House of Last Things (2013)
Intriguing, too long and amateurish
I was glued to the screen and wanted to watch it till the end. However, the movie is too long, the lead acting was a tad too cartoonish . Tim and Adam were by far the best characters in terms of acting.
I don't for the life of me, understand the relevance of the creepy old woman and bleeding soldier characters. Especially the older woman. Also, WHO is haunting the house? The son, the tree or the soldier??
Furthermore, the photography was too straightforward. There was a real dearth of photography angles and appropriate lighting. The music was largely irrelevant to understanding the movie. Of course the music is nice because it is Mozart but it does not being any significant clue or mystery to the movie. The movie would have been the same with or without the music.
Bottom line, a lot of scènes are absolutely unnecessary and this movie has no right to be 1h50min long.
