KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Leofwine_draca THE HOUSE OF HIM is a very low budget Scottish slasher movie that takes place in a single house and has just two main actors. The plot is about about a killer in a cheap mask whose threatening demeanour is ruined every time he opens his mouth to speak in a soft Scots burr. His victim is a woman who decides to fight back, and there's a supernatural twist in the tale to boot. The film has lots of interaction between killer and victim, some of it violent, but it also feels endlessly padded and very little happens.
Marybeth Royals Maxwell I have watched House Of Him several times. It IS deeply thought provoking. If you expect to watch a slasher film or something of the sort, this is not it. The protagonist is Him, a man who has murdered in the past and plans to continue his sadistic M.O. on Anna, his victim. The tension is palpable throughout the film while watching Anna struggle with the reality of what she is being subjected to and watching Him race steadily down the incline into madness. The film is centered around the stigma of battered women. While it is not a blatant and in your face matter, the feeling is there throughout. While this was a low-budget film, the acting is exceptional. Rankin and Stewart are believable as the main characters; Rankin will break your heart as the tortured soul who ends up in the bowels of insanity while he seems baffled by the turn of events. I enjoyed it immensely, yet if you don't want to *think* during your entertainment, skip it. It is disturbing, intense and so valid for the world we live in; But so worth the time to watch.
begob Masked killer traps a victim in his home and plays with her. Suddenly ... a knock at the door.This is real low budget, and I did struggle with it up to the half hour stage. Once they took tea, the story settled into a rhythm and the early head-scratchiness of the set-up went away.Acting was good, but I thought the lead actress was given a few unnecessary reaction lines and overall her predicament was so mysterious it must have been hard to play.Music very good, and some creepy disembodied voices. Photography and editing mixed, although it was impressive toward the end, with some nice weird-out scenes. The scene with the biochem suit reminded me of Under the Skin - dunnoes why I felt that, maybe the overall feel from the music.In the end just too conservative for me - I prefer to remain unsettled by a horror, and messages and metaphors feel false. And once again a British horror that's coy about sex, and light on the justifiable gore.But this one did use the supernatural element just right - unlike, say, The Babadook - so it's well worth watching.

As Anna struggles to break out of the role the killer has chosen for her, the dead women in the walls and floors play a last desperate card.If this plot makes sense to you , you're smarter than I.The movie has no suspense whatsoever.It looks like it was made over a weekend for $20. And i swear to you i think it's unintentionally a comedy.The killer and the victim sit on a sofa calmly sipping tea and having a conversation.OMG!It's horrible! Not worth your time in the slightest.
