Within its discussions on science versus religion and denial versus action, Home Movie finds a unique and unsettling voice in the landscape of found-footage horrors as a family slowly unravels on camera.
Christopher Denham’s found-footage horror carries an unsettling and frankly disturbing atmosphere from the first scene to the last as we watch a series of home movies shot by Pastor David Poe (Adrian Pasdar) and his psychologist wife, Clare (Cady McClain). Having recently relocated to Upstate New York with their children, Jack (Austin Williams) and Emily (Amber Joy Williams), the family’s daily life appears full of love, fun and creativity. However, as they celebrate Halloween together in their new home, it quickly becomes apparent that the kids’ behaviour is becoming unnerving, and as this worsens, from killing family pets to throwing rocks at their father, David and Clare clash over the best way to deal with the terrifying twosome who have replaced their once happy kids.
Clare is determined to find a psychological answer to the sudden change in Jack and Emily. At the same time, David begins to think the house may be evil, its spirits possessing his munchkins and steering their increasingly violent behaviour. Within these discussions of science versus religion and denial versus action, Home Movie finds a unique and unsettling voice in the landscape of found-footage horrors as a family slowly unravels on camera.
