The Perfect House (2012)

Best movie of this year hands down!

Wow! Such a good movie.

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

OK, my GF chose this one based on the title as she's looking to move house(!).Immediately, the on-screen title was something completely different (something about the Devil). Within 2 minutes we were laughing out loud, from the acting and camera work, we knew we were more in for a laugh rather than a real horror film.AWFUL acting - I have never seen such pantomime facial expressions since the Evil Dead musical! It's not all bad though, as it's obviously made by some gory horror enthusiast (there were some quite sick ideas) and it was REALLY quite entertaining if you want a really cheesy low budget horror film you can laugh about.

Well what can I say... Surprising is the word that springs to mind. As a hardened horror/ thriller viewer I'm not opposed to a bit of gore and this didn't disappoint, even had me flinching and wincing a couple of times! It is most definitely not for the feint hearted or the easily offended. This is more like 3 mini movies that come together in one place and is quite interesting. The gore was pretty realistic (sometimes almost too realistic) which is a must for me. After reading the other reviews I wasn't even sure that I was going to waste an hour and a half of my time on it but I'm so glad I did it's well worth a watch. Enjoy!

The perfect house is another movie, of the thousands already, with an "evil" house having his sway on its residents behavior. The kind of movies, labeled as horror, that i believe what i am going to see, i have already seen it before, but i watch them, just for fun and because i want to.And this movie is no exception of the rule. Predictable, bad acting, poor story and nothing original. The acting is so awful, especially when the victims are in danger and threatened to be killed, where no action or reaction comes from them. It has some good gory and torture moments, but nothing you haven't seen before, and it was better than this one of course. All movies, especially horror ones, have many similar scenes and stories, and influence is logic and acceptable. But mixing in a movie, stuff from well known movies, like Hostel, Saw, and Braindead for example, doesn't make it any good or unique. Also there's is a total rip off from Dexter, a really bad one and terribly executed.I am always eager to fresh ideas in a theme that's already been written and seen before too many times, hoping to see something new with a different twist or view, but most of the times, it fails. An evil house, without explanation of its evilness, it's not something people will follow.Except the gory moments, another good thing in the movie, is the sexy Monique Parent, the real estate woman, but a sexy woman, is not enough or the reason for someone to watch a horror movie.A total pass from me, and the creators of each low budget and less promotional horror movies, doesn't have to create different accounts to write propagandic reviews and give high ratings, so they can trick people to watch their films.2 out of 10.

I must admit that when I went into the screening of The Perfect House I didn't know what to expect but after watching I have to say that it was a great horror movie and a sick and twisted one at that filled with all the gore to satisfy even the hardest of core horror movie fans.What we get here is three different stories all revolving around the same house and more so the basement. Bad things are on tap for sure. Things start off with a young couple (Will Robertson, Andrea Vahl) thinking they are about to find their Perfect House. They are showed the house by a sexy but sadistically seeming Realtor(Monique Parent).We are now taken to a black and white segment which is a tribute to Hitchcock and tells us of the first thing to happen in the house when a family is trapped in the basement during a bad storm and this terrifying mother(Kris Smith) who torments them all. Most of the violence is off screen in this one but there is still some good teases including a decapitation.Our second story and my favorite of all of them is about a psychotic madman who keeps his victims in cages in the basement. Keeping one girl to watch as his body count piles up. Jonathan Tiersten (Sleepaway Camp) and Holly Greene(The Cutting Room) play off each other to make this an instant classic. Top notch acting for both of them and that's not to take away from the male cage victim(Hans Hernke) who does a great job also. This section of the movie has some of the best gore I've seen in years in a movie and really shows how psychotic a person can get and with the smart writing by Kris Hulbert you never doubt for a second that are you are watching one of the sickest people ever.Our third story is the story we get a tease of in the opening of the film. It's about a neighbor who takes not getting his weed trimmer back way too far. This segment has some moral gray areas in it for sure but they are all still enjoyable and more blood for all you horror fans like myself. You get a family tied up in the basement by a sadistic stranger(Dustin Stevens) who is angry cause he didn't get his weed trimmer back. Here we will have two YOUNG children fight to the death(off camera) to save their mother(Felissa Rose) from being killed. It might seem like a simple premise but its actually quite the story.Last but not least we get a tease of what will certainly be the main story for a sequel in which the character Steve(Chris Raab) will be a big part of I'm thinking and I look forward to it, it was a great setup and horror fans are gonna flip over it.The movie also stars John Philbin, Timothy Dugan,Tyler Nemeth, Alex Markousis and Jamie Baker with a cameo from ex playboy playmate Angelina Leigh.It is also the first movie to ever premiere on Facebook so check it out for only $5. I highly recommend it.....
