Sweet home manages quite well to build up tension - and keeps it pretty much throughout the whole running time. Right from the get go it's clear what to expect. The shower scene for example, is effective, simple and even though u might a anticipate what's next - it grips u. A moody, bleak and suspenseful version of the home invasion genre. Even the decisions taken by the couple are reasonable and more realistic then in similar flicks. Only the very last chapter felt a bit misplaced - not bad and ultimately an appropriate closure - but it had a different vibe in my pov. All in all, an above average thriller with some nasty scenes and a dark and uneasy atmosphere.
