Home for Rent

Home for Rent is a movie that comes out as fresh from the Asian cinema, one that is saturated with ghost stories. Don't get me wrong, this isn't far off either, but it does manage to provide a good plot, non linear execution and plenty of tension and mystery to it.

It was a nice surprise, I do declare myself a fan of this genre, the Asian market has its strong points, but lately nothing scary or convincing came out. This one isn't scary either but I do think it's intelligent, respects its viewer and is made with passion instead of a cash grab project.

Definitely recommended, it takes its time to build a proper story, to include the viewer, to make him question what's happening on the screen and also offers a good ending. So head to toes, a lovely experience here.

Cheers!

Almost gave up good movies on Netflix, but then this pearl showed up , this is a very good horror movie , its walk the walk and talk the talk , a horror all inclusive , close to perfect

The story is very good, its scary actually, make you crawl up in the corner with the shamepillow infront of your face, not many movies can do that , this is asian quality on its edge, what I like most in this movie is the nonstop happenings, its start to be creepy pretty fast and then it just keep going with no breaks , you sit like a burning candle from first minute to the last

Acting is ok , effects aswell , but little bit the week points in this movie and it is little bit to long ,,, but this is anyway a very good horror movie.

Although the movie tries too hard on the Scare-O-Meter by overly playing spooky music at every scene and typical jump scares, the story, suspense and build-up itself is good and made up for that unnecesity.

Synopsis: Ning, Kwin, and their daughter, Ing, shifted to the condo. Ning started to notice a shift in her husband's behavior. He was a little too attached to a red book that he carried along with him wherever he went. When Ning asked him about it, he stated that it was the factory manual. He had also recently had a symbol tattooed on his chest; he blamed it on a game of dare that he indulged in with his colleagues. Ning very well knew that Kwing was lying, but she couldn't understand the reason behind it. When she went back to the house to collect some items, she was a little surprised by Dr. Nuch's behavior. Dr. Nuch was clearly annoyed by Ning's sudden visit and wanted her to leave the house immediately.

This story was chock-FULL, let me tell you lol. If an average movie is like a paperback book, this one felt like a novel.

I think it edged on convoluted but never quite teetered over that line... it was just full of detail and extensive storytelling. At its pretty long run time of about 2 hours it somehow never really felt like it was dragging... yet still felt like the 2 hr length that it was.

Nothing about this story felt crazy original, yet they still managed to do it in a certain way that felt fresh and intriguing. The visuals were quite nice here and the acting was a high point for sure. The mom in particular did quite a nice job and I was very impressed with the little girls abilities.

This was a fun ride that was spooky, heartfelt and pretty captivating story wise. 6.5 rounding up to a 7, would recommend.

This movie is worth watching. I am a big horror fan and I loved this movie. Didn't expect anything and walked away so glad I found it online. Such superb editing and story board! Bravo! Hands down one of the most well thought out and perfectly edited horror films I have ever seen and I've seen everything. I will be looking at any and all movies that this director makes. Love horror and this is literally one of the best ones I've seen in years. If you're having second thoughts I promise just jump in head first. You won't be sorry. Loved the ending too: bittersweet. Can't believe how good this was.
