This movie is incredible. Humble, hilarious, unfiltered and smart. You have wicked exploitation elements, smart writing, classy young actors, weird stuff, funny stuff and gore. Gritty, old-school... Homesick reminded me how much fun exploitation horror movies are.(This movie is very gory. Somehow it all seems in good fun though...) (Bill Moseley is a very good actor.) (Where did they get the rest of these actors? I feel like I have not seen this caliber of acting in a film on this budget before. Really refreshing to see some original behavior in this genre.) (Keep your eyes on these filmmakers, they know what we want...)

I haven't seen it in a while. Let me think if I can cook up some words for it. I know that I am going to review it once Synapse releases it. I loved Bill Mosely's performance. Its a bizarre and gory acid trip. The blood is thick and its too weird to be predictable. Its not by any means conventional but thats what kept my mind on the movie after I watched it. There's stuff for fans of brainless splatter entertainment and a wacky/ artsy vibe that should appeal to art-house fans that can accept some thing low brow. It's a psychedelic slasher thats more original than typical but impossible to describe. The ending is wacky!Synapse should be putting this out on DVD sometime this year!

The first time I saw this film, I was a bit confused. Then someone explained to me that the movie was dream-like intentionally, kinda like a David Lynch in hell type of thing. Upon re-watching the movie, I enjoyed it much, much more. Everything made much more sense, when you understand that you are gazing into someones death-dream. I was blown away by it the second time around, although I still had to watch many scenes thru my fingers. The gore was very convincing, almost too convincing. Beware everybody, this film is for those with strong stomachs. I thought the parts that were supposed to be funny, were VERY funny. I laughed out loud a few times. The ending, unlike Eli Roth's claim for Hostel 2, that it was something no one ever saw before (yeah right) actually IS something no one ever saw before, although no one connected to the film has said that. I guess when you deliver the goods, the way the filmmakers have done with Home Sick, you don't need to self promote. This may be Bill Mosely's best roll. He was absolutely perfect as the Razorblade man. And naked Tiffany.....

I was extremely surprised to see how well done Home Sick was. Not only as a horror film, but in its presentation and its development as any film. Adam Wingard is a young director and you can tell a huge horror and film fan. This film will give you an idea of how great a fairly low budget film can be. I went in thinking it would be more of a thriller. I was thrilled to find out it was a true slasher gore fest. I was laughing uncontrollably. The movie was packed with great special effects and once the story develops, it is a real fun and entertaining film. The cinematography and sound effects were also really impressive. I can't wait to see what this team of filmmakers will come up with next. I really believe Home Sick is a truly entertaining and well done horror film.
