I didn't think this was as bad as everyone else claimed... Seriously everyone said the acting was awful and was hard to get past but I didn't think it was that bad. Maybe because I went in expecting it to be terrible and so my expectations were low, I'm not sure but I will say that the evil biotch did a pretty good job because I hated her and she must've been believable if I hated her character that much. I mean when she had him kill his wife's cat, I WANTED TO KILL THE B*TCH myself! I mean come on that was pretty FB'd up! Leave the animals out of it! So basically im saying the acting must not have been to bad if I was actually passed off at her in real life. I think it's underrated, I mean it's a low budget thriller what do people expect! It's been done similar before but it's still better than rewatching other movies in my opinion so I'd say if you have free time and your bored and the movie is streaming free then go for it. I wouldn't pay for it but definitely worth a watch for free. Ill guve it 8 stars just to bump it up, really prob worth a 6 tho

Another review on here writes "Mayra Leal shows some T&A but one would do MUCH better merely watching Machete instead" HA! Her scene in Machete lured me into renting this wacky illogical soft core slasher movie. Unfortunately, Ms. Leal's acting talents and voluptuous quotient were quite deceptive in Machete--more does not always mean better; in Machete we only get a one minute glimpse of the Latin cutie before her quick demise. In House, each minute she is on screen further shortens her future chances in legitimate cinema. If you are watching this on DVD, the previews from this same production company give you a warning what you are in store for.

Newlyweds, Jen and Mitch mistakenly let Danny move in with them into their new house. We know Danny's a bit of a tool who makes awful life choices from the get go as his idea of a housewarming gift is a PS3 (any self respecting gamer would've at least got them a 360) Turns out his choice in women is slightly less atrocious, cue entrance of attractive yet psychotic online dater Claire who turns the whole house on its head.The acting is abysmal and granted it might be some semblance of fun to see all of these mind-numbingly stupid characters be manipulated by dime store psychology in theory, in practice it's a tad infuriating.My Grade: DEye Candy: Mayra Leal shows some T&A but one would do MUCH better merely watching Machete instead

I believe this movie is a winner. Playing House does not go overboard nor slips to a poor or boring viewing. Within the theme of an innocent couple caught in the fateful hands of a scheming seductress, it delivers very well.Good suspense throughout and you actually feel some shudder watching the stone-cold Mayra Leal(impressive as the femme fatale Blair).Everybody else like Craig Welzbacher(as Dr.Mitch) and Sarah Prikryl(as Dr. Mitch's wife) are good too.Not to mention, some steamy scenes now & then that really turns up the heat in this wild, suspense flick!Verdict - Surprisingly good. And also, blissfully HOT ;)
