the only negative thing i can say about Home Sweet Home, is the title could easily turn people away from the basic premise of what it's about. the basic premise being a 'home invasion' type of deal.
aside from that, this movie is very similar to countless movies about home invasion with one exception: IT'S WELL MADE.
Home Sweet Home falls between the cracks because people just assume that they've seen movies like it a million times. it could also be discarded by some people due to the fact they were hoping to see the crazy man do all sorts of sadistic things to the couple whose home is being invaded. that really just means they want to see a plausible horror premise that involves tacky tricks for the entirety of the movie.
this is something i like to refer to as a "slice of life" kind of movie. which is suitable for some horror movies. there isn't always a need for some horror movies to touch on too much of a background. it gives a more of a sporadic feel when the horror begins from the get go.
if you've taken the time to check up on this via IMDb, then i'm not giving anything away when i say Home Sweet Home has a very, very small cast of characters. and because of that (when handled in a creative way) it really creates a sense of isolation. there isn't fifty pointless story lines going on. it helps focus on the dynamics of the characters and what's going on around them.
'less is more' can truly be applied to this movie when it comes to actual horror. when i say Home Sweet Home has a familiar-type of storyline, i don't mean that in a bad way. home invasion COULD happen to you. and it happens to people every day. sometimes, a good horror movie can be made when just the right amount of imagination bumps 'likely' to 'unlikely' making for a good horror story. and Home Sweet Home nails it the whole way through.
