Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
lisef-54845 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!
rushknight Most directors have a goal in mind when they make their movie, and if the movie does what it should in terms of entertainment, then we call that movie a success.Unfortunately for this film, the director makes the mistake of trying to disturb you and terrify you with graphic scenes of torture and gore.Ho hum. It's been done before, and many times even better than this.Disturbing the viewer is a good goal in a horror flick. But extended scenes about torture and gore bore-me-half-to-death. When I can flip forward through entire scenes and be like, "Ok, so long story short, she dies this way, he dies that way, killer does this, killer does that.." and get the entire story without actually needing to watch it, then we have a very shallow idea on the screen indeed. I can literally skip entire scenes and miss nothing, and the rest of the movie still makes perfect sense. In other words, there is no point to this movie except extended scenes of suffering and gore. You may skip them or watch them at your discretion, but why bother watching them when they really add nothing? It's really just more gratuitous than effective, and if you are the sort of person who actually enjoys watching it then I suggest you get your head checked.
Taz W The Perfect House is not the gut wrenching, jump out of your skin horror movie that i like so much, but the plot is good, the acting is good (though a little cheesy at times), and i didn't get up for coffee or to check facebook once, it was engaging and really held my attention in a way that milder horror movies rarely do so it gets a 10 from me, and I'm really looking forward to the next movie in the franchisefour stories make up The Perfect House, three stories follow the houses gruesome history and previous owners, with a fourth story set in present day about a newlywed couple and a real estate agent touring the houselook out for the alternate ending on the DVD, its a good laugh
Amanda Silvestri I'll be honest, I've been a big Jackass/CKY/Viva La Bam etc. fan forever, and I originally viewed this for Chris Raab. But soon after the story lines started playing out, I was hooked. The acting got a little bit cheesy at times, but overall, to me, the concept and different story lines were great.The three story lines go in chronological order, all taking place in the same house, (that is, in current times, being sold), all in the basement. The first one occurs in 1969, the next in 1986, and the last in 2005.The first storyline is done in a Hitchcock-type, black & white manner. It follows a family of a father, two children (teens), and an awful mother to round it out. Violence is off-screen in this one, but I like the flashbacks and the sort of plot twist (at least for me - I thought something else was going on between father & daughter).The second one is my favorite. It follows a psychotic man who keeps two cages in his basement: one for each victim whom he kills, and one for a girl who he's had locked up for five years, who he claims to be his "audience". I love Jonathan Tiersten and Holly Greene playing off each other, they did awesome, as did the captive male. Some really disturbing stuff in this and awesome gore. This scene had the best acting, in my opinion. Very believable and well done.Now the third, and final, storyline. We get a sneak peek of this way at the beginning as well. A crazy man, who's neighbor needs to give back his weed trimmer, takes that whole family hostage. Some crazy stuff plays out here, including throwing a girl with many stab wounds into a bath full of salt water, and making two young children fight to the death to save their mother. Depressing storyline, but very intriguing.The movie's plot also follows the house being sold in present-time. All potential buyers have been scared away because of the creepy basement... all except one. Enter Chris Raab. Oddly, I didn't mind when I saw him that he didn't have much screen time. The movie interested me overall. Anyway, there's a small dialogue between him and another character, and we see a teaser of the sequel, in which Raab's character, Steve, will undoubtedly play a large part. Awesome! Great setup, really looking forward to the next one.I definitely recommend paying at least the $3 on Facebook that it takes to rent the film on your computer for 3 days. Very, very worth it. I'll be purchasing the DVD.
