Memorable, crazy movie
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
The special effects are horrible. I've seen better effects on the original Nintendo. The acting is eh. I wasn't expecting it to be great, so no disappointment there. It felt like the movie was made for superficial enjoyment. Don't try to overthink or peel back any layers. The movie starts out slow. You do not get to know the characters very well. I wish they had given us a background to add depth to the characters. I spent the first part of the movie trying to figure out why I was watching it. A little more than half way through, the surprise (main reason I watched the whole thing) is Lucy. Lucy blended in with the rest of the boring actors at first. Then she changed. I love Lucy. Don't avoid Trashhouse because of bad reviews. Watch it yourself and form your own opinion.
If you like low budget horror films, then you will probably like this film. You can tell the budget is low in parts, but the idea and the story are very inventive. Overall, I really liked this film. The main actress was very good. Some of the acting from other cats members was a bit dodgy, but isn't that part of the fun of watching B movies? It is for me anyway. I thought the idea of dropping in the scenes with the two security guards every now and then was great, and they actually provided some of the funniest bits of the film. With a slightly bigger budget, this film could have been much better, mainly as the idea behind the film could have been portrayed with better visuals, i.e. when the people in the house are in their rooms, a bigger budget would have allowed for possibly expanding this a little. Having said that, I loved the simplicity of the guy whose fantasy it was just to shag birds. You don't need effects for that.
Please read this - it could save you time, money and mental anguish. I've watched some dog poo in my time, but this one takes the worm-ridden biscuit. Taking into account some of the the other comments posted about this film, I can only assume they're associated with the film, mates of people associated with the film or possibly four-thumbed inbreeds. The concept of the movie was an interesting one, but this was not backed up by the script/dialogue, which would have been more suited to an episode of Hollyoaks (if it was acted by "special" people). It's impossible to sit on the fence regarding the acting, as it was so wooden I would have been picking splinters out of my arse for a week. As per the aforementioned "special" people, only they would find the "special" effects to be "special". I only wish that I could have given it a negative score to counteract the blatant exaggeration of the insiders / inbreeds that have given this film a good review. Any comparisons to Bad Taste / Braindead are laughable, the only similarities being the size of the budget and not how they used it. On a separate note, my friend has thankfully now recovered from the unfortunate skin problem.
Trash House.. The new horror flick from Pat Higgins. I saw the DVD not long ago.. I must admit, it's not a bad movie.. Although, it's low budget.. Well, what can you do when you're shooting a film on a low budget scale..? The answer is anything really. So long you got a camera, a few crew members and your actors.. That's it! You're ready to roll!For Pat Higgins, he's done this film like Sam Raimi, Robert Rodriguez and Scott Phillips. All these directors shot their films at a low budget scale. ..And that's how they started their careers as directors.Trash House in a sense is well worth a watch.. It's about five people who take part in some kind of virtual reality experiment. Only to realize there's something more to it, than just virtual reality experience. The characters from the likes of Lucy Sweet (Amber Moelter), David (Tom Wortner), Charlotte (Hannah Speller), James (Richard Collins), and Della (Sam Burke).. They were OK! But I would've thought there would be something more..After all, the idea of the special effects. It was good. At least it comes to show that anything can be done at a shoestring budget. I think the director Pat Higgins has proved his point. Well, he did it, and he succeeded.I can't complain. This movie kept me glued right until the end. I reckon if Pat Higgins kept that up, he could soon be joining the ranks of directors such as Robert Rodriguez, Sam Raimi and Scott Phillips (who did the film THE STINK OF FLESH for $3000..)Anyway, it's not bad.. It's was well worth a watch. Great effort! 8 out of 10!
