One time watch..Definitely one of the films,that you forget as soon as you finish watching...But,if there is nothing to do,it will do to kill some time)

To me, it was refreshing seeing a horror with a small budget acting far better than the latest productions. I got more intrigued with every minute so all in all, it was quite a pleasant surprise.

The story is typical, the execution is good, acting OK, and most of the time the decisions taken by the characters are natural, they don't seem to be written by someone. The bad guys did their job, our heroes the same and at the end of it you get your closure. For that I am thankful to Sweet Home.

If you give it a try and lower your expectations just a little, I'm sure most of you will appreciate this little movie cause it has quite a baggage to offer. I recommend it!

Cheers!

I'm always on the look-out for a good horror flick and Sweet Home was a delightful treat.

I admit, at the scene in the beginning of the movie where the girl was speaking Spanish with the older gentleman,I stopped watching. I understand Spanish a little, but it seemed like the movie flipped to a foreign language altogether. At that point, I gave up. The next day I decided to continue the movie, simply because the movie is short in length(only 80 minutes). To my surprise, the Spanish dialogue was only a few minutes long and really didn't affect my viewing pleasure nor hinder my ability to follow the story.

I'm glad I decided to give it another try because it was honestly a pretty decent movie. Of course a few cliché moments in the film, but I've certainly seen worse. This film had me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was going to happen next.

The movie moves along pretty quickly and has action throughout. I found myself thinking what would I do in this situation?

Although a fair amount of the reviews are negative, In my opinion, if you like horror/slasher films, check this one out! Honest rating 7/10.

Sexy star Ingrid García Jonsson is that authentically rare Swedish/Spanish badass. Hell, let's be real. She's probably the ONLY one. Director/Co-Writer Rafa Martinez succeeds in slathering on the suspense.

These takeaways notwithstanding, where was the grand dénouement? Rarely has there been a more roundly disappointing conclusion to an otherwise mostly competent horror/thriller than we witness at the back end of "Sweet Home".

And adding to the disappointment, the 1970s pop radio hit "Eres Tu" is introduced at precisely the right moment during a critical climactic scene. But almost as soon as it starts the schmaltzy cum sincere song suddenly vanishes. We DEMAND more MOCEDADES!

With this in mind, I offer a respectfully resolute, and most appropriate, message to the well meaning but ultimately off the mark filmmakers behind "Sweet Home". It's not us.

"It is You".

To me Sweet Home deserves a bit more then it's actual ratings. Okay it's not the greatest movie ever but it's worth watching once. There are a couple good horror parts, the filming and sound also contributes to make it an okay horror movie. Maybe the story might not be the most original and sometimes you wonder why they don't make other more logic decisions to get out of the building they're trapped in but with most cat and mouse horror movies you rarely have any logic. The mixture of Spanish and English was fine for me. I don't mind reading subtitles so it wasn't an issue for me. Ingrid García Jonsson and Bruno Sevilla are the two major actors in Sweet Home and they did a good job. Are there better movies in this genre? For sure, but it was still worth a watch.

After seen Don't Breathe (2016) my best friend told me to pick up this flick. So I did and I'm happy I did because it's a hell of a ride. It's not all that good, it's not that you think, aaa it's all over now and things start over again.

Here you could see it coming so no suspense on that part but it's the effects used and the brutality that makes it worth watching. It do involves a bit of romance and in some parts the romance takes over but there's a thing, just before you think, omg, not the romance again you're in for a smasher.

For a first attempt as a full feature Rafa Martinez did well. The story itself is a bit over the top. Nothing is explained and so this can go from a romance into a home invasion towards a slasher. For me all things were done with a wink towards black comedy. Just see the beginning, the old lady going to the shower, guess everybody said, noooooo nudity here please. Well done. But what it adds toward the story I don't know and as mentioned before the romance and the head (you will see) is black comedy too.

Don't get me wrong, no humor at all, pure horror.

What a waste of time. The main characters make one moronic decision after the next. Whoever gave this movie anything above 5 stars must have worked on the movie. Please don't waste your time with this garbage.

