1.0 out of 5 stars Plotless film that takes you on a ride to boredum!, August 25, 2010

This review is from: House That Jack Built (DVD)

The only saving grace and reason for the 1 star rating (should have been 0) is the really cool and gory deaths, plus the nudity.

I am a huge Joe Mantegna fan, and thus pre-ordered and chose to overnight this movie. I was very disappointed by the fact that Mr. Mantegna's role in this film is a cameo at best. Clearly the filmmakers knew they had a no name cast, and thus attached his name/face to the front to try and draw in larger crowd. (which worked, as my wasted dollars are proof)

The plot for the film is a mindless setup to lure guests in to the house to be brutally murdered. Jack (Kris Black) inherits his family's house. The house brings back horrible thoughts of when his mother was murdered here, so what does Jack do? Demos the home and builds a party house on the land. Doing so awakens Jacks Grandfathers spirit (aka, the killer) Jack, in celebration of having completed his party house, hosts a party. The Grandfather starts killing off the guests... Bland dialogue with monotone delivery ensues.

Just let me point out right here that the cast in this film is mediocre at best with Kris Black taking home Worst Actor Award as the lead. I'm not sure if his character was supposed to be mind-numbingly boring, or if Kris himself was falling asleep during the shoot? Needless to say, the audience will have a hard time relating to this character, and I imagine most viewers will wish he comes to the same fate as the chick being bludgeoned to death by a hammer.

The picture quality of this film looks like a Standard Def rip from a poorly broadcast TV station that was bootlegged in China and sent directly to me.

I honestly think the reviewers who scored this film 5/5 were watching a different film.

This review is from: House That Jack Built (DVD)

I like Joe Mantegna, but this movie is the worst I ever saw. Watching paint dry would be more fun. Poor acting, directing, and story. Save your money, don't buy this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic movie!, August 23, 2010

This movie will give you chills. From start to finish, it really delivers the goods. Although the direction is weak and inconsistant-the films lead (Michael Guarnera) is a star in the making. Pick up this little movie-you won't be dissapointed.
