Well worth seeing and much better than its current rating.
I must say, I wasn't expecting much going into GIRL HOUSE. I was expecting your average, run-of-the-mill slasher film that didn't offer anything more than I've seen a hundred and one times before...but I was okay with that because I'm a dedicated horror fanatic. I grew up in the 80s. I love slasher films! Even the crappier ones. But thankfully, GIRL HOUSE was not crappy. Nor was it your average, run-of-the-mill slasher film. That's not to say it didn't have its faults, which is fine. I've only watched a handful of films that I feel are without fault. The great opening sequence set the movie up nicely. I don't recall there ever being a dull moment throughout the film, so the pacing was very good. Of course there was a lot of nudity and that alone made moments that otherwise may have been dull, not dull. The acting was also much better than I expected. Everyone did a pretty good job. There was more blood than I thought there would be, and that's always a good thing. I don't want to say anything that may spoil something, so I'm gonna end this brief review shortly. I will say though, if you're a fan of slasher films, then you should see this at some point. You won't be disappointed. Even if you're not a fan of slasher films, you should still see it. Maybe you're a fan of nudity? I don't know. You could do much worse than GIRL HOUSE. Give it a shot.
B grade slasher flick with A+++ technical values
May not be the most exciting slasher flick in history but it may possibly have the highest production values. Even the script is solid. Not mesmerizing. But solid. Star Ali Cobrin has one of those odd faces -- she looks familiar to the viewer as if a composite of 4 or 5 well known female stars had been squeezed into one. The biggest problem with the film ironically is how little sex, nudity or even slashing there actually is. In effect, this is a "cheat" in that viewer expectations are raised and there is no payoff. But gosh-darn is this is a well made little film.
Decent throwback to classic slashers with a modern concept.
As a slasher fan, I quite enjoyed this directorial debut. The first time director Trevor Matthews shows promise and delivers a satisfying horror movie that ticks all the boxes one comes to expect from a slasher film. It's fun, bloody, gratuitous and inventive. The setting of a house that broadcasts x rated content online works perfectly for horror, much like the Sorority House Slasher movies from the 80s but with a modern twist. The film is nicely setup and allows you to get to know the characters quite well before they are dispatched! (and they are all quite likable and not annoying!) And it must be said; the dialogue and acting from everyone is quite good. Especially from the main actress Ali Cobrin. Therefore the film never drags.... The kills and makeup were also quite good, with one kill in particular being quite amusing.. The only problem I'd have with the movie is that it was a little tame for my standards, probably cause I'm used to seeing crazy films from the French Extreme Horror movement like Martyrs and Inside! But for me it just wasn't all that scary. Overall opinion: Satisfying horror movie and a promising debut.
Looks risky, turns out safe.
Well made sequence at the start of this - so we've got the makings of a psycho. Roll forward 25 years, and we've got a moral dilemma involving sex and money, where a slimeball entrepreneur draws the "wholesome" heroine into a virtual whorehouse. So it raises the issue of the stupid debt ordinary people have to take on to live any kind of decent life. Was hoping this combination would produce something good, but it's really just two old ideas - straight slasher + celeb/porn reality. After about 30 mins the story starts counting down the numbers. The entrepreneur becomes passive, and the final conflict includes the heroine miraculously overpowering the one-note all-powerful psycho. Basically this was a good pitch hijacked by genre - could have been much more. If they added satire on sex-as-commodity and let the entrepreneur go beast alongside the psycho, it might have been a good horror. There was good humour and irony in the reactions of on-line viewers, but overall the values are perverse (selling sex is free market - no limits, dude!) Also the hero is almost irrelevant to the plot: could have been folded into the computer Einstein guy - bad writing. Without the nudity and gore it's just a Scooby Doo thriller for dull Reaganites. Beautiful looking cast, and very well shot. Music OK. Watch it and forget it.
Ambitious film
I saw this last night because the plot really caught my attention, and I was very pleased with it. This movie tries to do something different, many people may say it is the same as all slasher films, but this ''girlhouse'' thing is something I had never seen before, and it was very entertaining. The killer was creepy af, they definitely payed homage to the Texas chainsaw massacre because when the killer wore the mask it was extremely similar. Nonetheless, it has its flaws of course, it could have been pulled off smarter, this movie doesn't escape from some clichés, like knocking the killer out and instead of just finishing him, they just run away and hide, I mean they filmed a hammer he had attached to his back, she could have grabbed it and just killed him right there; also, some of the acting could have been better, but I really enjoyed this film, the main character was likable and not stupid, actually, there weren't that many stupid moves in this film, would watch it again, totally.
