GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Leofwine_draca TRASHHOUSE is an incredibly cheap looking and boring indie horror flick from Britain, it pains me to say. It's another film with a Big Brother-style plot in which a group of contestants are locked in a house and then constantly filmed, before being assailed by various supernatural entities. This kind of set-up was done much better in the likes of My Little Eye et al and it doesn't help that the execution is extremely amateurish here, laughably so in fact.

rikkiebags By their very nature, you have to extend a lot of goodwill toward a low-budget film. Sets will creak, the acting may not always be of top quality and the special effects may well be questionable at best. If you watch a low-budget film with expectations of losing yourself in roller-coaster ride ala Kind Kong, you're probably going to be disappointed, but approached with the correct attitude there can be an awful lot to enjoy and admire, and even find inspirational.TrashHouse is a lower than low budget film written, produced and directed by Pat Higgins, and this is his full length feature debut recently released on DVD by Screen Entertainment.Simply put, five strangers, gathered together through the wonders of computer profiling are invited to a location to participate in the testing of a new implant that allows the user to live out and create their dreams within their environment. Each guinea pig takes to their role differently; one lives out his greatest sexual fantasies, another conjures a technological environment and sets about curing cancer, one can't think of anything more interesting to do than sit in a chair and have money flutter about around him, and so on. As events continue, one of the lab-rats is not who they initially appeared, and has murderous intentions...There's no denying that there's zero budget going on here, and TrashHouse sometimes collapses under the weight of its own ambition, but ultimately this is to its credit and adds to the charm. Sure the CGI is laughably amateurish at times, the locations are sparser than sparse, the acting is at times questionable, but what carries the film is an originality that doesn't play out simply and predictably from A to B. Pat's script has flourishes in it that makes the 80-odd minutes breeze by with nary a finger hovering over fast forward button, as so often happens in micro-budget films that need to extend their running length to something respectable by adding terminally unnecessary scenes.There's a sense of humour running through the film that frequently raises a smile, whether it be the two riffing security guys (sat in front of nothing more hi-tech than a single PC monitor), or Lucy's recreation of a 50s sitcom environment. In black and white. With a laughter track.Approach TrashHouse in the right mood with the right level of expectation and there's a lot to enjoy here. Moreover, there's evident talent at work as well - Pat's direction is assured and you can't help but feel that if he had more money to play with and less need to concentrate on running the entire production then he'd be able to conjure up something special.I, for one, look forward to the next productions from Jinx Media.

James Mcconnell From the very beginning, TrashHouse makes it obvious what kind of a film you're about to watch. Snappy, funny dialogue and violence, all before the opening credits.The plot is quite original, revolving around five people, apparently the most balanced people in the UK, invited to a house to take part in an experiment. They will have a chip fitted that gives them the power to create anything they can imagine, between the hours of 7.30 am and 10.00 pm. The catch? Someone isn't who they claim to be, and things are about to take a turn for the dangerous.A fantastic debut from Pat Higgins. The dialogue is well written, and the ideas presented in the script are fantastic. There's plenty of the red stuff for gore hounds, a few naked ladies, and some great music. The only letdown is that some of the CGI effects are rather poor, but that's obviously down to the low budget nature of the movie. The performances are all very good.I really hope someone gives Pat Higgins a decent budget for his next film.8/10

smiley-32 Trash House.. The new horror flick from Pat Higgins. I saw the DVD not long ago.. I must admit, it's not a bad movie.. Although, it's low budget.. Well, what can you do when you're shooting a film on a low budget scale..? The answer is anything really. So long you got a camera, a few crew members and your actors.. That's it! You're ready to roll!For Pat Higgins, he's done this film like Sam Raimi, Robert Rodriguez and Scott Phillips. All these directors shot their films at a low budget scale. ..And that's how they started their careers as directors.Trash House in a sense is well worth a watch.. It's about five people who take part in some kind of virtual reality experiment. Only to realize there's something more to it, than just virtual reality experience. The characters from the likes of Lucy Sweet (Amber Moelter), David (Tom Wortner), Charlotte (Hannah Speller), James (Richard Collins), and Della (Sam Burke).. They were OK! But I would've thought there would be something more..After all, the idea of the special effects. It was good. At least it comes to show that anything can be done at a shoestring budget. I think the director Pat Higgins has proved his point. Well, he did it, and he succeeded.I can't complain. This movie kept me glued right until the end. I reckon if Pat Higgins kept that up, he could soon be joining the ranks of directors such as Robert Rodriguez, Sam Raimi and Scott Phillips (who did the film THE STINK OF FLESH for $3000..)Anyway, it's not bad.. It's was well worth a watch. Great effort! 8 out of 10!
