House of Carnage 2006 Horror Movie Review

I think it’s a little more than coincidence that all of the 4 and 5 star reviews here are either from Pennsylvania or don’t show where they’re from at all, considering this movie was filmed in Pennsylvania.  I’m a big supporter of independent, low-budget, and underground films.  I actually prefer them over any of the big-budget Hollywood films, but this was just unbelievably bad, bad, bad, sad to say.  The acting was atrocious.  The special effects were beyond laughable.  The “actors” just seemed to run around the sets, oblivious to any direction.  The film makers obviously did not put their hearts into this film.  No one even seemed to be TRYING to make a good film.  Even in bad films, you can tell if the film makers put everything they’ve got into it.  In this film, it was just the opposite.  There seemed to be no direction at all, and absolutely no passion.  Besides being a blatant rip-off of “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” movies, there was absolutely no attempt at originality.  The only good thing I can say about this film is that the sets and locations were great, (Hence, the 1 star).  It’s just sad that they weren’t utilized in a creative way.  This film was just an excuse to rip off women’s shirts, expose their breasts, and rub VERY fake looking blood on them in the hopes of titillating viewers .  If that turns you on, then go for it, but don’t expect anything more here, because there is nothing more.  Pathetic, to say the least.
