House Guest

[kosmasp · 7/10 · 18 August 2021]

Houses with dark secrets ... of course the characters involved in those movies have no idea what they let themselves into. So never forget that: you may know you are watching a horror movie, but unless it is a meta horror movie, the characters have no clue.

Like the female main character here. Very unsuspecting and very innocent in a way. But there is a lot of baggage (no pun intended) and a lot of history for her there. Something we get to discover slowly ... with her and sometimes before her. The movie is quite decent in its attempt to be creepy and scary (in a slow way that is) ... but you do so the failings of a low budget with the look of it and other things. The location is amazing, could have looked better than it did I think - again all down to money.

If you don't mind that and rather cherish a low budget horror movie, jump right in ... quite the interesting ending this has too - I reckon I sort of expected that.

An italian horror atmosphere of the 70's

If your target audience is marvel blockbusters or modern Japanese horror, forget it. It's not for you.

This is a typical Italian horror film where the atmosphere and soundtrack come together nicely. Yes it is very, very slow but it reminded me late 70's Italian horror movies. Is that a flaw? Not if you are a fan of Dario Argento authorial genre.

Good use of colors a bit pushed and a very convincing reconstruction of the house haunted by strange evil presences.

Beyond slow with a waste of time ending

[sloppypickle · 2/10 · 31 August 2021]

Not to give anything away but let me tell you this is boring, slow and almost nothing happens until the last 5 minutes. If you can stay awake through this the ending explains everything and you will realize you've wasted 90 minutes you'll never get back.

How does this have 7.5?

Stumbled on this on Prime and trusted the 7.5 rating to give it a go. Overall it wasn't a bad film, but it was weird and slow and felt like a student film or something. Just be aware of that going in and you might even enjoy it.

Interesting and new in the style of directing!

Despite the low budget is a really stunning movie!

A good mix between horror and video art !

I think is inspired by the old mute movies !

Also the cast is very good!

Not for all horror fans but for true fans of independent horror movies .

Great atmosphere!

I think the colors of the cinematography are really awesome! The location is beautiful and suggestive.

The story is simple but realized with a particular style of directing I really loved that! . If you like movies slow movies with suspense you are in the right place!
