Girl House (2014)
4/10
A bad movie with a few good points...
8 December 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Good Points:

-Not terrible characters.

-The acting is decent.

-Very good acting and emoting by the killer is great and it really is one of the high points of the film.

-Engaging enough story and script, if cliché at points.

-The creepiness element from the killer is well done, as is the build-up to his anger. All within the realm of believability.

Bad Points:

-The depiction of nudity and sex is expected, when it comes to the plot, but it goes above what is needed for the plot and into being thinly veiled porn itself. Far too excessive for my taste, having not been done non-sexually or reasonably.

-The horror aspect is not subtle when it comes to gore or blood. May be your taste, but not mine.

Overall:

I would love to see this killer in another movie, as the psychological aspect is better done in this movie than the stalking horror aspect. The dialogue between the main couple about the morality of the GirlHouse is quite good, as is the Rear Window reference at the beginning of the scene. All in all, I cannot suggest the movie due to the graphic sexual content, but the progression of the killer is more than the movie deserves.
