Sweet Home

source: Sweet Home

The film opens with a killer on Christmas Eve of an elderly woman in an old apartment building in Barcelona. Months later Alicia (Ingrid García Jonsson) inspects the nearly abandoned building for a real estate company. She uses the building as a secret rendezvous for her boyfriend Simon's (Bruno Sevilla) birthday. He is English and is in the medical profession, needing to go back to school. While they are there...not to give too much away, but there is another break-in like the first and Alicia and Simon star in a "home" break-in film of hide and seek. Oriol Tarrida Homedes plays the bad guy who wears all black, has oversize ominous boots, wears a respirator (I don't know why) and drags the large cliche axe. There is apparently some confusion in Spain about which slasher characters belong where. Nothing new to see here. Guide F-bomb. No sex. Ingrid García Jonsson in black bra and panties.

Thrilling movie with sudden bursts of violence , set in Madrid where a young real state broker : Ingrid Garcia Jonsson plans a secret meeting with her boyfriend : Bruno Sevilla, and both of whom are about to face the worst night of their lives when some burglars trespass into the home . But things don't go as they planned . As things go awry when the group of violent killers appearing at the building are surprised by the distressed couple , and they then are attempting to murder them. Tension and fear take over them all , while the pursuers go after the deranged pursued couple in a relentless chase . Later on, there shows up a liquidator causing wreak havoc and destruction. Thrilling and scary film about an extremely violent invasion home, what follows is a merciless deadly game of a cat-and-mouse resulting in unexpected consequences. Lots of action, violence, blood and gory scenes , but it's all fairly routine , though being well made . The movie packs a claustrophobic atmosphere , hair-rising frames and surprising scenes . The violent story belongs to " Home Invasion" sub-genre , being shot in the wake of "Michael Hanake's Funny Games" , "Miguel Angel Vivas' Secuestrados" , "Walter Hill's Trespass" , "Joel Schumacher's Trespass" , and "Enric Alberich's Transgression" , in all of them some nasty invaders enter violently at a house causing mayhem and chaos against unfortunate victims . This Sweet Homme 2015 is mostly played by two main stars : Ingrid Garcia Jonsson and Bruno Sevilla giving decent interpretations. Accompanied by an unknown support cast playing the sadistic invaders. The motion picture was professionally made by Rafa Martinez, though with no much originality, displaying the usual issue about the Axe Killer carrying out a criminal spree. Being this one his first movie, though previously directed Shorts as "Halloween Before Christmas" and "Zombies and cicarettes". Rating : 6.5/10. The film will appeal to thriller/terror enthusiasts. Well worth watching .

This was just ok for me. It's been done before with only the characters and the locations being changed. It was filmed pretty good and there was a real attempt to keep suspense consistent. The actors were decent and while the storyline could have used a little work, it wasn't off putting. All in all it was a decent watch.

This movie is definitely more of a thriller than a horror,but what a thrill it was to watch.The story was tight,for the most part,and the acting from the Swedish female lead,Ingrid García Jonsson,is more than respectable,unfortunately I can't say the same for Bruno Sevilla,who plays her boyfriend Simon,I just felt that he was simply walking through the part and his heart wasn't in it.The main bad guy, Oriol Tarrida Homedes,never said a word which made his character all the more sinister.There were a couple of cliché moments,but not many and if you let those get to you,you lead a pretty sad life.Cinematography was brilliant,dark and very clever.All in all this is a movie I will be more than happy to give a second watch,just so I can catch any moments I may have missed on the first.

Sexy star Ingrid García Jonsson is that authentically rare Swedish/Spanish badass. Hell, let's be real. She's probably the ONLY one. Director/Co-Writer Rafa Martinez succeeds in slathering on the suspense. These takeaways notwithstanding, where was the grand dénouement? Rarely has there been a more roundly disappointing conclusion to an otherwise mostly competent horror/thriller than we witness at the back end of "Sweet Home". And adding to the disappointment, the 1970s pop radio hit "Eres Tu" is introduced at precisely the right moment during a critical climactic scene. But almost as soon as it starts the schmaltzy * sincere song suddenly vanishes. We DEMAND more MOCEDADES! With this in mind, I offer a respectfully resolute, and most appropriate, message to the well meaning but ultimately off the mark filmmakers behind "Sweet Home". It's not us. "It is You".

One time watch..Definitely one of the films,that you forget as soon as you finish watching...But,if there is nothing to do,it will do to kill some time)

What a waste of time. The main characters make one moronic decision after the next. Whoever gave this movie anything above 5 stars must have worked on the movie. Please don't waste your time with this garbage.

After seen Don't Breathe (2016) my best friend told me to pick up this flick. So I did and I'm happy I did because it's a hell of a ride. It's not all that good, it's not that you think, aaa it's all over now and things start over again. Here you could see it coming so no suspense on that part but it's the effects used and the brutality that makes it worth watching. It do involves a bit of romance and in some parts the romance takes over but there's a thing, just before you think, omg, not the romance again you're in for a smasher. For a first attempt as a full feature Rafa Martinez did well. The story itself is a bit over the top. Nothing is explained and so this can go from a romance into a home invasion towards a slasher. For me all things were done with a wink towards black comedy. Just see the beginning, the old lady going to the shower, guess everybody said, noooooo nudity here please. Well done. But what it adds toward the story I don't know and as mentioned before the romance and the head (you will see) is black comedy too. Don't get me wrong, no humor at all, pure horror. Gore 2/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 3/5 Story 2,5/5 Comedy 0/5

All tension was lost after Ali told Simon all the windows were bricked up and they couldn't escape. None of the windows are bricked up. Not even the ground floor. There aren't even bars on the windows. Escape would have been very easy. I couldn't ignore that.
