Reviews
Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
BA_Harrison If it's a dose of graphic old school gore you're after then Home Sick, with its regular and excessive scenes of non-CGI carnage, definitely delivers the goods: feet are sliced, heads are crushed, fingernails are torn out, teeth are smashed in, bodies are cleaved in two.It's the stuff between the splatter that takes the film down a notch or two.Writer E.L. Katz and director Adam Wingard have taken an offbeat approach with their storytelling, and the cast perform accordingly, putting in some decidedly strange performances; the result is a head-scratchingly bizarre movie at times, equal parts sadistic horror, wacky splat-stick, low-brow comedy, and avant-garde art-house weirdness, an awkward mixture that is certainly memorable, but not always that easy to digest.Bill Moseley hams it up as a creepy stranger with a suitcase full of razor blades; Tiffany Shepis rolls around manically in her dead mother's blood; Tom Towles slaps his thighs as his son and his friends play with an assortment of firearms: occasionally the silliness works, but at other times it's just too eccentric for its own good.Home Sick is worth watching simply for all the lovely red stuff—and Shepis getting her norks out (again)—but it's certainly not for everyone.
jakejoe30 Watched the first 10 minutes, and thought what the hell is this. picked up DVD remote to turn it off,then Mr Suitcaes arrives. Probably the best entrance I've seen on film for years.Remote goes down and I carry on watching. 15 minutes later just about to turn off and another bizarre event, so I decide to keep watching.Best way to describe this film is a car crash, you know its wrong but you have to look.Remined me of a cross between Driller Killer,Texas Chainsaw and final destination, could easily have been mistaken for a movie made in the late 70s.If you have the house to yourself give it a try, just make sure the kids and wife out before you do.
aliciau I thought Home Sick was sensational!! Tiffany was fantastic & sexy as always, as was Bill Moseley. Bill is so creepy as Mr Suitcase, you'll have nightmares for weeks. Lots of blood, gore, and more blood. The special effects are awesome!! Jonathan Thornton has come up with his best effects yet. Scared the crap out of me more times than I can count. Will Akers shows his stuff here with an unforgettable character that left me wanting to see more of him. The scene in the diner will leave you howling! Tom Towles kicks a**!! I'll never be able to eat another bowl of chili without seeing him! The music is also sensational. Homesick is definitely worth the wait!! Can't wait to see what else the writer and director will come up with.
courtneycritic I just reviewed a rough copy of this film "I did say rough copy". I think this is a true slasher film "100%". I do think however that slasher fans will be the only ones who understand and appreciate this film. Slasher fans will be very excited once this hits video shelves. For the budget that was given I think the production level looks great. It seems the writer and director meant for this to be an all out slasher feast. There are some very comical characters that are so nuts that they are truly frightening. People who watch this film need to be aware that the gore is VERY HEAVY. I have not seen this much gore in a independent film in a long time. Some of the gore scenes will make your bones tingle. Characters "My Favorite Characters" that will catch your attention: Mr. Suitcase-- "Bill great motivational speaker" Devin-- "Truly Funny redneck character that is in a weird way Scary" Uncle Johnny-- "Great redneck outlaw TOM!"Slasher fans get ready for HOME SICK because it is a non stop roller-coaster of gore and wild characters.Have fun!
