Description: The graduating
class at Osborne High is being targeten by a masked assailant, intent on exploring
the darkest secret of each victim, and only a group of misfit outsiders can
stop the killings.
Review: “There’s Someone Inside Your House” is the film adaptation of the novel of
the same name. In the film, a masked thriller targets a group of teenagers who
all carry a secret with them. The killer is out to expose the teens with
secrets and kill them in gruesome ways.
The opening of the film is
quite promising. Unfortunately, the pace sags considerably halfway through. This
is due to the fact that the teenagers we follow are not particularly
interesting. Aside from the lead character Makani, we don’t get much backstory
from the youngsters, which makes them very superficial and one-dimensional.
Thus, they only serve one purpose: to be killed. This could work fine in the
slasher genre, but not here. And the questions “who is the culprit” eventually means
little. By the end of the film, the tension is gone and you’re left with the feeling
that there could have been more to it.
Is there nothing good about
this film? Yes, there is. The appearance of the killer is creative. He wears the
“face” of the person he is about to murder. And the few kills we get, are
filmed well.
It’s moderately
entertaining, but highly forgettable.
Rating: 2/ 5
