DeadHouse, a review by Jimmy

Title : DeadHouse (2004)

Overview
Four teens venture on a road trip to visit family on their vacation. They are trapped inside a broken down house by a clown masked killer and tortured. Now with time against them they must lean to put their differences aside and try to survive their night at Dead House!

My Impression
Unoriginal and boring... This is so amateur that most of the time we heard absolutly nothing because the "actors" mumble their lines or the music is way too loud. The special effects are non-existent and nothing happen... The killer had a paper sheet for a clown mask for god sake, talk about cheap... Really the trailer looks 500% better than the movie is. Not as bad as The Sorority, but it can get its member card of the crappy movie club...

Chiko, a review by Silence_of_Lambs

Summary:My Thoughts:
This was nearly a blind-buy, never heard of this film until I saw the trailer. I bought it because it was shot in my hometown and the concept looked very promising.
The film is a classical Buddy-Thriller with not too much surprises, it still gives this genre some new perspectives.
What makes this film special is the extremely good and intense acting, which is virtuously supported by a highly ambitioned photography.
A great piece of German cinema, that shows that not all good flicks from here have to be comedies.
An enthralling movie which deserves much more attention.

My Rating: (out of possible 5)
