The Perfect House…of Horrors
The Perfect House is a horror anthology released in 2012 starring Felissa Rose and Jonathan Tiersten of Sleepaway Camp fame. This film was strongly recommended by a friend and did not disappoint.
The stories revolve around a house that a young couple is intending on buying. The couple goes to look at the home and possibly make an offer. Led by the sexiest realtor I have ever seen (Ed Note: You don’t watch enough porn) complete with boobs hanging out of her business suit, the kids tour the home. At some point during the tour the kids are shown the basement. It is there where they start asking questions when they spy suspicious stains on the floor. Although many terrible things have occurred in this home, much of the violence has occurred in the basement. This house has a history of violence that involves multiple owners — whomever owns this house ends up committing terrible crimes in it. Is it the house or the people? I’m not sure even now but I had fun trying to figure it out.
Although this is low budget horror film there is plenty to praise. I enjoyed the stories, acting, and pace. Jonathan was quite convincing as a psycho serial killer with a sense of humor. Felissa definitely put the SCREAM in “Scream Queen”. The Perfect House held my attention and kept me quite entertained for 90 minutes. I was a bit disappointed with a few of the effects but overall there were decent kills and for the budget I was impressed. I have seen plenty of horror films with bigger budgets full of lazy kills that made no attempt when clearly they could have afforded to.
To sum it up if you are a gore hound who likes a lot of murder in their horror movies and a little humor and drama thrown in, this is a fun film.
