House at the End of the Drive (2014)

Great Film overall

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

The first time I'd heard of David Oman was when he purchased the lot Sharon Tate's house stood on. I've been on Cielo Dr. & his house is a huge monstrosity. Then, there was a TV show depicting Oman as a "private investigator" who "lived in the house below the Tate house". Another show portrayed him as a "producer" who "built a house on the Tate lot". Personally, with no disrespect to Mr. Oman, it's my (humble) opinion he is profiting both financially & personally from a horrendous murder. It's bad enough that this happened to people who were doing nothing more than hanging out in their own home & end up suffering a terrible death, but now Mr. Oman comes along & continues to dredge it up over & over on multiple paranormal shows. Haven't the victims of this tragedy went through enough? Their families already live with the knowledge of what happened to their loved ones, they surely don't need another TV show/movie/paranormal invest/etc. It seems that Mr. Oman continues to live vicariously through the suffering the 5 people at Sharon Tate's house went through & he does it shamelessly. Mr. Oman, you are fortunate to live in one of the most awesome cities in the US, you live in a huge house in a beautiful area, leave these victims to rest in the peace they lost in Aug 1969. I'm surprised Debbie Tate hasn't knocked on your door yet & told you to leave it alone. Profiting off the misery/suffering of others is particularly abhorrent. Enough is enough.

Being so close to the Inspiration for the film, I had the Amazing opportunity to view it. From start to finish, I was glued to the film, and had chills running down my spine. This film had me sleeping with the lights on that night. I love the question - what would you do if this happened to you? I loved the characters, and would love to see both a prequel and sequel. You actually care about each and every character, and want to know more about them. The acting was top-notch. To have Lance Henriksen in a film like this must have been a dream come true. This film had more twists and turns than a roller coaster. Just when you think you can't take anymore, it keeps going. One minute, you're wishing to get off the ride. The next, you want to get back on.

This is one of the crimes of the century, yet, there were few attempts ever made to tackle this subject on film. For his courage in putting up the funds and laying it all out on the line, David's film is getting a 10 from me.There are all kinds of conspiracy theory's about the event that allegedly "killed the 60's" The best source can be found on Blogger. The Col's Blog, "The Real Tate LaBianca Blog," about the Tate LaBianca murders.Good work David. I wish for your continued success in all your endeavors. Spooks
