Our House (I) (2018)
6/10
Horror/Drama with a new twist. Could have done better though
3 May 2020
This is a slow burn movie. And can get a bit boring as well. Especially if you watch it with the sole intention of watching a horror movie. The movie is more of a drama, than horror.

The first two acts were very slow but well done as you get to see these siblings live their lives without their parents and establishes some groundwork towards the audience relating to the characters or at least getting to know them better.

The third act could have been better. Considering the unique element of sci-fi they pulled to bring in the horror, it would have been better if they chose a unique take on the ending as well. But it's just like any other horror movie. Nothing original there. It's the same old troupes. Even the ominous ending is there. Pretty cliche.

Regardless, it's an above average movie, that deserves at least a 6-6.5/10.

A good attempt, but needs quite a bit of work. Also, Thomas Mann is quite good. He's not great (YET) but in the recently emerging actors, he's a good one. I wish he'd come in some more mainstream movies or hollywood movies too. It's always good to see him on screen.

Please note that this movie has only one or two jump scares, and is more drama than horror. Set your expectations accordingly.
