But I eventually felt sorry for him because I've found nothing good in this movie ! The whole scenario is only a tiny short movie pitch. The session promised to be pleasant and I watched it in good mood. I've just seen this movie today in Lyon during the (tremendous) "Hallucinations Collectives" festival, presented by the author David Morlet himself. Many of the questions that you think are going to be left dangling are answered in a clever ending, so that means that from its creepy unconventional beginning to its shocking ending "Home Sweet Home" is a success. And Meghan Heffern is wonderful as the terrorized wife - you can really feel the fear. Shaun Benson, in a virtually silent role, is creepy as the invader. Much of the film is centered around the psycho versus the wife, and the actors nail it. Unlike so many horror films, this film is well-lit and you can clearly see everything that is happening. This film does it right - the entire home invasion concept is enough to make us fear for the couple, and when they prove, after a brief time, to be a pleasant enough couple then BAM! It's on! Lots to like about this flick. I know filmmakers to this in an attempt to make us like the victims and not want bad things to happen to them, but all too often it just makes them annoying. Part of it is the structure - unlike many horror film, it doesn't spend 45 minutes making us try to know the victims. "Home Sweet Home" is way more effective than you'd expect. They settle in briefly and then the uninvited guest makes his appearance known. There is real tension for the return of the owners and they do show up - a young married couple coming home after an evening at the theater. The beginning of this film is a lengthy and quite creepy sequence where the villain breaks into the home, checks it out, and settles in for the evening. The film is structured quite differently than most other horror films. "Home Sweet Home" is nice take on the "Home Invasion" genre. but comes back to life and gets better and better, and even manages to stumble all his proper clothes back on and make a phone call? worse case of an actor acting shot I've ever seen. she then runs upstairs and pushes a small dresser in front of a door but he is unable to even budge it? and when she eventually shoots him in the friggin neck, he goes down and is nearly dead. nope, she has to run upstairs without unlocking the trigger lock, and yep you guessed it, runs straight into him and gets the still trigger locked gun knocked out of her hand. slam dunk right? run upstairs gun in hand and blow the guy away. but then after some time she actually picks the key up so finally she has the gun and trigger lock key. but it still cant be that easy, she has to sneak all the way down 2 staircases to get the key, which she instantly drops and so has to run and hide without picking it up. there's a pistol in a safe on the top floor, but no it cant be that easy. silent alarm gets tripped so a security calls round, sees all the lights on, knocks and calls out 15 times, no answer, rings the phone, no answer. here are some various stupid things that happen. im just continuing to watch it out of self torture. this movie is completely and utterly ridiculous.
