homecoming8 "Sick House" looks promising on paper but the result is not very good: watching people who are stuck in dark tunnels gets kind of boring after an hour. You've seen movies like this before. Gina Philips is best known for her leading role in the smash hit "Jeeper Creepers" and she is always nice to watch. Besides that, she mostly did television. But rumors are that she will return in Creepers III. The rest of the overall unknown cast is also OK, it really is the story that falls short here. The century old plague story just is not that interesting. Not much thrills or gore either. A missed opportunity, could have been so much better..
BasildonReeves I bought this movie because I love some kinds of horror (not teen/slasher/SAW garbage) and this kind of appealed because of the image of that freaky weird Plague Doctor. The style and colors and the way it was shot was amazing, kinda down and dirty and quick, but beware unless you keep your eyes open you'll miss the details. I don't know what some of the others are complaining about because I could see everything great on my TV but I do agree that maybe on cheaper TV's the details may not show.The acting all round was superb and I liked the way I was switching between hating these guys and loving them - it kinda seemed that the actors at time were parodying actors from other bad horror flicks but because of the way the story ran I felt the writers and the director were deliberately doing this, like messing with our minds. I nearly missed some clues to do with mysterious fox but as i thought on it they all came together with the amazing pay-off which I ain't going to spoil for you. Wow, creepy! It really does make sense with the story but emotionally too.Some of the other comments here are just plain dumb. I think these critics have just watched so much s*** that they can't tell good from bad anyhow and just because this movie uses and re-invents all the clichés that loser horror fans dig doesn't mean the film blows. It's smart cos it re-uses and recycles everything and I haven't seen a movie like it. I think movie people who aren't horror fans actually would see this as a really scary fresh movie.SO I SAY GOOD LUCK TO IT and congrats to all those involved. BRILLIANT! 10/10
StudioLAX Despite knowing that the film industry will always sacrifice originality (and therefore risk) to make money it still amazes and annoys me that rubbish like this gets made. Can't a producer realise that making an interesting and vaguely original film will likely make more money through positive word of mouth than a bland, boring, seen it all before piece of cable movie sh!t like Sick House. This film was average, listless, un-engaging, dark and unintelligible, with a pointless and unnecessarily confusing twist ending. I'm desperately trying to think of something positive to say about this film and all I can come up with the cinematography and general look of the film was quite interesting, well that is at the few points in the film where it was possible to actually make out what was happening. Another positive point was Gina Philips who turned in a creditable performance.
EmmanKiddo This movie was good! GINA PHILIPS was phenomenal as always and the others did a great job too. So it means that the acting in this movie was very good, i think it was great. The atmosphere was very good too, i really like that orphanage and the creatures look very well too. The plot was very nice too, it was original and i like it, it reminds me a little of HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL but still original and kinda refreshing. The movie was slow at some parts but still entertaining and with nice creepy moments and with some good scenes of action/horror. But the movie was too dark in some parts that is hard to figure out whats happening in some scenes, but still good. And the ending was sooo damn confusing! Overall it was a good horror movie but with a very confusing ending. Worth watching, worth renting. i gave it a 6/10 it would be a little better if the ending wasn't that confusing or if the film were not that dark. But like i said it is good, at least thats my opinion. But i think GINA PHILIPS was the best thing in the film.
