I'm not usually into horror / slasher movies, but I highly recommend The House Of Him.
I would have probably never thought about watching it, but it was recommended to me by someone with discerning taste on Twitter (You know who you are). ;)
Robert Florence wrote and directed this, plus Iain Connell was executive producer (the Dream Team behind Burnistoun), so I knew I was in for a treat!
Joanne Daly was also an executive producer / producer, who has worked with Robert Florence several times previously, so the fact that they work well together, shines through in the movie.
I was unsure for the first five minutes, or so, but I'm really glad that I stuck with it, as it's a work of cinematic genius! From the perfect camera angles and lighting, general surreal atmosphere & tension throughout, to the superb cast, it's well worth a watch or two! In my honest opinion, the ratings here and elsewhere don't do it justice!
The House Of Him is much more than a horror / slasher movie - It's thought provoking.
I enjoyed it so much, that I actually watched it a second time. I'd love to see more movies like this.
Great work Robert Florence, Joanne Daly and Iain Connell, and also the extremely talented cast (Richard Rankin, Louise Stewart, Kirsty Strain, Amy E Watson and all the other actors), that brought so much to their roles!
If I've learned one thing, it's not to automatically dismiss a movie, that has lower ratings, as they could well be completely unjustified, just as they are with The House Of Him.
