SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

crackedhalo11 GIRLHOUSE comes from Canadian director John Knaut who was also behind the fun JACK BROOKS, MONSTER SLAYER (which features some amazing practical effects) and THE SHRINE). The result is a slick, stylish and suspenseful thriller that only once in awhile trips over itself when trying to make A STATEMENT. The interesting thing everyone here is generally likeable; none of the women are played out as TOTAL sluts (and there are even some attempts to defend their career choice) and the men aren't typical, sex-starved assholes. The killer (donning a genuinely creepy woman's mask that seems an homage to TOURIST TRAP) is a bit generic but his ruthless nature offers some nasty kills in the process. A solid recommend on this one!

GL84 Living together in a remote house, a woman ing in a supposedly secure online webcam site with the others living inside the house find themselves under attack by a spurned psychopath targeting them for his past traumas and must outwit the tech-savvy killer to get out of the house alive.This was a rather fun and enjoyable slasher effort. One of the better qualities featured here is the fact that this one manages to readily make the early set-up here pretty enjoyable for once. The early scenes featuring the group going around and introducing themselves in a rather friendly manner is nice to see and handled in a great manner so that the later scenes are given that much more meaning. Those stalking scenes in the house are where this one really works well, focusing on the utter inability of everyone around the house to be unaware of the action going on around them as these scenes are rather fun. Starting with the initial murders on the house grounds with the security staff or the first few victims unsure of what's going on that goes into the first real attack scenes as the private session ambush showing him sneaking up and taking out the one victim, sneaking up on the couple in the S&M gear or going after the others trapped in the various rooms of the house which are incredibly fun and rather chilling. The fact that the majority of these kills results in a series of incredibly brutal and vicious attacks gives them an extra intensity that helps this one incredibly well, fueling the action along by going for a far more vicious streak than initially expected and making for some memorable setups here with the way the kills are played out which is a nice factor here featuring plenty of solid kills to go along with the straight-up chilling scenes of him in action beforehand. The finale also comes off rather nicely with the fine trick to finally setup up gives this a nice bit of cleverness to go along with the frantic action that's incredibly fun to go through. This makes for a rather enjoyable slasher scenario here that gives this a lot to like here by taking place within the enormous house that gives this a lot to really like. Coupled with the generous nudity and the rather ingenious way to go into modern technology and the pornographic sites, this one has a rather sizeable amount of positives to make up for a few minor flaws. One of the films' few problems is the central killer here, who has a lot of flaws featured. The fact that this is yet another tormented and picked-upon loner with psychological childhood issues prone to fantasizing about killing the women around him isn't exactly all that interesting as a backstory here as that's incredibly cliché and routine, creating yet another hulking simpering psychopath that isn't too original. That also makes him completely non-threatening beyond his size advantage as this creates a completely banal feel being done so often that it doesn't generate any kind of impact, a big problem in these kinds of slashers. Likewise, the film also manages to feature quite a long buildup to get to the actual slashing which is so crammed into the final half hour that it seems like a lot longer than it really is. These here are all that really hold it back though.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Full Nudity, Graphic Language, strong sex scenes and drug use.

Ben-Tros If you're a woman-hating loser you might get a kick out of this garbage, it's a woman-hating loser fantasy. In fact, it has a lot in common with a woman-hating loser - no redeeming qualities.I got suckered in by the reviews......I despair, don't make the same mistake.

drdeathforpresident The first hour pays homage to lifetime: sappy meaningless dialogue; the whole movie is a tease. You go on a website like "girlhouse" to see tits and ass not fish bait dancing around in their underwear. The sociopath finally wakes up and snaps donning a mask from the .99 store and goes to town slicing and dicing non virgin wool. "Lover boy" (nice name for a deranged psycho)finally gets his head whacked a gazillion times thanks to some good handy camera work and the main character is now in need of some heavy therapy and prozac. The film needed to be trimmed down a few pounds and the focus needed to be more on "lover boy" and hot ta ta's. Skip this mess and stay with the classics.
