. Such a film may have other qualities that win me over, and 'Home sweet home' sure does. I was very enthusiastic about director David Morlet's debut film 'Mutants', it was the main reason to try this one, because, really, what an average title and poster and plot to attract an audience... But Morlet is a true artist; he combines a keen sense of style with nail-biting drama and gory horrors. 'Home...' is not as good as 'Mutants', but it will certainly do as far as that combination goes. Perhaps it didn't need such a familiar twist at the end, but hey.Actress Meghan Heffern plays the pretty victim with verve, beyond there's not much acting needed; Shaun Benson just needed the right build, MacDonald was out pretty fast (he did just fine up until then though) and furthermore the cat did a terrific job. Again, some choices truly defy logic in this story, but there are only a few of those and they're not even the worst I've ever witnessed.This is a more than decent way to spend biting nails for about 80 minutes; stylish, gory and with thorough dramatic punches. No less than 8 out of 10.

your not gonna like this review...this movie is completely and utterly ridiculous. im just continuing to watch it out of self torture.here are some various stupid things that happen...silent alarm gets tripped so a security calls round, sees all the lights on, knocks and calls out 15 times, no answer, rings the phone, no answer. OK, have a nice night see ya. i mean ffs.there's a pistol in a safe on the top floor, but no it cant be that easy. it has to have a trigger lock. but it still cant be that easy, she has to sneak all the way down 2 staircases to get the key, which she instantly drops and so has to run and hide without picking it up. but then after some time she actually picks the key up so finally she has the gun and trigger lock key. slam dunk right? run upstairs gun in hand and blow the guy away. nope, she has to run upstairs without unlocking the trigger lock, and yep you guessed it, runs straight into him and gets the still trigger locked gun knocked out of her hand. she then runs upstairs and pushes a small dresser in front of a door but he is unable to even budge it??and when she eventually shoots him in the friggin neck, he goes down and is nearly dead. but comes back to life and gets better and better, and even manages to stumble all his proper clothes back on and make a phone call? worse case of an actor acting shot I've ever seen.
