Kylie Bucknell is forced to return to the house she grew up in when the court places her on home detention. Her punishment is made all the more unbearable by the fact she has to live there with her mother Miriam - a well-intentioned blabbermouth who's convinced that the house is haunted. Kylie dismisses Miriam's superstitions as nothing more than a distraction from a life occupied by boiled vegetables & small-town gossip. However, when she too becomes privy to unsettling whispers & strange bumps in the night, she begins to wonder whether she's inherited her overactive imagination, or if the house is in fact possessed by a hostile spirit who's less than happy about the new living arrangement.
Leave your thoughts about Housebound.
| HitfixDrew McWeenyHousebound is that rare film that manages to be funny without defusing any of its scares. |
| Real Queen of HorrorZena DixonThis film has so much to offer with it's amazing combination of horror and comedy. |
| IGN MoviesChris TillyHousebound is a horror-comedy that ticks practically every box required of both genres and throws in a few extra for good measure. |
| Film ThreatElias SavadaHousebound" is terrifyingly funny. If it's playing at a theatre near you (it's already on VOD), it's worth a ticket to share the communal terror and laughter. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeIt is never just any one thing. It is - often simultaneously - scary, exciting, suspenseful and very funny. The characters are unusual and unusually well-defined. |
| New Zealand HeraldRussell BaillieDefinitely worth getting out of the house to see. |
| Matt's Movie ReviewsMatthew PejkovicHousebound takes those well-honed horror conventions and flips them on their head, making us second guess every twisty move director Gerald Johnstone makes. |
| AV ClubMike D'AngeloHousebound, a horror comedy from New Zealand, tries another tack: Its protagonist doesn’t leave because she legally can’t. The movie doesn’t get nearly as much mileage from this concept as it might have, getting bogged down in an increasingly silly plot having nothing to do with house arrest, but the premise does at least justify a hilariously antisocial leading lady. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanIt's always great fun when a movie is this unpredictable. |
| Screen-SpaceSimon FosterExhibiting a bold visual style and a natural flair for funny, character-driven dialogue, the New Zealander has delivered a giggly, gory romp that both honours and enhances his native film industry's love of the macabre. |
