Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

gavin6942 On a dark and stormy night, with a serial killer on the loose, Sera (Amanda Brown) invites two strangers in, either of whom could be a serial killer.Amanda Brown makes an unlikely protagonist. She is not particularly likable in this role, but does a fine job of being vulnerable. And maybe that is the important part: knowing that if the man in her house is a serial killer, she probably stands no chance against him.This film strikes me as being like Larry Cohen's "Pick Me Up", but with a mysterious twist. In "Pick Me Up", we have a woman surrounded by two serial killers. Here, we have a woman with two strangers in her house -- but we have no idea if they are both killers, one of them is a killer, or maybe neither of them are. Both are creepy, but what does that mean? The film is slow, and very little happens... but it is somewhat interesting and I am tempted to bump up my rating of it a little bit. But, sadly, it is just not quite worthy.

charlesmovies06 This is a feminist flick, extremely well done. Wonderful thriller..with a terrific setting... in one rainy night. Just three characters...Sera Night (Amanda Brown) leaves her home and returns to find a stranger Andrew (John Lansch) in her house. When he refuses to leave is when the roller-coaster ride begins. Sera's life gets further complicated when a third stranger John (Marc Hustvedt) finds himself in the mix.The movie works on several levels for me. First, the characters. The way their multi-facet personalities are developed is extremely clever. I loved how Lansch goes from being charming and sweet tempered, to cursing and angry the next.The author uses hair-raising flashbacks to reveal very disturbing pasts of some of the other characters. The final flashback gave me the chills The three-person cast puts on a riveting and memorable performance."For Sale By Owner" claims to be a thriller, and lives up to its expectations with a classic surprise ending which is the trademark of almost every good suspense movie ever made.

horrorchick101 While the story does have holes and the pacing could use a lot of work, I think a lot of the acting made up for what the story was missing. This is definitely not a fast-paced thriller, but rather a dark drama with some interesting plot twists. Although at times it felt like it was dragging on a bit, I thought the acting was superb with the writing the actors had to work with. The "John" character really came alive for me. The character may have been written a little stereotypical, but the actor stood out and made me believe in this guy. On top of it, he was handsome to watch. The cinematography was also impressive for a small scale film. My advice, if you are in the mood for an above mediocre drama/thriller with a few surprises, check out this little indie, you may be pleasantly surprised like me.

georgie-31 Don't know why people voted 6 or higher. Very thin story and regular acting. The end of the movie is like many others and a little bit childish:" Oh John, where are you?". I've never heard that before.The story is also like "swiss-cheese" (a lot of holes). You can't really figure out what's it about. Of course you can guess what's it about, but the plot is very poor and doesn't give the answers. Not even a thought for consideration, but a complete gap.And I didn't like the way it was shot. One big close-up. I don't like it, but that's just subjective. Very little music. And the 'freak-out' moments were funny. I didn't even shake my glass of Coke. A little bit different then for instance The Ring (I didn't sleep at all, that night.)My advise, do not rent or buy this one. There are many many many better movies with similar (and better) scenarios.
