Housebound (2014)
My rating: 5/10
I mean, I think they were trying to subvert some of the shittier horror tropes regarding mental illness, which, good on them for that I guess, but I still didn't find this one terribly engaging.

Housebound - 2014
Morgana O'Reilly, Rima Te Wiata, Glen-Paul Waru, Ross Harper, Cameron Rhodes, Mick Innes
Review: Well, from the reviews of this that I read before I watched the movie, it seems as if I'm in the minority here in not really caring for this movie. They tried something different which I can appreciate, but overall I think it spread itself to thin and didn't really nail any of the things it tried.
The movie is a horror/comedy and starts with a woman named Kylie and her accomplice try to rob an ATM machine, which ends in them being caught, and her being placed under house arrest at her mother's house. We find out as the movie goes on that this house is a hotspot for local tragedy and history. She's assigned a probation officer, as well as a mandated counselor that comes and does sessions with her on a regular basis.
The first part of this is a haunting. We find out that the house use to be part of an asylum and an angry spirit is still hanging around the house because a counselor from the old asylum did something resulting in her death. It turns out the Kylie's probation officer is also an amateur ghost hunter, and they hunt for ghosts. These few scenes are the only ones in the movie that made me laugh, and I enjoyed quite a lot.
I was getting into the story about the haunting, but then it all of a sudden switches and the movie focuses on the fact that there has been a man living in the walls of the house without them knowing.
The fact that they decided to go with a dude living in the walls doesn't make any sense to me. They have a scene in the movie where Kylie's cell phone rings. She is on the second story of the house when the phone starts to ring. She assumes it's in her bag, and searches for it, but the phone ends up being all the way down in the basement. So, you're trying to tell me that she could clearly here her cell phone ring from the second story of the house, to the point where she thinks it's actually in the room with her, but a dude has gone unnoticed living in the walls of the house?
The movie tries to do to much. They have the haunting, the dude living in the walls, and then the end when they do the twist reveal of Kylie's counselor being the one that killed the girl in the asylum back in the day. He then tries to kill them, and chases them around the house. It all comes together in the end, and Kylie wins.
The movie was alright. In my opinion it was mediocre in all of what it tried to take on, and it makes the movie incredibly forgettable. It's also lacking on the comedy parts, and the horror parts.
5.6/10

Chris: Housebound is a suspense / horror / comedy from New Zealand, this is very much recommended, great plot and writing, far better than most, about a difficult, pushy, rebellious lady on home house arrest, Watch: On Subscription Service.
Richie: Housebound was a funny, quirky, dark comedy, very entertaining, Watch: On Subscription Service.

Housebound
Gerard Johnston’s Kiwi comic horror film HOUSEBOUND (2014, on Shudder) could probably stand to lose about ten minutes, but I never begrudged him the extra time, because the overall results were so enchanting. After a really stupid attempt to rob an ATM, self-styled rebel Kylie (Morgana O’Reilly) is sentenced to eight months of house arrest with her estranged mother (Rima Te Wiata). There’s nothing malicious about mom. She’s just a little loopy, insisting that their big old house is haunted. After a few nights, O’Reilly begins to believe her, which works out fine since her parole officer (Glen-Paul Waru) dabbles in paranormal research. The story has lots of twists before getting to the end, which tends to match Johnston’s offbeat sense of humor. He sets the tone from the first scene, when the sledgehammer O’Reilly’s accomplice takes to the ATM bounces back and hits him in the head. Even though the story is grounded in a pretty horrific murder (that we never see), when things get violent it maintains its Road Runner cartoon quality. All of the cast manage a good balance between horror and comedy, with special props to Te Wiata, a formidable comic actress who’s the perfect embodiment of the type of mother you love coming home to for about three days.

Não se enganem quando reparam que é um filme de terror e mistério com comédia à mistura. Não pensem também que é uma tentativa neozelandesa de fazer um novo “Scary Movie”. Este filme tem tanto de terror como de comédia.
