Home Movie
Home Movie documents one family’s descent into darkness, using a compilation of found home-made footage. In the remote woods of upstate New York, the Poe Family lives a Norman Rockwell life. Perfect house. Perfect marriage. If only the children stopped stapling frogs to trees. Something is very wrong with ten-year old twins, Jack and Emily Poe. And, to stop them, their parents must enter the nightmare of their minds. The only question is…who will survive the night?

REVIEWS
“Even if you’re burned out on found footage horror films, you owe it to yourself to watch Home Movie as an example of the heights the subgenre can aspire to. As Jack says to the camera, after taking up directorial reigns, ‘I dare you to stare until our movie is done.’ That’s one dare worth taking…” – dreadcentral.com
“As a formal device, the film’s “home movie” approach directly immerses the viewer into the narrative’s increasingly tense atmosphere and creates an empathic, but still detached connection to the parental efforts of Clare and David until the film severs this close link by introducing an entirely different perspective during its final moments.” – twitchfilm.com
“This is a true creep-fest of a movie… Seek it out and watch it asap.” – thehorrorclub.blogspot.com
