The SickHouse is BRILLIANT! 10/10
5 April 2008
I bought this movie because I love some kinds of horror (not teen/slasher/SAW garbage) and this kind of appealed because of the image of that freaky weird Plague Doctor. The style and colors and the way it was shot was amazing, kinda down and dirty and quick, but beware unless you keep your eyes open you'll miss the details. I don't know what some of the others are complaining about because I could see everything great on my TV but I do agree that maybe on cheaper TV's the details may not show.

The acting all round was superb and I liked the way I was switching between hating these guys and loving them - it kinda seemed that the actors at time were parodying actors from other bad horror flicks but because of the way the story ran I felt the writers and the director were deliberately doing this, like messing with our minds. I nearly missed some clues to do with mysterious fox but as i thought on it they all came together with the amazing pay-off which I ain't going to spoil for you. Wow, creepy! It really does make sense with the story but emotionally too.

Some of the other comments here are just plain dumb. I think these critics have just watched so much s*** that they can't tell good from bad anyhow and just because this movie uses and re-invents all the clichés that loser horror fans dig doesn't mean the film blows. It's smart cos it re-uses and recycles everything and I haven't seen a movie like it. I think movie people who aren't horror fans actually would see this as a really scary fresh movie.

SO I SAY GOOD LUCK TO IT and congrats to all those involved. BRILLIANT! 10/10
