I found this fun little film on Netflix tonight. I'm a big fan of slasher/whodunnits. They don't get made very often anymore sadly, but I Iap them up when they do.
The film has a decent enough opening scene which sets the tone for the film. Suspenseful and ultimately brutal, with a little twist thrown in to show the killer's MO. From there we meet all the characters/suspects and the film takes on quite a traditional slasher structure.
There are a couple of twists to the tale I liked that make this film unique from others. The killer's mask being the character they are attacking worked for me. It's not as intimidating as say the Scream mask for example - few are - but it works in its own way. The other twist being the punishment for secrets being kept. I thought that was a very interesting plot device.
A couple of flaws in the film I spotted were that too much happens during the daytime. It's very hard to have an intense slasher scene in daylight. It's just not as scary. Also there is a lull through the middle that just goes on a little too long. Otherwise though I had a good time with 'There's Someone Inside Your House' and it's one I would recommend. 7/10.
