I have to be honest, I really did enjoy the first fifteen or so minutes of this film, the premise was interesting, some of the scenes quite chilling. Sadly once the film gets into its stride, it falls flat on its face, they did not capitalise on any of the ideas, the mask concept was good, but somehow it was just lost in translation.

The acting wasn't bad, some performances were definitely better than others.

Visually pretty good also, it looked good, that wasn't the issue, the pacing was, for a horror slasher it was very boring at its core.

The ending was too abrupt, it had no tension, no build up, the reveal was pretty obvious, but came about in a haphazard manner.

It's no Scream, it's on par with some lesser slasher movies, watchable as long as your expectations are pretty low. 5/10.

It's a decent High School horror, where someone is printing 3D masks of their victims and revealing their dark secrets through their death. But the title doesn't fit what happens...at all.

I really like the idea of this film as it's something I've not seen before; the killer wearing masks of his/her victims faces. I thought the opening was brilliant. I was intrigued, excited and tense watching it. The death/attack scenes throughout the film were good, although at times slightly far fetched. There were instances when the film fell a little flat and it was a little too obvious who the killer was, which was a shame as they didn't manage to build up enough of a suspect list. And so even with a great idea, it turned into every other low budget teen horror film. By the end, it had turned into one big cliche. I have not read the book and therefore I cannot make comparisons as to if the movie followed the book or which was better. I had high expectations for this but unfortunately I ended up quite disappointed. And when I think of some of the brilliant horror/thriller books I've read that should be turned into films or TV shows, it seems like such a waste. 4/10 simply for the idea and particular scenes.

I can't believe I watched the whole movie. I kept expecting it to get a little better or smarter but it just got more stupid. Avoid at all costs.

Boring. Uninspired plot. Thinly written characters. Lame kills. Let's all just wait for Scream 5 to save the slasher genre once again.

The latest entry in the long list of disposable films in Netflix canon, There's Someone Inside Your House is a run-of-the-mill slasher featuring characters one never grows to care about, motivations & purpose that have no footing, and killings that are delightfully grisly & gleeful. The film starts on a promising note but the interest in the premise fizzles out just as quick.

Directed by Patrick Brice (Creep & Creep 2), the script suffers from a myriad of issues, for its characters are poorly sketched, the drama involving them is bland throughout and dialogues are terrible. The narrative borrows elements from other classics of the genre(s) yet fails to do anything productive with that. The story just doesn't have the required emotional weight to it.

Not only is it apparent that Brice didn't write the film but it is also unlikely that he bothered to employ his cinematic skillset on this straightforward teen slasher offering. It hardly reeks of a foreboding atmosphere, the tension & suspense leaves the room just as soon as the build-up, the teen drama is never for once compelling, and the performances from its cast is also meh.

Overall, There's Someone Inside Your House not only fails to bring anything new or refreshing to the genre but is also lacking the goods to deliver a fun, thrilling & entertaining delight. All it has got going for it are a few graphic kills but that's simply not enough to steer the story past the finish line when there is no one to root for and the shortcomings are so glaring. All in all, a forgettable fare.

No pun intended ... well probably not. But one thing is for sure, this has quite the strong beginning. Which reminded me that many producers especially like if their movie has a strong start ... to get the viewers engaged and compelled to go along for the ride.

The problem some of those movies face for me at times: they can never achieve that high they begin with. And while this remains violent and bloody throughout, it lacks the major reveal and a strong lead. The group we get is fine and the theme is really something the movie deserves respect for ... but it only carries the movie so far.

So a decent effort overall with great effects ... and for some I would imagine a dissapointing ending. But there have been worse efforts.

There's Someone Inside Your House (2021) is a Netflix original I watched last week. The storyline follows a young lady who recently transferred to a new high school due to some challenges she had at her last one. As she makes friends and starts establishing herself a serial killer emerges and starts killing people in her class. What is the killers motives, who's next and can she stop him?

This movie is directed by Patrick Brice (Creep) and stars Sydney Park (The Walking Dead), Théodore Pellerin (Boy Erased), Asjha Cooper (Hysteria), Adrian Hough (Barkskins) and Jade Falcon (DC Legends of Tomorrow).

