Review
When you see the title of this movie, you would probably expect a horror movie about someone who is home alone and a dangerous person broke into the house. Well, even though the movie started like that, I still think this is not the right title for this movie. Because most of the time they are not at home at all. So I got a completely different movie than I expected it. I could have known this if I had watched the trailer but I never watch movie trailers because they spoil too much.
But if we just ignore the wrong title for this movie, I thought it was a pretty decent movie. At least, it was a pretty decent movie for me. I am going to admit, I have a love and hate relationship with horror movies. I think they are pretty cool at first, but when I watch them I am scared. Well, I can tell you that this movie did not scare me at all. Yes, there is a lot of blood, but there were 0 moments that made me jump. Which is a good thing for me, since I hate (or love, I don’t know) those moments.
While some people knew immediately who the killer was, I had absolutely no idea. I try to guess it but I was wrong so many times. But after watching this movie, it kind of make sense. I feel dumb because I ignored all of those signs. It was pretty obvious. And of course, just like in other horror movies, people made really stupid decisions. There was a kid and he was about to get murdered at a party. Everyone at the party was running in the same direction but not this guy. This guy decided it was a great idea to run the opposite way. I mean, that is how you know this person gets killed because now he was alone with this killer. But I guess a horror movie where people made smart decisions would have been boring.
And talking about this party. Who thought it was a great idea to throw a party while people were murdered. A normal person would mourn. But not these kids! They pretend nothing happened. Which was so weird.
Anyway, I still liked the movie. I am not sure why it gets a lot of bad reviews on IMDB. For me, it was an all-right movie. Nothing too scary, which I like. The killing parts were gross to see though. I don’t like blood. I can imagine that this is the movie you want to watch with your friends and laugh about the stupid mistakes they make. If you expect a real horror movie that will haunt you for the rest of the day/night, you will be disappointed.
