Sexy star Ingrid García Jonsson is that authentically rare Swedish/Spanish badass. Hell, let's be real. She's probably the ONLY one. Director/Co-Writer Rafa Martinez succeeds in slathering on the suspense. These takeaways notwithstanding, where was the grand dénouement? Rarely has there been a more roundly disappointing conclusion to an otherwise mostly competent horror/thriller than we witness at the back end of "Sweet Home".And adding to the disappointment, the 1970s pop radio hit "Eres Tu" is introduced at precisely the right moment during a critical climactic scene. But almost as soon as it starts the schmaltzy cum sincere song suddenly vanishes. We DEMAND more MOCEDADES! With this in mind, I offer a respectfully resolute, and most appropriate, message to the well meaning but ultimately off the mark filmmakers behind "Sweet Home". It's not us. "It is You".

Not the greatest thriller I have ever watched, but neither is it the worst. It held my attention throughout. Strong, athletic female lead. Nice to see that instead of a woman depicted as a meek, trembling weakling, completely dependent upon a man for protection.The viewer may have to look away during some gruesome, violent scenes. Well made film, worth a look.

I've been using IMDb to choose what movies I watch for a few years by now. I've seen my share of horror films but not once have I ever felt compelled to write a review. Awesome movie! Decent acting with a great plot that's packed full of suspense. I gave it a 10 because in my opinion that's the rating this movie truly deserves. It has been a very long while since I've had an opportunity to watch a really good thriller/scary/horror movie and this one didn't disappoint. Don't allow the little bit of Spanish spoken in the film turn you off because there isn't very much. I loved it. If you're into horror, don't hesitate. This is definitely a must see!

To me, it was refreshing seeing a horror with a small budget acting far better than the latest productions. I got more intrigued with every minute so all in all, it was quite a pleasant surprise.The story is typical, the execution is good, acting OK, and most of the time the decisions taken by the characters are natural, they don't seem to be written by someone. The bad guys did their job, our heroes the same and at the end of it you get your closure. For that I am thankful to Sweet Home.If you give it a try and lower your expectations just a little, I'm sure most of you will appreciate this little movie cause it has quite a baggage to offer. I recommend it!Cheers!
