Homewrecker

Well, this is certainly an indie film. It's the feature length debut of director Zach Gayne and it shows. This will divide people into two camps, those who can't get past the inherent flaws, and those who are willing accept them and see the film on it's level.

The lack of budget makes itself known in a handful of ways. It's incredibly minimal in both story and production. The sound and visual are understated, delivering the essentials but never dazzling. The majority of the film takes place in a suburban home and mainly features two actresses who also happened to moonlight as the film's screenwriters. The performances occasionally have that stiff, "made for TV movie" vibe, but as things heat up, the two leads do put their all into their roles and make it work. Stoner heiress Precious Chong really brings her character to life, impressively portraying insanity through subtle facial quirks. There are some moments that are as funny as they are sad, almost allowing you to sympathize with the psychopath, before the inevitable violent payoff. The resolution felt a bit half-hazard, but not maddeningly open ended.

If you were to compare this film to like, a Christopher Nolan movie, then they're barely even the same art form. But compared to the student films that are more rightfully it's peers, it's coherent and doesn't overstay it's welcome, so you could do a lot worse.

Initially I didn't really have any expectations for the 2019 movie "Homewrecker" from writers Precious Chong, Alex Essoe and Zach Gayne, as I hadn't even heard about the movie prior to sitting down to watch it in 2020. I ended up sitting down to watch it, as I hadn't already seen it and I was given the chance to watch it. So of course I did that.

And it turns out that "Homewrecker" was actually a rather enjoyable movie, so it was well worth taking the time out to watch it. And this is definitely a movie that I can recommend you sit down to watch, especially if you enjoy an offbeat horror comedy.

Now, the storyline in "Homewrecker" is not one that require a PH.D. in any sort to keep up with, because it is a very basic and simplistic storyline. Yet director Zach Gayne managed to take very little and make it into something grand. So that was quite the accomplishment.

Something that really carries the movie is the performances of Precious Chong (playing Linda) and Alex Essoe (playing Michelle). Especially Precious Chong, because she was just phenomenal in the movie. I am not familiar with her from other movies, but she really performed well as the unstable and sort of psychotic Linda.

I was genuinely surprised and entertained by "Homewrecker" and I am rating it a six out of ten stars. If you get the chance to sit down and watch this movie, I recommend that you do so.

Poor acting.

Terrible score of super annoying guitar effects.

Multiple shots of a bath bomb in between scenes.

Pathetic excuses for fight scenes.

Didn't laugh once.

That's it. That's my review.

Not the best movie but the twist is there right in your face ! If you get high enough its even pretty funny at times i didnt like the ending tho i think it could have been a lot better .

This one might be a good choice. its like one of roald dahls novels about tales of the unexpected. its a lesswon of psychoactiveness, pair therapy, jealousy and babymaking.

its only the lonely against the one you hate the most in the world, and the reason for that is not obvious, at least not i my mind, so when the final curtain is raced the whole apocaliptic truth is wretched and written all over the wall, in a bloody catfight over.....

its a lowbudget duet and the main actresses does a good attempt to make believe, actually i could place a lot of people that ive known into these caracters, so a job well done.

this is not a blockbuster, more a timefiller that you should see. and if you like to see madness radiate the whole environment, then the grumpy old man recommends
