Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

gwnightscream This 1981 horror film stars muscle trainer, Jake Steinfeld (Body By Jake) as escaped mental patient, Jay Jones who goes on a killing spree and stalks a group of people celebrating Thanksgiving. Steinfeld is creepy and humorous as the drugged up, psychotic killer with his maniacal laughing and growling. The film as well as the acting is bad, but slightly amusing which is expected by early 80's slasher/horror flicks. There are some moments which may be unintentionally funny, like the beginning with our psycho driving through an elderly woman crossing the street. I'd probably watch this at least once if you're a fan of slashers.

dullfinboy This was without a doubt the worst slasher movie ever made. The characters were some of the dumbest bunch of idiots in a movie ever. The acting was very bad and there was no suspense what so ever. The killer was very stupid. This had on of the most random movie openings ever. A guy is in his car and is then strangled to death by the killer. The killer injects drugs into himself the proceeds to take the car and run over an old lady. That is an indication that this movie will suck. The effects also suck. The kills were so dumb. The ending was very bad. The movie was extremely boring and not even scary. It was the worst slasher movie ever.

Scarecrow-88 Man o Man, if you want a turkey for Thanksgiving get a load of this joker! Just don't expect a quality, prize turkey because Home Sweet Home is as stale and bland as they come. Psycho bodybuilder Jake, after injecting PCP in his tongue(yikes!), runs over a little old lady who dropped a bag of groceries in the middle of the street, stealing a station wagon from a guy downing a beer. This loony, who escaped from an asylum(yawn), will be rudely interrupting the Thanksgiving dinner of a group gathered together for the holiday, and for the most part they're an insufferable brood you'll care little about once they are dispatched. Just get a load of the kid in white face, always fingering his guitar, annoying those he's around for kicks(..often interrupting couples while they're making out)..oh, and the dweeb performs magic tricks, too, sheesh. I gotta hand it to Jake, the dude is ripped, but, despite his impressive physique, the guy just isn't menacing..sad to say, he's right the opposite, a veritable laughing stock for a lurking madman. Despite an agreeable amount of victims to kill, Jake spends a hell of a lot of time as a voyeur looking at folks from behind the bushes or leaves from a tree. He lets out a continuous cackle when attacking or chasing victims, Jake certainly revels in ending lives. Oh, and Jake makes sure to breath really loud, I guess because his psychopath covers a wide area rather effectively while those he kills have a hard time ever reaching home, getting lost in a territory they should be rather familiar with. Amazing how practically all the cars in the movie either run out of gas or don't start. The violence is mostly off-screen, even though the nature of the attacks is sadistic. A major problem is the amount of time between each kill, and even at 80 minutes it seems to mercilessly drag.Bradley's(Don Edmonds) ranch is the location where most of the action is supposed to take place, but Jake isn't particular in where he assaults his victims. Scott and Jennifer(David Mielke and Colette Trygg)are a kind yuppie couple who arrive at Bradley's ranch to rent an apartment, finding themselves in a fight for their lives as Jake has massacred everyone else who was to partake in the Thanksgiving festivities. They have to assume responsibility for little girl Angel(Vinessa Shaw)once her adult guardians are removed from her life thanks to Jake.

EyeAskance 1981 was a memorably dire year. We had assassination attempts on The President and The Pope. A cement walkway in Kansas City fell, crushing over one hundred people. The first cases of AIDS were reported, California was beset by ravenous fruit-flies, and hundreds of Beirut civilians were wiped-out during Israeli bombings. In select theaters, audiences were subjected to a slasher-film atrocity concerning a musclebound PCP freak who escapes from a nuthouse and proceeds to successively kill off members of a family at their Thanksgiving dinner. That film was HOME SWEET HOME.Groan in pain while you watch famed fitness instructor Jake Steinfeld flex his acting muscles as the cackling killer...somehow he manages to deliriously overplay a character who has virtually no dialog whatsoever. The circumstantial humor in Steinfeld's towering inferno of ham-handed histrionics is, however, the sole glimmer of virtue in this unbearable bagatelle, a bland early entry in the slasher cycle which is surprisingly spare on gore and nudity.Potentially gratifying for ultra-masochistic bad movie fans, I suppose...in this capacity, I might suggest watching it back-to-back with THE FREEWAY MANIAC.3.5/10
