House of Last Things (2013)

I decided to watch this film, on Netflix, with no prior knowledge about it. That probably about as unbiased as one can get.Honestly, I do not understand how this film got a 6+ rating. I'm sure there's some kind of plot to this, but I didn't understand the film at all. I watched 40 minutes - didn't understand it, but I decided to give it a chance and finish the last hour, and it still made no sense to me.Overall, it seems like a haunted house possession sort of thing. The writer/director just doesn't seem to have much grip on telling a good story, and I've seen better films with lower budgets. I'm not sure I want to see any more of this guy's work.The only points I'll give are for some decent acting and creative imagery. 2/10

This flick will take you places you have never been before AND sometimes it's even crazy hilarious, the dialog I mean, especially some of the stuff coming out of the mouth of that trailer trash guy, Jerry! The intention here doesn't seem to be "let's just scare the crap out the audience and cash in", but let's make them think a little, sometimes a lot, and take them for a cool twisted ride in the process. And by the way, the photography is damn impressive for a little indie movie. Same cameraman who shot the Bad Lieutenant and the TV series The Medium. I agree with some of the other reviewers here though. Not a lot of blood if that's what you're after. Saw it at the Portland Film Festival and I'm glad I did!

This is a pretty amazing little indie gem that I would recommend to anyone looking for something way off the beaten path. Stay clear if you're impatient or into splatter and gore. I see a lot of genre films are breaking away from Lionsgate formula horror, not as successful as this one, not that I would place this one into the horror category, but it does tamper around the edges of horror, although in a much more restrained and psychological and methodical way. It was great to see Breaking Bad's RJ Mitte in a feature film and especially one so demanding and twisted. His first feature. Blake Berris' played his transformation to perfection and Lindsey Haun convinces here too, as as she did so well in True Blood.

I got suckered in to it again.Red some where this was a horror but IMDb says it's a thriller.It is more accurate but for me it was a thriller that didn't thrill.The effects where laughable and no way up to date to todays standards.It is like 'the possession of Michael King' a whole lot of silliness,no real content and payed people saying it's something good.I'm getting quite good at spotting these films so in the future I will be writing less of 'm simply because I don't wanna waste my time on them.Besides it is also difficult to write 10 lines on a movie where nothing really happens.It's not worthy to write a lot about it. having said that....
