TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
lazarillo A genre from the 1990's that no one misses very much is the "erotic thriller" inspired by the likes of "Fatal Attraction" and "Basic Instinct". A recurring story in these films is a step-daughter/sister-in-law/ex-wife/secretary/temp/ maid/babysitter/ad infinitum seducing or trying to seduce the husband of a married couple and when that doesn't work out, turning into a complete psycho nutcase and murdering several people--and usually a beloved family pet. Well, this is a new one only in that the psycho is the girlfriend of the husband's friend, who is himself staying with the newly married couple as a houseguest. Thus, the movie starts out as already highly implausible.Of course, the girl (Mayra Leal) quickly loses interest in the friend and turns her wanton attentions to the doctor husband. In real-life she could have easily done a lot better than either of these two douchebags, but of course she also happens to be a psycho who has already killed a former boyfriend. So it is left mostly up to the wife to defend her home from this evil seductress.Mayra Leal is mostly known for a small role in "Machete", a role which she performs entirely in the nude, which gives a good indication of where her true talents lie. But she's not TERRIBLE as far as actresses in this genre go (the 90's genre eventually just turned into plot less softcore porn). And Leal does more nude scenes here, making this movie less worthless at least than the bigger-budgeted "Obsessed", which gave us an interracial twist, Beyonce trying to act, and just to add insult to injury, Ali Larter NOT getting naked. This movie at least works as a tame version of a 90's erotic thriller. But does that mean it's worth watching? Uh, not really
kaysild I didn't think this was as bad as everyone else claimed... Seriously everyone said the acting was awful and was hard to get past but I didn't think it was that bad. Maybe because I went in expecting it to be terrible and so my expectations were low, I'm not sure but I will say that the evil biotch did a pretty good job because I hated her and she must've been believable if I hated her character that much. I mean when she had him kill his wife's cat, I WANTED TO KILL THE B*TCH myself! I mean come on that was pretty FB'd up! Leave the animals out of it! So basically im saying the acting must not have been to bad if I was actually passed off at her in real life. I think it's underrated, I mean it's a low budget thriller what do people expect! It's been done similar before but it's still better than rewatching other movies in my opinion so I'd say if you have free time and your bored and the movie is streaming free then go for it. I wouldn't pay for it but definitely worth a watch for free. Ill guve it 8 stars just to bump it up, really prob worth a 6 tho
movieman_kev Newlyweds, Jen and Mitch mistakenly let Danny move in with them into their new house. We know Danny's a bit of a tool who makes awful life choices from the get go as his idea of a housewarming gift is a PS3 (any self respecting gamer would've at least got them a 360) Turns out his choice in women is slightly less atrocious, cue entrance of attractive yet psychotic online dater Claire who turns the whole house on its head.The acting is abysmal and granted it might be some semblance of fun to see all of these mind-numbingly stupid characters be manipulated by dime store psychology in theory, in practice it's a tad infuriating.My Grade: DEye Candy: Mayra Leal shows some T&A but one would do MUCH better merely watching Machete instead
manjodude I believe this movie is a winner. Playing House does not go overboard nor slips to a poor or boring viewing. Within the theme of an innocent couple caught in the fateful hands of a scheming seductress, it delivers very well.Good suspense throughout and you actually feel some shudder watching the stone-cold Mayra Leal(impressive as the femme fatale Blair).Everybody else like Craig Welzbacher(as Dr.Mitch) and Sarah Prikryl(as Dr. Mitch's wife) are good too.Not to mention, some steamy scenes now & then that really turns up the heat in this wild, suspense flick!Verdict - Surprisingly good. And also, blissfully HOT ;)
