Dumb Sara deserves to die seriously! So stupid!!! Who the hell gets the key to the gun to unlock it but runs up the stairs not ready to shoot??? Who would do such? Then at the end...just kill the psycho don't stare at him and walk closer to him... geez ?

"Home Sweet Home" is nice take on the "Home Invasion" genre. The film is structured quite differently than most other horror films. The beginning of this film is a lengthy and quite creepy sequence where the villain breaks into the home, checks it out, and settles in for the evening. There is real tension for the return of the owners and they do show up -- a young married couple coming home after an evening at the theater. They settle in briefly and then the uninvited guest makes his appearance known...

"Home Sweet Home" is way more effective than you'd expect. Part of it is the structure -- unlike many horror film, it doesn't spend 45 minutes making us try to know the victims. I know filmmakers to this in an attempt to make us like the victims and not want bad things to happen to them, but all too often it just makes them annoying. This film does it right -- the entire home invasion concept is enough to make us fear for the couple, and when they prove, after a brief time, to be a pleasant enough couple then BAM! It's on!

Lots to like about this flick. Unlike so many horror films, this film is well-lit and you can clearly see everything that is happening. The acting is outstanding all around. Much of the film is centered around the psycho versus the wife, and the actors nail it. Shaun Benson, in a virtually silent role, is creepy as the invader. And Meghan Heffern is wonderful as the terrorized wife -- you can really feel the fear. Many of the questions that you think are going to be left dangling are answered in a clever ending, so that means that from its creepy unconventional beginning to its shocking ending "Home Sweet Home" is a success.

Greatest flick ever? Nope. But definitely worth checking out.

your not gonna like this review...

this movie is completely and utterly ridiculous. im just continuing to watch it out of self torture.

here are some various stupid things that happen...

silent alarm gets tripped so a security calls round, sees all the lights on, knocks and calls out 15 times, no answer, rings the phone, no answer. OK, have a nice night see ya. i mean ffs.

there's a pistol in a safe on the top floor, but no it cant be that easy. it has to have a trigger lock. but it still cant be that easy, she has to sneak all the way down 2 staircases to get the key, which she instantly drops and so has to run and hide without picking it up. but then after some time she actually picks the key up so finally she has the gun and trigger lock key. slam dunk right? run upstairs gun in hand and blow the guy away. nope, she has to run upstairs without unlocking the trigger lock, and yep you guessed it, runs straight into him and gets the still trigger locked gun knocked out of her hand. she then runs upstairs and pushes a small dresser in front of a door but he is unable to even budge it??

and when she eventually shoots him in the friggin neck, he goes down and is nearly dead. but comes back to life and gets better and better, and even manages to stumble all his proper clothes back on and make a phone call? worse case of an actor acting shot I've ever seen.
