6/10
Little House on the Prairie

Warning: Spoilers
The dream house of Samantha and Kyle is state-of-the-art, environmentally conscious hideaway resembling a twenty-first-century version of "Little House on the Prairie." But in this film, the tiny home will turn into the "Little House of Horrors."

Sam and Kyle had an argument about children. He wants babies, but Sam is reluctant after her miscarriage. Surprisingly, the film takes a major turn around the subject of who can carry Kyle's babies. When Kyle goes to the ocean to ruminate, he mysteriously vanishes. The police essentially declare him dead. Dealing with her grief, Sam decides to stay at the little dream house that Kyle had planned for her in the small community of Gravity Hills. It is there that all hell breaks loose.

"Tiny House of Terror" was a frustrating film to watch because of too many underdeveloped characters. It was difficult to keep straight all of the friends and colleagues of Kyle, any one of whom may be a suspect in his strange disappearance. Of course, the police are helpless in providing any comfort to Sam, let alone conducting a thorough investigation.

Still, the film has a payoff at the end in an outrageously conceived scene at the tiny house. The villain of the piece climbs aboard a wrecking machine with an enormous claw and starts tearing the house apart. There was some imagination involved in the build-up to that scene and a star turn by villain whose sights are set on Sam and Kyle and will eventually turn the home in Gravity Hills into Ground Zero.
