Review of House of Bodies (2013) by Kevin R — 14 Jun 2014

The kid ate a cigarette.

A series of gruesome murders at a dormitory led to a known criminal being arrested and tried for murder. The killer doesn't seem to want to hide his actions too much. A detective integrates the arrogant criminal and pries the grizzly details out of him on the events that led to nine college students losing their lives.

"You can't control your kid. Somebody is going to fuck her.".

Alex Merkin, director of Across the Hall, Percentage, and episodes of Girls' Guide to Depravity, delivery House of Bodies. The storyline for this picture was just okay and kind of a cliché slasher flick with a pretty clever ending. The characters were okay and the cast delivers better than I anticipated performances. The cast includes Terrence Howard, Queen Latifah, Peter Fonda, George Katt, Alexz Johnson, Juliana Harkavy, Karlee Eldridge, and Tim Ware.

"You know me, I like to come home and work on my relationship with the DVR.".

I grabbed this off Netflix because I was surprised at the better than average cast on such a mediocre sounding film. Unfortunately, this is a below average, straight forward, horror flick with little going for it. This is worth watching once, if you're a fan of the genre, but I wouldn't go too far out of my way to see this picture.

"You didn't kill any of them.".

Grade: C-.