Actually the only problem i had with this movie was the different language that is used. The production used Spanish and English. I'd rather its in Spanish and i read off the subtitles. Casting of the actress was not the best of choice as her accent was too thick when she speaks English . Other than screaming, which she is best, her acting for other scenes did not have the depth nor expressed too well. Violence and all .. is worth a watch though. Plenty of scary moments. It really did remind me of REC, where everything happens in a building. Quite a good choice if you are picking a movie for your halloween get together with friends. Lastly, the ratings could've scored better(current 4.7)

That's regarding a character decision very early on in the movie, which is actually one thing that you will immediately pick up when the movie starts. You could say it lays out the work of what is going to happen later on. And while that is not really in favor of the movie and the movie itself takes awhile to actually jump-start, when it does (late), it actually is more than decent.

Let's say the bad guy in this, really deserves that tag. And you could do more with this idea/character. The ending is pretty strong, though whatever direction they'd go, someone would be annoyed by it either way. I thought it was the right way to go ... no pun intended

A Spanish horror / slasher / thriller about the phenomenon of forcibly removing elderly people out of their homes by criminal real estate agents, who'll use that space to build luxurious apartments. That's what you'll read at the beginning of the film. Strange but true, the used language during the entire film is English (apart from a few harsh Spanish swear words). For once, I wished it was Spanish. Not only because I find Spanish a delicious sounding language but also because it would benefit the authenticity of this film. What really terrifies me is the fact that these evictions really happen there. Apparently there were more than 46,000 evictions in 2012. That's more than 500 a day. Terrible! I don't know if they use the same technique as in "Sweet Home". I hope not, of course.

Ultimately it's just a stupid movie. Full of stupid decisions, stupid coincidences and probably the dumbest Spanish girl you can find in that sunny country. She's one of those girls who drops her cell phone or flashlight at the most crucial moments of course (I'm forcing myself not to start about her being blond). I'm aware that these kind of incidents always occur in this type of movie. But every time I'm annoyed by it and I start to say things like "Oh come on" and "Not again, stupid cow". And also, this is the strangest building ever. It fitted the mood and was ideal as a background and setting for this movie. But still I thought there was something weird about it. It's an old, dilapidated building and most residents already left (voluntarily or horizontally with their feet first). But those rotten doors seem to be soundproof. Apparently no one on the first floor could hear the rattling with the front door and the loud shouting through the mailbox. And when help arrived (in the form of El Liquidador. Nice chilling name) who took care of the victims by using some kind of chemical substance in order to reduce them to dust material and vacuum it away, they were having a friendly conversation on the other side of the hall door. Strange architecture over there in Spain.

The most annoying thing in this film, is the story on its own. I expected more. I was just looking at the screen sheepishly and patiently I waited to see how it would end. That's it. It's far from being exciting. Besides two bloody scenes, there's not much blood to see on the screen. Only when El Liquidado arrives, it gets a bit more exciting. For a short while that is. He's some kind of ultimate solution to straighten out a situation that got out of hand. But haven't we seen this before? Such a rugged, muscular guy who routinely does the dirty work. Usually such a person is moving forward in such a nerve-racking slow pace, while dragging along a huge ax. That's nothing new under the sun. Before you know it, you get a cat and mouse game. And most of the time you can easily guess the outcome. Except in this film. But what was this "Saw" -like end? It was as if I suddenly watched a complete different movie.

Isn't there anything positive to report? Yes of course there is. The location where the whole story takes place looks absolutely stunning (as said before). A gorgeous old building ideal to play hide and seek. A unique and scary place perfect to film a struggle to the death. The camera angles used by the director were sometimes impressive. For instance the excerpts while the rain is pouring down. Or those images of the staircase. Simply gorgeous. But otherwise it was just as bland as a paella without any spices. Everyone dreams of buying a Spanish hacienda at an older age and enjoy the Spanish sun. After seeing this film, I wisely decided to accept the bad, cold weather of Belgium.