The storyline for this is actually pretty fun in classic slasher fashion. It reminded me of the 90s films from this genre, Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, etc. The opening for this is very good and there's some great kill scenes that are well done with great gore and blood splatter. Elements of the movie are predictable but it's definitely a fun watch for horror enthusiasts. I would score this a 7/10 and recommend seeing it once.

Good evening, everyone! I'm Mr. C Reviewer, and tonight we'll be diving into the film There's Someone Inside Your House. I had the opportunity to watch it on Netflix. This movie originally premiered on September 23, 2021, and has a runtime of 1 hour and 36 minutes. It is rated for viewers aged 18 and older. Notably, parts of the film were filmed in British Columbia, Canada. As someone on the autism spectrum, I appreciated the inclusion of subtitles, which greatly enhanced my ability to follow along with the dialogue throughout the film. The film was directed by Patrick Brice and written by Henry Gayden. This film was loosely inspired by the book of the same title by Stephanie Perkins, published in 2017. I prefer to read the book before watching its movie adaptation, and I regret not doing so in this case. However, I remain interested in reading the book eventually, and if my interest persists, I plan to explore it in a few years.

Summary:In a quiet Nebraskan town, chaos erupts as an enigmatic killer embarks on a terrifying murder spree. This masked assailant preys on individuals harbouring dark secrets, unearthing the hidden scandals that plague their lives. Makani Young, a newcomer weighed down by her own tragic history, must confront her deepest fears as the death toll rises. With each savage act, tension mounts, compelling the community to face their concealed truths in a frantic struggle for survival.

Review: -I appreciated the film's introduction, which featured character voices engaging in gossip about the events unfolding in the opening scene. This was complemented by visuals of characters from the school yearbook, alongside a depiction of someone crafting 3D masks based on those photographs. The film's opening captivated me with its engaging and intriguing sequence, which established a compelling tone for the rest of the movie. It was both chilling and mesmerizing, effectively immersing me in the unfolding narrative. I appreciated how the film functions as a cautionary narrative emphasizing the significance of authenticity, the consequences of bullying, societal privilege, and the critical need for accountability in personal relationships. While it endeavours to tackle serious issues such as racism and LGBTQIA+ matters, I feel that these themes could have been explored with greater depth and nuance. While I appreciated the pacing of the movie, it occasionally felt inconsistent; some segments lingered too long while others hurried through crucial plot developments. Nevertheless, this pacing was arguably fitting for a narrative centred on a serial killer who reveals high school students' secrets to the community just before their murders, as it effectively heightened anticipation for pivotal moments. Although the film began with a strong momentum, it eventually settled into a rhythm where the tension diminished too rapidly following its climactic build-ups. The abrupt transitions in certain scenes and the absence of sustained suspense ultimately detracted from my overall enjoyment of the film. I found the casting for the movie to be quite commendable, as the actors effectively brought their roles to life despite the material they were given. Their performances significantly enhanced the overall quality of the film, with some cast members particularly shining and making a more notable impact than others. I found the soundtrack to be quite compelling, as the carefully curated music selection enriched the film's atmosphere, elevating specific scenes and shaping the overall tone. The integration of songs during pivotal moments, such as lively parties or intimate interactions between characters, effectively highlighted the emotional stakes and social dynamics at play.

-The depiction of gore in the film was impressively executed, contributing to a striking sense of realism. I was captivated by the film's cinematography, which expertly employed a variety of shot types to enhance its narrative. The gentle lighting established a nuanced atmosphere that I found appealing; however, while all the essential elements in each frame were distinctly visible, some parts could have benefited from additional brightness. Personally, I often adjust my screen's brightness for a better viewing experience, which proved particularly advantageous during this film.

-I enjoyed meeting several of the characters in the film. The way the movie introduced us to the main characters was engaging, and I appreciated the glimpses we got into their family backgrounds. However, I would have liked to learn more about their families and delve deeper into their personalities. Additionally, I found it intriguing how we explored one character's past through segments of their dreams, which added depth to their storyline.

-While I found the movie to be somewhat predictable at times, it did manage to keep me engaged in trying to uncover the identity of the killer. Interestingly, the character who turned out to be the culprit was indeed among my initial suspects, particularly since they had limited screen time. In fact, this individual remained on my list of potential suspects for the longest duration compared to the rest of the cast. While I appreciated the film's conclusion and enjoyed witnessing the events of the final scene, I felt that the climax lacked sufficient tension and build-up. The suddenness of the near-ending left me feeling a bit unfulfilled, as there was a noticeable absence of emotional depth and suspense leading up to the ultimate revelation.

