"Kylie Bucknell is forced to return to the house she grew up in when the court places her on home detention. Her punishment is made all the more unbearable by the fact she has to live there with her mother Miriam - a well-intentioned blabbermouth who's convinced that the house is haunted."-IMDb
This movie impressed me, I didn't think it was going to be as good as it was. When you think of horror and comedy meshing together you think of corniness/bad everything yet Housebound soars high above those clichés. The dialogue was realistic and quite attention grabbing at times. The comedy is there but its not totally in your face. The comedy is natural as its mainly to due with the characters choice that is comical. For one instance a cheese grater was used for something that it was not meant for. There are not any jokes in the film, which helps it out a whole lot. I like the acting and the lighting was well done. I have to tip my hat to the cinematographer and the director they made a lot of good choices with this film.
3.5/5
"Move your fat ass!!" -Kylie
