A fictional investigative documentary looks back on the "assassination" of George W. Bush and attempts to answer the question of who committed the murder.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Don't believe any of the good reviews on here. They obviously are involved in the movie somehow.I have seen a lot of stupid, boring movies and this is one of the worst I have ever seen.This movie starts off slow and never picks up. I kept watching thinking "it's got to get better right". Never happened. You don't care about anyone it the movie. There is no tension. There is no action. Not at any time do you think to yourself "this could be someone's home movie". It is just bad.I buy dvds then watch them. I've been doing it for at least 10+ years now and have a couple thousand dvds and blurays. In all that time and with as many bad movies I have kept there are about 3 or 4 movies that, after watching them, I hate so much that I just throw away. This is one of those movies.

I've seen plenty of horror films of all shapes and sorts, and never have I seen anything so legitimately disturbing before. This film is not the kind that resorts to gimmicks to be a fun mindless scare, or resorts to being edgy and gruesome just for the sake of shock value. In a way, I see it as an art film. The acting is phenomenal, and everything the characters do is totally logical in the context of their positions, personalities, and backstories. The pacing is brilliant, in that it's slow enough to give every moment enough time to have a purpose, while still progressing fast enough that scenes don't linger longer than necessary. Pacing is naturally a huge element in all films, but especially in found-footage or mockumentary films, where realism is generally paramount. Everything that's unsaid in the film is unsaid intentionally, again adding to the realism; There's no sudden burst of exposition, rather it comes out very slowly through the viewer's mind as they piece bits of the film together, using what they do know for certain, from dialogue or visuals. Just like people view other people, and use what they know about them, from what they've said or their appearance, to logically piece things about them together. This even further adds to the realism. All this realism talk makes the parents extremely relatable and it makes everything that goes wrong for them a tragedy for yourself, as if you knew them as neighbors. In my opinion there's a ton of metaphors throughout the film, having to do with mental, emotional and physical degradation, but maybe I'm just being pretentious. In any case, this is a perfect film, I'd say it's suited well for all horror-audiences.

As I am reviewing new films for IMDb, I like to occasionally go back down memory lane and review a film I saw in years past. Since last night I watched Apartment 143 another film of this sub genre ilk, I suddenly thought of the glory days of these particular films and Viola!!! Home Movie snuck into my mind. How can you go wrong here.....parents, one a reverend and the other a psychologist will 2 kids that lets just say are off the beaten path lurking down a 2 rut road. In other words very troubled and trouble is what they bring to the table in this moody, dark, creepy, foreboding and deeply insidious indie gem. I won't give anything away but I will say this, I had trouble walking by a park playground for months and I have seen almost every horror film out there. Pregnant females stay far away and males about to be a father watch and be warned. Both children deserve Oscar nominations for their haunting performances......

Some body needs a vicious spanking. This disturbing tale of a family gone horribly south laments that the end is not going to be pleasant, and it certainly does not disappoint. To eschew those moments of stupidity, where the characters behave with retarded capacity, is one necessity of the viewer, for these parents absolutely blow it at times. The acting was top rate for such an endeavor, with exceptional performances by the children, creepy little things that they were. Adrian Pasdar was a sheer treat to watch- what a ham. There are some fun connections between the lessons of the father and how the children take note and put words into discommoding action, all to wicked effect. For those not charmed by home movie style flicks, best to stay away. As well, this was a chilling affair turned dark as black towards its end- stay away happy happy joy joy fans. As to the rest, this short little psycho-thriller might just be reason enough to get those tubes tied. Mercie beaucoup. Genruk Evil Eye Reviews
