The Perfect Husband

4/10.

Boring and undeveloped until the last half hour of the film, although there is some mystery throughout the film that seems to hold attention, but for most it would probably not be enough to watch it to the end. Overall below average.

Having suffered the loss of their child at birth a married couple take a short break at a remote cabin in the woods (not exactly an original destination for horror movies!). Naturally things don't go to plan, the first half of this film has Antichrist spring to mind , only nowhere near as good. And it does start to drag, but then midway we're suddenly thrown into torture porn and slasher territory, To it's credit it doesn't hold back on the gore but sadly that's about the only good thing on offer here. Acting is pretty weak, especially Bret Roberts and Carl Wharton, with his northern English accent playing a ranger in Italy! Although it doesn't appear to be set anywhere in particular I would prefer to have seen it subtitled & in Italian with better actors. Italy has made many stylish, classic horror films over the decades but frankly this just looks like an American movie made in Europe for budget reasons. Boring first half, gory second half but silly & unconvincing twist. Easily forgettable effort.

As a horror film fan, I have wanted to see "The Perfect Husband" for a while, ever since I saw the violent trailer and clips. It does not disappoint in the gory violence department, but I found it to be too short, with an abrupt ending. Still, the film is a haunting exploration of the darkest corners of the human psyche; a portrait that doubles, or maybe masquerades, as a slasher.

Gabriella Wright is good in the role of Viola, although her role does not demand much from her, except for a few scenes of considerable emotional range. The final minutes of the movie include an unbelievable twist that is sure to leave the viewer in a state of shock.

This Italian film is not a must-see film by any means, but it is a must for art-house and horror film fans.

Nice psychological horror film. It's a low budget movie but it's stylish and well filmed. It is disgustingly brutal, and emotionally draining but it's beautiful and artistically drenched. The story is heavy with rich symbolism, the acting is brave! The cinematography is genuinely beautiful, nice plot, nice soundtrack and good atmosphere. The movie is alienating, loved the final twist.... A very stylish, tense film, truly a suspense-thriller-horror to be proud of from the Italy, It marks a return to the style of old school horror directors such as Dario Argento, Tobe Hooper and John Carpenter. i'd suggest you give it a watch

Watched it last night and just loved it...Well done. I felt that the movie was reminiscent of the works of Alexandre Aja. The gratuitous blood and gore of most movies of today was replaced by suspense and off camera incidence and handled very well. As an avid movie watcher I can usually catch the direction a story is going in by at least 1/3 the way in. Not so with this one. Where most stories have a twist at the end, I found this ending to be more of a corkscrew. The photography is excellent and the production design looks remarkable. Good acting by all the actors involved (bret roberts,gabriella wright). This is, in my opinion, a must see for even the average movie watcher. Nothing is as it seems... A great experience of madness with a good final twist

A well made indie movie. I had not heard of it
