hyped garbage

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Well what can I say... Surprising is the word that springs to mind. As a hardened horror/ thriller viewer I'm not opposed to a bit of gore and this didn't disappoint, even had me flinching and wincing a couple of times! It is most definitely not for the feint hearted or the easily offended. This is more like 3 mini movies that come together in one place and is quite interesting. The gore was pretty realistic (sometimes almost too realistic) which is a must for me. After reading the other reviews I wasn't even sure that I was going to waste an hour and a half of my time on it but I'm so glad I did it's well worth a watch. Enjoy!

This an anthology horror film about a sexy female realtor (Monique Parent, who appeared in countless softcore porn films in the 90's) showing a young couple house where all kinds of horrible things have happened. It's basically the same plot as Hammer's "The House that Dripped Blood" (and the John Ritter TV movie "Terror Tract"). The first story is the best. It's about a very messed-up family--the mother is mentally ill and off her meds, the father may be sleeping with the daughter, and the son has become murderously resentful. It all blows up when they're forced to seek shelter down in the basement during a storm (with a whole lot of knives). I've noticed that when they treat the subject of incest in movies, they're often so circumspect about it that they ironically don't make it nearly as ugly as it would be in real life. It also may be a little hypocritical here because they prominently display this alleged teen incest victim in her underwear (although I seriously doubt the actress is really young a teen). On the other hand, I did appreciate that the subject is treated with some ambiguity and subtlety because NOTHING ELSE in this movie is.I hate to describe the last two stories as sheer "torture porn" because I really don't like that term. Most people watch horror and porn for completely different reason. Still, the second story is pretty much just unrelenting sadism about a serial killer who tortures and murders victims of both sexes in his basement and has kept one woman alive to periodically sexually assault, but mostly watch him kill the others. This is hard to take very seriously because the acting isn't very believable and there's zero character development, but it did make me question why I was watching this in the first place. When torture goes on long enough, it isn't really "horror" anymore; the term "porn" is not really accurate because only a very disturbed person is going to get turned on by this, but there is something unpleasant and definitely not very fun about it.The third story, unfortunately, is more of the same except the victims are a whole family (with yet another teenage girl stripped to her underwear) being victimized by their crazy older neighbor. This segment has the only "name" actor in Felissa Rose, who played the transgendered killer in "Sleepaway Camp". I think anybody with a family will find this really hard to watch, and the ending is definitely harder to take than the second. But there is SOME black humor here because the neighbor is set off when the father forgets to return his weed-whacker! Still, it's less funny when he sets on the teen daughter for being scantily clad and promiscuous. I don't know what he has against the younger children. The movie shatters some cinematic taboos here, but it really does it just to do it.Overall though, I wouldn't describe this movie as offensive, and it certainly does succeed at being pretty grueling. But it is also pretty puerile, definitely pointless (any point it has usually ends up shoved in someone's eye), and just not a lot of fun.

First off, I am NOT a fan of torture movies. Ones like Saw, Hostel and especially Seven. However, unlike those movies, this one actually didn't bother me (Seven bothered me for weeks). I think the reason is the other ones had seriously disturbed individuals who got off on torture. THAT bothers me. I don't want to watch a sicko consciously torturing people. That's a little too real life for me.That said, the reason this movie stands out is because it's the lingering evil in the house which infects the characters. As other reviewers have said, there are flashbacks that tells the history of the house and each one as gruesome as the next. I particularly liked the one which has the girl locked in the cage, mostly because she brilliantly escapes.The only qualms I had was the Realtor and the doofus at the end. Ugh. Way over the top. Oh yes, and the weed eater. Having actually used one, the plastic cord would have already dissipated. Unless it was made of wire. Then nevermind.If you like a little gore - okay a LOT of gore - in your horror movie, this should fulfill your appetite.

The Perfect House is not the gut wrenching, jump out of your skin horror movie that i like so much, but the plot is good, the acting is good (though a little cheesy at times), and i didn't get up for coffee or to check facebook once, it was engaging and really held my attention in a way that milder horror movies rarely do so it gets a 10 from me, and I'm really looking forward to the next movie in the franchisefour stories make up The Perfect House, three stories follow the houses gruesome history and previous owners, with a fourth story set in present day about a newlywed couple and a real estate agent touring the houselook out for the alternate ending on the DVD, its a good laugh
