Claudio Carvalho When Sarah (Diane Dalton) returns home in Oregon from a mental institution, her husband Alan (Randy Schulman), who is a critic of classical music, tells that they will travel to watch operas in Italy since he will write articles about them. Sarah does not want to travel but Alan introduces the hot Kelly (Lindsey Haun) to her telling that she will be the caretaker of the house. When they leave the house, the small-time criminal Jesse (Blake Berris), who is Kelly's boyfriend, unexpectedly arrives at the house. Then Kelly's unintelligent brother Tim (RJ Mitte) arrives to stay with his sister in the house. Kelly had a love affair with Alan and feels comfortable in the house. Meanwhile Jesse steals Alan's convertible to sell to a dealer but he sees the boy Adam (Micah Nelson) alone in the supermarket and decides to bring him home to ransom him despite the protest of Kelly that seeks out his parents. Adam feels good in the house and soon they learn that the house is haunted but they surprisingly stay there. Meanwhile in Italy, secrets are disclosed about the past of Alan, Sarah and Adam and why Sarah had a mental breakdown. "House of Last Things" is a flawed and weird film with a non- chronological screenplay that explains most of the mysteries and is worthwhile watching. The story is intriguing and disclosed like a puzzle but there is lack of explanation for many things, such as who is the bizarre lady that visits Alan and Kelly; or the reference to the Garden of Eden. The cast has great performances and the unknown Lindsey Haun is very sexy. The final transformation of Kelly and Jesse is certainly inspired in David Lynch. In the end, "House of Last Things" is an original film of haunted house. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): Not Available
farharbour A very enjoyable movie with a strange, but believable(in the fantasy sense) story line. The acting is the strong and the character development memorable. It does require careful viewing to follow the story, but it is well worth it and you feel totally engrossed in the film by the end. The character played by Blake Berris is especially memorable: his transformation probably one of the best parts of the movie. Lindsey Haun 's character anchors the story .. she is sort of the "straight man" for the usual events that unfold around her. She also somehow becomes even prettier as the movie progresses. The sets and atmosphere lend a matter of fact tone to what is a strange tale indeed.
acmorwin This film was beautifully shot and for all you true horror/thriller fans its a must see.This film kinda reminds me of Stephen Kings "It" and some of the the music sounds like it is from the movie "Signs". As a fan of thrillers and Horror, I think this one right now is the best thriller I've seen in a long time. And only those who truly appreciate the art of film will see this movie as I do, a cinema art piece.I'm sure that for some its hard to imagine Horror and art to even be in the same sentence but in a rare instance it appears and the "House of Last Things" is just that, a work of art. It is a visually stimulating film And without a bunch of dramatic ridiculous special effects and of course the heart of film ,the story, it is about ....well ,I guess you'll have to watch it and see! So grab the popcorn and enjoy!
djangozelf I got suckered in to it again.Red some where this was a horror but IMDb says it's a thriller.It is more accurate but for me it was a thriller that didn't thrill.The effects where laughable and no way up to date to todays standards.It is like 'the possession of Michael King' a whole lot of silliness,no real content and payed people saying it's something good.I'm getting quite good at spotting these films so in the future I will be writing less of 'm simply because I don't wanna waste my time on them.Besides it is also difficult to write 10 lines on a movie where nothing really happens.It's not worthy to write a lot about it. having said that....
