What to Know

Critics Consensus

Home Sweet Hell mistakes misogyny for subversive wit, aiming for black comedy but ending up with a grueling test of viewer endurance that wastes game efforts from its likable leads.

If Katherine Heigl thought the unappetizing dark comedy "Home Sweet Hell" might somehow help her flagging film career, she was greatly mistaken. Go to Full Review

2.5/10
In the end, Home Sweet Hell is neither an adequate black comedy nor a good slasher film. It's just hellish. There's nothing sweet about it. Go to Full Review

Insipid black comedy about suburban materialism and murder. Go to Full Review
Maitland McDonagh Film Journal International 03/16/2015
[Home Sweet Hell is] nothing more or less than a toothless satire of suburban conformity that might have felt a little more dangerous six decades ago. Go to Full Review

thiago s @Thiagostone Aug 26 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Tony T @tonyknowsbest Jun 16 Not that bad. However, it seems they made a pretty good character out of the wife who is honestly the star of the show, but they end up wasting her at the end. See more Niko H May 17 Movie was great, could have been longer with more to it but the plot was built in a timely manner & pretty realistic. A lot of hate for this movie by obtuse people with no life experiences. See more Deserae S 10/02/2024 I read the reviews and still watched it just to see if I agree with the critics. I think a lot of them were more attached to their personal feelings on the leading actress and not the movie itself. It was pretty good. This a the film if you like weird dark independent feel comedies. See more Giorgio G 11/15/2023 What starts out as a silly slightly comic family flick, soon becomes a very macabre, dark and bloody affair, but strangely enough, as being so far over the top, it becomes grotesquely and absurdly funny. Katherine makes for the perfect cold psychopath growing from her obsessive-compulsory attitude into full blown bloodthirsty craziness. One needs a taste for black humor to enjoy this flick, but if you do have that, it is quite hilarious. 7/10 points.
