An odd little movie that promises a lot but in the end its grasp falls someway short of its reach. As lo-budget films go, it has some strong positives - A funny script, some excellent cameos, ideas and invention - but it is unfortunately let down by some poor special effects and some terrible acting from three of the four leads. Amber Moelter, Tom Wontner and Hannah Speller are very wooden and not very convincing and are easily out shone by the rest of the cast.It's a shame really, as the opening 5-10 minutes promise a great deal. His follow up, Hellbride, is a much better movie and I look forward to seeing Killer, Killer shortly.

A nice attempt at the classic locked house storyline. Let down by CGI on a shoe string and rather neon pink blood but notable for its performances... including a strong turn by Amber Moelter as the defiant anti-scream queen and Tom Wontner as the sensitive love interest. Would have been better played more psychological than blood and gore, but the wish fulfillment machine is an interesting "MacGuffin" although bringing together the "most stable" individuals in the country and locking them in a house is bound to be a recipe for disaster. Go for loonies like Big Brother, much safer. Fun and a respectable "stab" at the horror genre.

Fantastically funny and original... Pat is a brilliant script writer and his ideas are truly unique. Keep 'em coming Pat and get those budgets expanding each year! TrashHouse makes me laugh and I love its concept - the house, the characters in it and the electronic chip in the neck. Don't know why I chose the word goofy to describe it, I think it's because it somehow has a quirky element to it, but a damn good horror flick at the same time.That's why I chose to get involved and I'm glad I did. The cast and crew were great fun to work with - I'd definitely do it all again (maybe in summer next time Pat)!

I finally got to see this movie over the weekend and it's well worth a watch - especially if you're a fan of zombie flicks.The script is very inventive and has some very funny lines. However, don't go along expecting to see Shaun of the Dead - this has more in common with the original Dawn of the Dead than anything, with just as much bite and originality.There are some strong performances too, especially from Richard Collins - who steals the show with his evil turn - and Sam Burke as Della. Comedian Gary Delaney also turns in a very impressive cameo.Writer/Director Pat Higgins can be extremely satisfied with his debut and I am already looking forward to TrashHouse 2.
