FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

gavin6942 In rural Alabama, two couples find themselves in a fight for survival. Running from a maniac (The Tin Man) bent on killing them, they flee deep into the woods and seek refuge in a house. They soon realize the killer has purposely lured them to this house and that they are now trapped.The best thing about this film? An incredible genre cast: Michael Madsen, Leslie Easterbrook, Bill Moseley, Lew Temple and even Lance Henriksen. Director Robby Henson's work has also attracted such acclaimed actors Billy Bob Thornton, Patricia Arquette, Patricia Clarkson, Chris Cooper, William DeVane and Kris Kristofferson. This is not one of the better films, though.We have terrible acting (especially from the country-singing wife), awful direction, and cinematography that seems obsessed with blue /green coloration for no reason. Moseley plays his usual self, and audiences are getting sick of it.Although it is hard to say for sure, one assumes the novel by Frank E. Peretti and Ted Dekker has to be better than the film it became. The novel is apparently Christian fiction, though it seems odd with such lines as, "God came to my house and I killed him."

Claudio Carvalho While driving through a secondary road for a meeting with a marriage counselor in Montgomery, Alabama, the estranged couple Jack Singleton (Reynaldo Rosales) and Stephanie Singleton (Heidi Dippold) ask for directions to a Police Officer (Michael Madsen) but they have a car accident with a metal part left on the road. Jack realizes that his Mustang has two flat tires and they see an abandoned Beamer parked on the road with the head lights on and flat tires.Jack and Steph walks in the rain seeking for help. They see an inn where they meet the businessman and owner of the Beamer, Randy Messsarue (J.P. Davis), and his fiancée Leslie Taylor (Julie Ann Emery). Out of the blue, the weird owners Pete ( Lew Temple), his mother Betty (Leslie Easterbrook) and Stewart (Bill Moseley) welcome the guests and invite them to have dinner. Sooner they are chased by the owner and the maniac The Tin Man and they find that they are trapped in the evil house. Further, for surviving, they lean that they must kill one of them in accordance with The Tin Man's rules. But the mysterious girl Susan (Alana Bale) befriends Jack and advises that if anyone kills, he or she will definitely belong to The Tin Man.The underrated "House" is a surprisingly entertaining horror tale. The creepy story is not a masterpiece, but I was misled believing that it would be another torture film and not a supernatural thriller. Leslie Easterbrook, in the role of Betty, and Lew Temple, in the role of Pete, are very scary and creepy. The plot is not a masterpiece and does not explain well the presence of Susan, but I liked this movie. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Jogos de um Psicopata" ("Games of a Psycopath")

cecilliawhite I actually viewed this movie on a day when I had nothing better to do because of flooding storms outside, however, I think even if it had been a sunny day and I was stressed for time, I still would have enjoyed it. The movie followed a pretty realistic plot line, but saying that, it wasn't in any way 100% original; there are plenty of other movies in this same genre which share a segment of the plot line of this movie. The ending, in my opinion, was slightly rushed and completely predictable, and I think that that could leave some a little dissatisfied if they are sticklers for an original, or "perfect", ending.All in all, if you are a fan of plots occurring in large houses, cat and mouse games, crazy religious fanatics, and a little bit of psychological twists, then this is a perfect movie for you. If you are looking for something which is like nothing else you have ever seen before . . . then you'll likely want to pass this one up.

apologetic-warrior I felt like this movie more or less tried to be what most of the modern horror movies are without the gore nudity and cheap scares. And as a result it was what those movies are to one who isn't looking for those things. Pretty awful. I've read the book and thought it was a pretty terrible example of both author's work, but it had a somewhat unique approach to the message they were trying to get across.Films should not be based on Christian novels if they are reticent to include Christian ideas. Films should not be based on Buddhist or Muslim, or Hindu or militantly atheist novels, if they are reticent to include the core ideas. As a student with plans to enter the ministry, standard "Christian films" make me incredibly depressed because they are generally plagued with bad writing, bad acting, bad camera-work, bad direction, and really really bad theology. This was not one of those films, but it tried so hard to create that distinction that it took the only saving grace of the source and flushed it.There is nothing really good about this movie. There is not a whole lot really bad about this movie. It was not worth watching and I wish I hadn't bothered with finishing it.