Thrilling movie with sudden bursts of violence , set in Madrid where a young real state broker : Ingrid Garcia Jonsson plans a secret meeting with her boyfriend : Bruno Sevilla, and both of whom are about to face the worst night of their lives when some burglars trespass into the home . But things don't go as they planned . As things go awry when the group of violent killers appearing at the building are surprised by the distressed couple , and they then are attempting to murder them. Tension and fear take over them all , while the pursuers go after the deranged pursued couple in a relentless chase . Later on, there shows up a liquidator causing wreak havoc and destruction.

Thrilling and scary film about an extremely violent invasion home, what follows is a merciless deadly game of a cat-and-mouse resulting in unexpected consequences. Lots of action, violence, blood and gory scenes , but it's all fairly routine , though being well made . The movie packs a claustrophobic atmosphere , hair-rising frames and surprising scenes . The violent story belongs to " Home Invasion" sub-genre , being shot in the wake of "Michael Hanake's Funny Games" , "Miguel Angel Vivas' Secuestrados" , "Walter Hill's Trespass" , "Joel Schumacher's Trespass" , and "Enric Alberich's Transgression" , in all of them some nasty invaders enter violently at a house causing mayhem and chaos against unfortunate victims . This Sweet Homme 2015 is mostly played by two main stars : Ingrid Garcia Jonsson and Bruno Sevilla giving decent interpretations. Accompanied by an unknown support cast playing the sadistic invaders.

The motion picture was professionally made by Rafa Martinez, though with no much originality, displaying the usual issue about the Axe Killer carrying out a criminal spree. Being this one his first movie, though previously directed Shorts as "Halloween Before Christmas" and "Zombies and cicarettes". Rating : 6.5/10. The film will appeal to thriller/terror enthusiasts. Well worth watching .

Completely unrealistic reactions from the pathetic imbecile that plays the male lead. Bad acting all around. It could have been a good story, even with a low budget, but they absolutely ruined it. The violence and suspense does not make up for it when you have to roll your eyes repeatedly as you ask for a break from the stupidity.

Also, someone should have told the composer to chill out. The score is over-excited and intrusive. Too bad they couldn't have put half his effort into the script.

Not the greatest thriller I have ever watched, but neither is it the worst. It held my attention throughout.

Strong, athletic female lead. Nice to see that instead of a woman depicted as a meek, trembling weakling, completely dependent upon a man for protection.

The viewer may have to look away during some gruesome, violent scenes. Well made film, worth a look.

That's the first thing that I thought about after thirty minutes of this domestic chiller, not so much in the Spnish style, but very fashion in today standards, if yu compare with the other features made since two decades now. New couple arriving in a new apartment, you could open a DVD library only with this topic. This is not a bad home invasion movie though, not at all, but don't expect forgetting PANIC ROOM after watching this one.

I've been using IMDb to choose what movies I watch for a few years by now. I've seen my share of horror films but not once have I ever felt compelled to write a review. Awesome movie! Decent acting with a great plot that's packed full of suspense. I gave it a 10 because in my opinion that's the rating this movie truly deserves. It has been a very long while since I've had an opportunity to watch a really good thriller/scary/horror movie and this one didn't disappoint. Don't allow the little bit of Spanish spoken in the film turn you off because there isn't very much. I loved it. If you're into horror, don't hesitate. This is definitely a must see!

This was just ok for me. It's been done before with only the characters and the locations being changed. It was filmed pretty good and there was a real attempt to keep suspense consistent. The actors were decent and while the storyline could have used a little work, it wasn't off putting. All in all it was a decent watch.

The plot was surprisingly imaginative with a nice helping of gore. The acting was above average, and the protagonist was very talented. The cinematography was excellent! This film was taut, and the end was satisfying! Give it a look. You won't be disapointed!

I think most of viewers skip this series because of it's name "sweet home" even i also skiped but finaly my friends saw this series and they reccomend me and my reaction was like omgggggggggggggggg......infinty....................... . Dont lose hope this a master piece series.
