BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

InformationRap 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.

dddimora I found this movie on Netflix, I really wasn't expecting it so be as good as It was.House Hunting is an interesting movie. Two families are tricked into getting stuck in a purgatory like state on 70 acres of land (which is a great deal by the way!), and must work together to get out alive, unfortunately for them, working together couldn't go any worse than it did. Actually, working together didn't go all that bad either because the last thing these people do is anything productive to figure out what the heck is going on.It was definitely worth it, It didn't even make it to the movie theaters, it was released to DVD when it came out.Overall I give it a 8/10.House Hunting was definitely worth the watch.

Michael O'Keefe Two families in search for a new home are advised by a quirky real estate agent of an available location for the right price. The first family arrives at the deserted farmhouse, but it doesn't feel right. As they attempt to leave the drive just brings them back to the same spot at lot 6485. A bit bewildered, they begin to fear they are stuck in real estate hell. Then another family arrives and can't actually believe what is happening. The two families don't exactly see eye to eye, but they realize they are being haunted by a former owner, who declares only a deserving clan will occupy the homestead...his! A psychological and supernatural thriller that features a ho-hum cast: Marc Singer, Art LaFleur, Victoria Vance, Hayley DuMond, Paul McGill, Emma Rayne Lyle with Jon Cobb playing the weird Realtor.

The_Dead_See House Hunting was definitely worth the watch, especially if you enjoy psychological horror indies along the lines of "Triangle" or "The Corridor".IMDb has it miscategorized as 'Thriller' but rest assured this is straight-up horror, not thriller. There's not much gore to speak of but the supernatural aspects are clear and evident. Get it right IMDb!Quick, spoiler-free plot summary: Marc Singer (sans eyebrows for some odd reason) leads his family to an isolated bargain property for a real estate viewing. When they get there they are joined by a second family who arrives at the same time to view the house. The second family is headed up by Art LaFleur who puts in a stellar performance as a gruff, over-protective father on the edge of sanity. The two families soon find that they cannot leave the premises, and that every turn just brings them back to the same house. As time wears on, each family member in the house experiences their own unique psychological strains and each is haunted by past tragedies or wrongdoings. The strain inevitably pits them against each other.The unfortunate weakness of the movie was the unsatisfactory climax that didn't adequately explain the WHY of the phenomenon. Hints are given, messily, but in the end it's never fully resolved. As the credits rolled you get the sense that writer/director Eric Hurt may not have had a fully developed idea in his head after all, and that the vagueness might have come from a place of indecision or poor scriptwriting rather than a more intellectual or intentional origin.If you can handle those films where you're left saying "It was good, but I just didn't get it", then House Hunting may be a good addition to your viewing list. It's certainly stronger and less clichéd than most of the other indies available on Netflix instant right now.

hausrathman A strange supernatural barrier prevents two house-hunting families from leaving the estate of a house they visited. Whenever they try to leave, they always find themselves back at the front door. This is certainly a good premise for a horror movie. It would be ideal for an episode of The Twilight Zone, but Rod Sterling would have properly milked the implications of the premise. The two families, which seethe with tensions and secrets, seem to accept to readily their imprisonment. They don't bother to explore the most basic questions. Why specifically are they trapped in the house? Do they have any links to the place or each other? More importantly, they also have a survivor from a previous imprisonment with them. Although she had been rendered mute by the removal of her tongue, she is intelligent and certainly able to communicate, but they don't even bother to ask her questions for the most part. Still, the film manages to convey some tension and suspense. It also benefits from some good performances. However, it falls apart completely at the end. Near the end we discover that at least one member of each family had some connection to the family that originally lived in the house. Unfortunately, that ruins the film because it ends with two more families being drawn into the building. Did both of those families also wrong the original occupants? What about the two families that we trapped in the house prior to the start of this film. Did they also wrong the original occupants? It doesn't make sense that all of those people have a personal connection to the spirits in the house.
