This film is "awful". I cannot believe I just sat through this. There is quite literally ZERO script. House of Dust is like the worst improv you have ever seen. There is literally nothing I can say about this film will make this any better for you.The review on here by Delia Berlin is "blatantly" written by the director or the writer. It is "that" obvious guys..... sorry to call you out.I have literally NO IDEA AT ALL of how this film got any funding with this screenplay. Atrocious.The actress playing the lead character is obviously very talented, and was the 'only' reason I watched the film to the end.The script didn't seem to include any writing for any of the other characters, so the film seemed reliant on continual drone-like music, which drowned out every single scene. Any film with continual music, should be an indicator that it is a bad film, because there is nothing else it can offer.You really shouldn't watch this if you see this comment. If you have read this comment and then gone onto watch House of Dust? then you know why you're feeling like a complete idiot right now.

This is a movie that is for sure good as a cheap rental. It needed more action/a faster pace at certain points of the movie though to make it better for more people and to make it likable for a wider audience. Also with a bigger budget they could have had some better special effects but what they did have didn't look bad on screen. In regards to the story I liked the idea of how this spirit came about possessing people. There also was an interesting back story even if it wasn't too complex but it was well set out for us at the beginning. I also think the ending was interesting in that the spirit found a host which it should be able to control easier and mold into what he needs the person to become so he can create more havoc on the earth eventually. Definitely a second movie could be made and be entertaining. No way this movie was a 1 like someone said on the IMDb message boards for this movie and yeah it wasn't a blockbuster 8+ movie but it was watchable and enjoyable for the most part. Also in regards to the acting for this it was solid if not spectacular. I have seen much, much worse and the acting did not make me want to shut off the movie. As for specific acting Inbar Lavi is smoking hot. I don't think people are going to mind seeing more of her on the big screen. She delivered her lines fine and it would have been interesting to see if this cast could have handled a more fast paced script which is what this movie should have had more of. Hopefully we will see this in a sequel. To be honest I can't remember the last person in a movie that I said was smoking hot before Inbar Lavi in a long while. A new pretty face for the movies? Maybe.I hate to put a score out of 10 on this and so I won't if I don't have to while posting this review.

As far as the haunted house genre of movie, this one was not one of the best in it's field, by far, however there have been much worse. The acting was actually not that bad at all. The actress who plays "Gaby" also has a role on the MTV show Teen Wolf. This is also not the first role for any of the cast, so more or less, they get the job done. While I understand that this was based off something that happened at a real crematorium, I believe they went about explaining everything in a what that was not very believable. I hate the type of movies where the lead characters do plan stupid stuff just to the movie doesn't end. Everyone knows that no one in their right mind would do something "like that" but they always end up doing it anyway. I say, if you're bored, you have nothing to lose. Just don't spend money on it.

Beautifully shot ghost story full of spooky moon lit scenes of northeast Connecticut. Recognizing scenes of the wonderful campus of Eastern Connecticut State University is a special treat for Willimantic area fans. Inspired by a real story of cremation remains of patients found at an abandoned asylum for the "mentally insane" this fantasy often gets too close to reality for comfort. A.D. Calvo has a knack for contrasting beauty and horror, both through images and sounds. This is not a movie to watch alone. In the end, the boundaries of mental health and sanity blur as fantasy and reality trade places. As always, questions are answered as new questions remain.
