This movie was one of the worst I've ever seen. Absolutely no thought went into making it; my five month old daughter has told me better stories and she doesn't even know how to speak. I can't imagine anyone got paid to make this, or made any money off it, but if they did, they should give it to charity. Granted, they had no budget, and only four actors, but that's no excuse. Clerks was paid for on a credit card and was actually entertaining. The only movie worse than this one is Mr. Hush, but at least that was so bad it made me laugh. Why did he put vasoline in his hair??? Yes, I asked why the killer put vasoline in his hair. That tells you all you need to know about this miserable waste of time. THe only way this movie would have been better is if the killer pulled the director out from behind the camera and began flaying his skin off while singing Yankee Doodle Dandy.

I read a few good reviews about this one and decided to watch it. Now I want those 80 minutes of my life back..those 80 minutes that I spent on watching the disaster of a movie, which is Home sweet home. The beginning shows a mysterious man ,who is the invader and whose face is revealed only in the end,that too for a split second. The beginning itself drags for so long..if I'd known this earlier,I'd taken a quick nap through it. You feel the pressure build up a bit,then you are on the border of getting bored,then you are just plain bored..and even then,the movie is still dragging towards some "twist". An hour into the movie,and then you see some action,which is quite horrible ,but by then,you are so fed up,you don't care.There's "the" twist in the end,but I don't think even the actors cared about that one. It tries to give an art house film feel and that too,a boring one and yes,it succeeds at that.

I'm disappointed that I watched this film. The characters are flat. There's no sympathy generated for the protagonists. The antagonist has no motive, no character, no redeeming qualities. In the end, I was hoping everyone would end up dead.The only redeeming feature of the film is the soundtrack because of the blues of Big Bill Broonzy. In the end I was listening to the music and playing a video game because the film couldn't hold my attention any longer.Spoilers start here ------------------------>There was so much potential for this film to go somewhere with the conflict between the husband and mother-in-law or the husband and wife, but it fell flat. The story is contrived. A married couple have been picked up and dropped into a house in the countryside. They have a kid, but conveniently enough the kid is at the grandparents' house for the evening.We hear a voice message from the sheriff following up on a strange trespasser at the beginning of the film. Instead of telling us, the writer would have done better to show us. Give us a day or two with the couple before bringing them home from a date and killing them for 40 minutes. Let us see them having an argument, having sex, laughing, or sleeping or doing something that normal people do.I'm not sure what role the child played in the film. It wasn't handled in a way that made me as a viewer say, "Hey, wait, don't make the baby an orphan."I feel that the movie is billed as being about a couple, but it's not about them. It's really about the killer. We see his preparation, his voyeurism, and in the end his switch from psychotic killer to wounded small town sheriff here to save the day. Unfortunately, what we don't see is personality in any form. Is he a sociopath? Is he married? Is he an only child? Did he start fires and wet the bed as a kid? There are ways to tell a story without having to increase the cast (read cost) of production. I just wish there'd been more. This is a decent flash fiction story that could be told in 500 words or less, but it just didn't make it for a movie this long.

OK, no one is waiting for this kind of movie to win an Oscar...Thst's not the idea...but...man...give me a break...this is boring to the bone... First of all, "home invasion" script was made and remade lots and lots of times, with some great results...this one is boring, doll...good for those who have trouble sleeping at night...Everything is stupid...the plot, the killer (there's no logic for the cop being the killer...)...there's no history, no character development... There0s only a psycho, who happens to be the cop, that seals every window in the house, and tortures psychologically and physically the young couple... No reason...only because he wanted to... Complete waste of time...
