Sue W @sueewayne 3d This film is very interesting and keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. So many great twists and turns. You must watch! See more kpictures B @RT62440905 Mar 29 House of Abraham is so unpredictable, with twist after twist. I was hooked the whole time. The script is really tight, no filler, and Lisa Belcher’s direction keeps everything tense and unsettling. A group of people, all wanting to commit suicide, go to the House of Abraham (which is this beautiful house out in the woods) for help, to make sure they actually go through with it. But of course, it’s not that simple. Lukas Hassel, who also plays Abraham, the cult-like, creepy leader, keeps the story surprising at every turn. Every time I thought I knew where it was going, it threw me off. One thing I really appreciate is how the film gives us each character’s backstory, but not in the way you’d expect. It skips the typical beats, which made it really fun to watch. Just when I thought I could predict what was about to happen, it surprised me, rare for a script to do that. The cinematography is great, too—really good lighting and some beautiful shots throughout. See more Steffan W. @SteffanJW Jan 3 I did not expect this to be as good as it was. Horrific thriller with a fantastic twist. Major trigger warnings though! See more Caverdius L @VERSATILITY_OF_DEFIANCE Dec 8 This film was held together tautly by expert storytelling, direction, writing and acting. The idea of a "suicide house" is unique and unsettling and the atmosphere intensified from one moment to the next. The titular actor (Lukkas Hassel) had just the right macabre delivery & Jesus-like appearance. This was the first time I've seen Gary Clarke outside of his Western roles as a younger man, but he still looks great & played his small part well. The leading actress was riveting & conveyed just the right balance of strength, compassion, terror, & vulnerability. Every moment of her performance was engrossing and internalized with poetic precision. This movie is a terrifying commentary on our troubled times and touches upon the mixed emotions that can come up in a suicidal mind. This is even more relevant as Canada, Belgium, and the Netherlands all allow legalized suicide via euthanasia. Overall this film, a product of Austin filmmakers, is much better than the standard Hollywood schlock. See more Ingrid E @RT31833936 Nov 27 I found this movie to be well done. I'm not usually a horror fan but this show dealt with some interesting issues that I have not ever seen handled on screen before. The woman who played the sidekick to Abraham was fabulous! The casting overall was spot on. The movie is creepy and designed to be just that. I also appreciated the lighting and the variation between close up and medium shots.

Natasha Henstridge is very good. See more Read all reviews
