House of Abraham

I had the pleasure of seeing this film on a school trip and when I went did I did NOT expect a single thing which was amazing. The film was very nicely written and very amazingly shot. The characters were all very notable in their own ways and the dialogue felt very natural. Every single, actor and the characters they played kept me drawn in the whole time and holy moly THE PLOT TWISTS. The plot twists will have you jump out of your seat like "WHAT!" This movie also does a pretty good job with it's depictions of mental health and the battles people really go through. AMAZING FILM PLEASE WATCH.

Absolutely brilliantly-penned film, a tour de force by all actors, a well-developed thriller/horror film that you must RUN to see!

Natasha Henstridge is as stunning as ever; Lukas Hassel is as handsomely menacing as ever; and Lin Shaye is as Lin Shaye as ever... if not more so! The rest of the cast is incredible!

This is everything you want out of a film in this genre! Twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat. A never seen before story. Brilliant performances. Beautiful locations! And some perfectly-uncomfortable scenes that will grip you tight, steal your breath, shake you up, and leave you wanting to run home- yet still want to stay for more! Highly recommend you see this gem!

We saw this at the wonderful Kan Kan Theater in Indy last night July 19, 2025 at a showing with Producer Vance Hinton present for pre and post showing comments. The movie pulls you in, shocks you and then has a huge curve ball leading to a very satisfying ending. I'm not sure there is any movie I've ever seen to even compare it to. Mr. Hinton answered numerous post movie questions from the audience and he was very informative and humorous about how this independent movie came to be. That was a very nice bonus appreciated by all there ending in much applause for his comments. The movie is a 9/10 as it is so unique and powerful. Highly recommend.

I saw House of Abraham last night and I woke up replaying some of the most chilling scenes in my head. I wasn't sure what to expect from the film, but boy it kept me riveted. Sublime performances, writing, and directing made for a creepy and haunting viewing experience I won't soon forget. I especially appreciated the spots of dark humor that helped break up the somber tone, and the off-the-rails performance from genre legend Lin Shaye as the suicide guru's evil henchwoman. And the plotting will keep you guessing as it twists and turns into unexpected directions. Not everyone's cup of tea, but if you gravitate towards the dark side, don't miss House of Abraham.

House of Abraham commits to sharing the human condition and the choices we make when we are at our most vulnerable. It's rich in layers that continue to unfold after watching the film. I appreciate the exploration of what happens when manipulation takes control of the psyche, and the weight the characters carry as a result is intriguing. I could feel the inner conflict of the characters. It's also clear that the writer and director were thoughtful and careful in their exploring the themes. It's easy to fall into cliches, which you'll understand what I mean once you see the film. The twist is cathartic to top it all off. Well acted, deep and thought provoking!
