I guess if you don't know what constitutes a good art film, you'll think this film is good........2005-11-16

But otherwise just skip it. This film is nothing more than a bad art film with a whole of shots of leafless trees, and a few random shots of ducks and things like that. It kinda feels like an episode of PBS's Nature interspersed with a woman with cheap effects on her spouting endless exposition and a couple doing copule-ish things for a while.

But oh man. Forget the couple. That exposition. Ok, so there's a woman. And instead of a narration we get to see her with some really bad camera effects. Discoloration and inverted colors and all that. It's like the director just found it on his camera and decided it was cool and used it. It's bad. And boring.

I have no problem with indie films. Or even art films. But this comes off so bad, as if it was made by a bunch of amatuer middle schoolers.

At least I had fun talking like an announcer for Nature during all those prolonged shots of leafless trees. That's really all the entertainment I got out of this movie.

Different is Good.......2005-10-28

I really love indie films, and a friend of mine let me check out Insaniac (another John Specht/Robin Garrels collaboration). Production-wise, it was a little rough around the edges, but the writing and the performances were great, so when I heard that Garrels and Specht collaborated again on this, I had to check it out.

Well, Last House was...different. Not that different is a bad thing. I wasn't expecting anything like this though. It doesn't play out like a normal movie. There's a story, but most of the film is filled with bizarre imagery and quirky soundscrapes that all felt kinda poetic in a way. I'm a little surprised this got released on DVD since it's a very non-traditional movie that will definitely rub mainstream moviegoers the wrong way. Kudos to Sub Rosa for putting this flick on DVD. If you're looking for a regular, linear storyline, you should probably steer clear of this one, but if you're looking for something strange and unusual, you might want to give this one a try.

How dumb.......2005-04-09

No matter how bad this movie was, I have to admit that it was the best Sub Rosa release I've seen. Now that I've got that out:

What a terrible flick. 99% of it has no dialogue, it's just poorly filmed images that, I guess, were designed to horrify, but are more likely to make you bored out of your wits. It's 70 minutes of garbage that could have been condensed to 5 minutes of slightly more tolerable garbage, but I can only assume that this was some prissy college kid's art project that had to run for over an hour. Hopefully he flunked.

Garbage.......2005-03-26

This is the worst. Most of the movie is pictures of tree branches. The gore is basically tomato juice on a white shirt and red nails. Don't ask? Movies like this give horror movies a bad name. Should be avoided like the plague!!!!!!!!!!!!!

beautiful.......2004-07-03

so far there have been two reviews for this film. one good and one bad but they are both good reviews in my eyes. like the first review said, this is a bizarre and non-"traditional" horror film, which unfortunatly is the opposite of what the average film goer wants to see. even the ones who look for "different" types of films cannot tolerate it when somthing truly experimental comes along. now to the second review. by saying that the film made absolutly no sense and had things for no apparent reason they simply confirmed what the first review pointed out. to certain people these are very good things and are the very type of things they seek out and long for. but to most these things are considered poor nonsense. to me these views in many cases stem greatly from the average persons ignorance of any presence of the collective unconcious. anyways the complaint about the lack of gore just confirms even more how great the film is since it doesnt have to resort to such things. gore films are what i consider the opposite of good horror. this is a beautiful film.

very disappointing.......2007-05-27

The film has some great atmosphere, spooky and isolated old house, and few truly gory scenes, but, that's all, as right through it alternates between tree brunches (pointless...!) x-ray vision of a ghost face which plays the most important role of updating the viewer with the story, and some slow-montion crap mistaken for action. Sorry. but it also gave me the impression it has finished before even started! If you are true lover of a horror movies, look elsewhere.
