Plot
Will Atenton and his family (wife and two daughters) just got their dream house. However, this house comes with more issues than they expected. Is someone stalking them, looking in the window and whatnot? And then they hear that there were murderers in the house! Why did the neighbors, the realtor, and the police not warn them? How can they survive? Can they stand up for their own house and the way of their life?
Rating Criteria
0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute waste of time.
1/5 – Barely worth any time.
2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of something to hold the attention a little.
3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but could definitely have used more.
4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the movie.
5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful movie all around. – characters, music, theme, story line, etc.
4.5/5 - *SPOILERS*
This is one of the best movies I have seen all year! It seems like a stalker/home-invasion movie but turns out to be a mystery and very psychological. Yeah, so Will's family was murdered in that house beforehand and he just returned home (imagining his family there). After finding out about his family's death, he tries to solve out who did do the murders and why.
I had a hard time guessing the plot except the weird ex of the neighbor made me suspect him. He acted like a jerk from the get-go and was suspicious. Of course, he also had a temper so his deal in the plotline was suspected. Surprise, he hired someone to kill the neighbor 5 years ago (to get full custody of their daughter) and that hired assassin fucked up, went to the wrong house and killed Will's family.
He also had karma for him hiring an assassin to kill his ex. He burned to death in the basement because he wanted his way and caused his neighbors' deaths, though he (for the second time) tried to get his ex to be killed. Oh, and don't turn against your hired help or they might turn against you, which causes your death. Smooth, man. What an idiot but it is nice to see that he got what he deserved.
This is a great movie. Highly suggested but DO NOT bring your children to watch this. There is one scene in particular that would terrify children - Dee Dee and Trish acting out their death (can't breathe, getting cold, etc). But as a psychological mystery about a home-invasion/murder, this is AMAZING. I would definitely watch this again.
That's my review. Thanks for reading! More reviews always are to come.