I rate each film I watch out of 10 and for this one, I give it a 7.8 Remember this was what I thought about the movie personally and I suggest that you give it a go for yourself.

Even the movie is not original because it follows the conventional slasher script, including teens, drama, and several gory deaths, it's quite acceptable If you are a fan of Scream series/movies.

Keep your expectations on the right place, and enjoy, it's just an acceptable B slasher movie.

I am fed up of horror not taking the genre seriously.

All current horror movies are the same. They pretend to be funny and 80's vibe and music. But funny in a bad way.

Please movie creators follow Scream or Halloween movies!

This movie was really really bad. But, I did make it to the end! So it gets a minimum of 2 Stars! 2/10.

I'm legitimately wondering why this movie was even made. It is nothing new, exciting, special. It was ok as a one time watch if you're willing to overlook stupid decisions, usual teenage drama and an obvious plot twist.

They seemed to forget they were writing a slasher, instead drifting into an unaware, or maybe overly self aware, coming of age story in modern times. As a result I played 2048 which is a very simple yet addicting game which, despite being low tech and numbers based, kept my attention longer than this film.

If you have read the book, DO NOT WATCH! This movie was utterly disappointing and NOTHING like the book. I wish I could give it a negative rating. All I can say is that this is STRAIGHT AND UTTER TRASH.

This slasher film is centred on the students of a high school in rural Nebraska. It opens with a member of the football team waking up to realise there is somebody in his house. He finds photographs documenting his homophobic assault on another player which lead him to a closet. Here he is attacked and killed by a masked assailant... the mask looking like his own face. Inevitably the next day the other students at the school are speculating who might have been behind the attack. Of course he isn't the last to die; soon after somebody who likes to show off their right on tolerance at school is exposed as a racist before being killed. Our protagonists are outsiders to some degree; Makani Young, a girl who changed her name and moved to Nebraska following an incident elsewhere; Darby, a transgender kid; and Zach Sandford, the son of an unpopular local business man to name just three. With it looking like the killer is targeting people with secrets everybody suddenly becomes keen to confess anything they might have done; whether or not it will save them is unknown.

This is a decent enough edition to the high school slasher genre. I can't see it becoming a classic but it passed ninety minutes well enough. The basic plot was nothing new but it had some fun twists; I particularly liked the killer wearing a mask of their victim. At times I wasn't sure if the film was trying to push a moral agenda or mocking those who act right-on but will not tolerate any disagreement... perhaps it was just trying to tap into the debate without picking a side to avoid offending anybody. The identity of the killer isn't a huge surprise despite early attempts to set up other suspects. There are less killings than I expected although those that there are are quite bloody. The cast is solid enough. I'm not sure about the title given that much of the deadly action takes place outside the victims' houses; I can only assume this wasn't the case in the book. Overall I'd say this is worth checking out if you are a fan of the genre; you won't waste too much time even if you don't like it.

C'mon, we are grown up people... this is all beyond any willing suspension of disbelief even for slasher/horror movie lovers.

I wasn't expecting something so dumb from the guy who brought us something as clever and wicked like both Creep and Creep 2 What a waste of time...

But I had far too many leftists innuendos in the movie for me. I want to see a movie not get into politics.

Maybe I did not die instantly, but I remembered watching this movie, then I died from cringe, literally.

A spoiled ending and a plotdrive that deccelerates at moments, its a pretty intense horrorthriller from deep rednecked nebraskan corn fields , with a highschool so average for america with the nerds and the footballers makes the social divide(not race this time).

A muurderer is loose on the school ground, why and who is hard to say, and the culprit revealed in the end came as a small surprise to me.

Giving this a one or 2 star is plain cheating or netflix hate, its a wellmade film, some dubious special fire effects though, the score keeps you at the bait, and the kills are slippery and wet, so if you like that its a recommend, should kids see it, no not really. The grumpy old man though had a good time so try it is my adviice if you like a good teenage high thrill.

6/10 - this movie should've been 100% up my alley and it was until some really poor creative choices that plague the second and third acts; however, I could still see this becoming a Halloween classic (and it'll be worth a rewatch for the killer's unique mask plot point and solid soundtrack)

The title alone shows how much thought and care were put into this movie.
