Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Sadly Over-hyped

I saw this last night because the plot really caught my attention, and I was very pleased with it. This movie tries to do something different, many people may say it is the same as all slasher films, but this ''girlhouse'' thing is something I had never seen before, and it was very entertaining. The killer was creepy af, they definitely payed homage to the Texas chainsaw massacre because when the killer wore the mask it was extremely similar. Nonetheless, it has its flaws of course, it could have been pulled off smarter, this movie doesn't escape from some clichés, like knocking the killer out and instead of just finishing him, they just run away and hide, I mean they filmed a hammer he had attached to his back, she could have grabbed it and just killed him right there; also, some of the acting could have been better, but I really enjoyed this film, the main character was likable and not stupid, actually, there weren't that many stupid moves in this film, would watch it again, totally.

Seen some reviews and noticed the ratings. As far as I am concerned, they don't do justice to this film. Is it a cheap-teen-slash-B-film? Don't think so. Good story, good acting, good end.Iam not going to spoil anything, but feel that I have to do bring balance in some other weird reviews, realizing that everyone is entitled to his own opinion.The killer does have a very clear motive and background. You can see that in the very beginning of the film. The killer his job is not a weird job, and his hobby at home is not weird. His knowledge is not far fetched, and basically he would be the perfect real live profile of a serial killer.Don't expect a cheap and bloody slash film. The film is very well balanced as a thriller with some very bloody moments. But nothing overdone here like. It's easy to get into the film with the intentions of the GirlHouse being very clear. Nothing disguised, but clearly not a porn film. The love/romantic bits in it are genuine. The violence and bloody moments are well proportioned. No exceeding and long winding screaming. No wrong doors with no where to hide scenes that every human being would avoid. The "scary" scenes are well timed. Not too long and not too short. Just enough to keep your attention. All escapes, whether they succeed or not, are perfectly acted. No unnatural behavior in this.Finally a slash film we enjoyed. Lots of tension, lots of gorgeous woman, an environment in which half the world can find (him)self. A film you can identify with. A film that is realistic enough.Definitely worth an 8.

An entertaining slasher film, GirlHouse was probably made for a small budget but you can't tell as it is well shot/produced with decent enough acting by all involved. Ali Cobrin is very likable as the requisite "Final Girl" and there is actually a well-executed romantic subplot between Cobrin and a childhood friend that elevates the film, giving it another dimension beyond the killer slashing his way through the cast. Loverboy is effectively creepy with his pull on mask with it's female face and long hair. He reminds me somewhat of Frank Zito in Maniac as far as how crazy he is. There are some effective scares and creepy atmosphere going on and some of the effects are really well done, even though it's not a gore fest it has it's gory moments. Some of the deaths are really creative. I enjoyed it much more than I expected and I would recommend it to slasher film lovers.

Okay, so I didn't give it a very high rate (6/10) but it still feels like the IMDb rating is too low for this one. For someone who has about seen every horror movie that has ever been made, this movie was actually pretty fun to watch. It didn't feel like I just wasted my Thursday night on this, but it's not a movie I would watch again.As the summary states it is kind of like Halloween: weird dude comes to murder sexy teenagers - but this movie still didn't feel like a rip-off . Girl House has little plot but still tries to with the weird little thing going on at the beginning and little details from the weird dude's life. There are some side characters that didn't really matter, and you'll definitely won't remember the name of. Especially the guy that looks like Ed Sheeran?If you want to watch it because you want to see lots of blood and gore: don't. Because you will be disappointed, there is little to none going on. For a porno kind of slasher movie, there is little to no nudity in it, which surprised me a little because of the preview. But I think it would end up being even a cheesier movie if there was. The murders were basic, even the surprise murder (if you watch the movie you'll know which one I meant.) But all in all: this movie tried to be different and succeeded (even just a little.)
