This film will scar you.

Rating: 10/10 (11 October 2012)

I went to watch this in the cinema knowing nothing other than its name. The opening scene is probably one of the most disturbing I've seen and it doesn't stop there; Ethan Hawke who plays true crime author Ellison Oswalt finds several super 8 films entitled 'Home Movies' and in these home movies, families (excluding one child) are killed in gruesome ways, this makes you grit your teeth anyway but it has a high jump factor as there are numerous scenes which pop up unannounced. Although the jumpy scenes are predictable, they still pack a punch, especially in the cinemas. This film isn't for the faint-hearted, it will scar you mentally and will put you off having children forever. The best horror film in years and a good story behind it!
