Claudio Carvalho When Sarah (Diane Dalton) returns home in Oregon from a mental institution, her husband Alan (Randy Schulman), who is a critic of classical music, tells that they will travel to watch operas in Italy since he will write articles about them. Sarah does not want to travel but Alan introduces the hot Kelly (Lindsey Haun) to her telling that she will be the caretaker of the house. When they leave the house, the small-time criminal Jesse (Blake Berris), who is Kelly's boyfriend, unexpectedly arrives at the house. Then Kelly's unintelligent brother Tim (RJ Mitte) arrives to stay with his sister in the house. Kelly had a love affair with Alan and feels comfortable in the house. Meanwhile Jesse steals Alan's convertible to sell to a dealer but he sees the boy Adam (Micah Nelson) alone in the supermarket and decides to bring him home to ransom him despite the protest of Kelly that seeks out his parents. Adam feels good in the house and soon they learn that the house is haunted but they surprisingly stay there. Meanwhile in Italy, secrets are disclosed about the past of Alan, Sarah and Adam and why Sarah had a mental breakdown. "House of Last Things" is a flawed and weird film with a non- chronological screenplay that explains most of the mysteries and is worthwhile watching. The story is intriguing and disclosed like a puzzle but there is lack of explanation for many things, such as who is the bizarre lady that visits Alan and Kelly; or the reference to the Garden of Eden. The cast has great performances and the unknown Lindsey Haun is very sexy. The final transformation of Kelly and Jesse is certainly inspired in David Lynch. In the end, "House of Last Things" is an original film of haunted house. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): Not Available

pmillens 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!

samjuren I can't believe some of the hateful rants packaged here as unbiased reviews. Hard to believe they watched the same movie I saw at the Los Angeles Fear and Fantasy Film Festival just a few months ago, or even watched the movie at all, because the comments bear no relation to what I saw. Anyway, like many in Burbank that night, I enjoyed the film from start to finish and would recommend it with good conscience to anyone looking for a great surreal psychological drama. RJ Mitte is seen here in his first feature film since "Breaking Bad', and Lindsey Haun and Blake Berris are great to look at and watch in demanding parts. Some big laughs too in the weirdly comic dialog and the over all look is far superior to most low budget indie movies. That said, probably not for most horror fans. More like Twilight Zone.

djangozelf 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....
