All Through the House (2015) Reviews

• Psychological Thriller with Bloody Gore, Suspense, and uncontrollable laugh out loud moments

  sandychukhadarian-562042016-10-08

  "All Through The House" definitely delivers the main setup of a classic slasher film and the actress Ashley (plays Rachel) gives a great performance. The writing and production is executed well with cohesiveness right to the end and the payoff is a strong one. Mixed in with a great psychological thriller, will there be blood? Hell yeah, there's BLOOD. Who doesn't like sexy men and women slashed to pieces, and some of the pieces are penile and breast bits, while having laugh out loud moments where the director (Todd Nunes) has enough masterfulness to mixed them effectively. After all, this is a slasher Christmas movie so it delivers horror with bloody festivities. The previous review was taking themselves too seriously. Get over yourself, you ain't no Roger Ebert. Haters gonna hate. If you want to be genuinely entertained with bloody, sexy, thriller, production value, acting, then this has it all.

• GREAT 80's throw-back and tons of fun

  Horrific_Hector2016-10-07

  If you aren't into 80's slasher movies and all the fixings that made them so great... then this movie isn't for you. It's also not 'Silence of the Lambs'. It is however, a well made, above average, indie slasher made for pure entertainment. This IS a total homage film (and there's nothing wrong with that). This IS a gory film. This IS a T&A film. This movie celebrates what made many of the early slasher films so much fun. while also delivering a story that isn't spelled out for you. There is an actual mystery to this story and great technical work combining to make this movie a whole heck of a lot of fun to watch. The SFX are GREAT. and there are many. The killer is iconic with a brutal backstory. The final girl earns that title. At the end of the day, I love what this film did, I got it, and I want more.

• Here is an adept slasher movie

  vrodgers-269602016-10-12

  "All Through the House," written and directed by Todd Nunes, is a throwback to the 1980s slasher movies and has proved it meets all the objectives of this genre, having netted the Best Slasher award while also being voted the Audience Choice Award at the R.I.P. horror film festival held last year in Los Feliz, Calif. The movie starts out with a simple premise. During a holiday season in Napa, Calif., a crazed person decked out in a Santa Claus outfit and wearing a hideous mask, is moving house to house and using a pair of hedge shears to slaughter victims who, naturally, are primed to enjoy some yuletide sex. As we all know, in films such as these, frisky people are doomed. Returning to her hometown of Napa while on a holiday break from college is Rachel Kimmel (Ashley Mary Nunes, Todd's sister). Although her only family here is her wheelchair-bound grandmother Abby (Cathy Garrett), Rachel has made plans to meet up with friends Gia (Natalie Montera) and Sarah (Danica Riner) and go Christmas shopping. Meanwhile, a neighbor is Mrs Garrett (Melynda Kiring), an ultimate tragic figure. Now living alone, Mrs Garrett has been dealing for 15 years with the mysterious disappearance of her daughter Jamie, reportedly snatched from her bedroom one night. As if this is not enough to merit her great sympathy, she seems a little off her rocker. She has several mannequins inside her home, all dressed up, and uses a couple of them as stand- ins for what used to be her family. Plus, she reenacts a dinner scene with one mannequin posing as her daughter and another as her husband. The scenario she concocts is anything but domestic bliss as she somehow feels compelled to re-experience some dark and rocky moments of her life. Mrs. Garrett had sent Rachel a card, asking the young woman to stop by and help her finish decorating her house for the holidays. Rachel, too nice to blow this off, decides to recruit Gia and Sarah to help her assist Mrs. Garrett. Thus all the pieces are aligned for the inevitable violence that will explode upon Rachel and her pals. Meanwhile, bits and pieces of information are revealed, adding a few twists as Rachel is thrust into the Final Girl mode. The Best Slasher nod given to "All Through the House" is well earned. The blood and gore are ample as well as particular acts of horror that will have viewers squirming. Ashley Mary Nunes delivers in the pivotal role as Rachel, the all- around sweet young woman thrown into dire situations. And Kiring nicely paces her performance.

• Disturbing story with lots of blood.

  prettypistol-303772016-10-13

  It's movies like this why I love independent horror. The lead actress did such a great job. I usually don't like the female lead in lower budget horror films cause i find the acting can be a bit distracting. Ashley Mary Nunes did an amazing job. If she was playing the lead role in Rob Zombies movies i'd actually be able to sit through one of his films. I sure hope we get to see her in more horror films. This movie deserves an audience. I've never taken the time to write a review on any movie. But I know a film like this needs word of mouth. Everyone involved in this movie deserves this movie to be seen. I think with the right amount of coverage they could get a bigger budget for upcoming films and do something special. I would love it if we got a sequel in the future. Or even something like Evil Dead 2. Evil Dead 2 was more of an updated high budget version of Evil Dead. Ashley would have to be in it of coarse.

• Krampus Wrapping Up

  shawnblackman2016-10-11

  Just in time for Halloween comes this slasher throwback about a man wearing a Krampus costume doling out death with a pair of hedge shears. This one follows all the rules of slasherness in a campy manor from the breasts to the surreal characters to the cheesy squirting blood. A no brainer Friday night flick for sure and it keeps you laughing. The killer liked to shear off penises (the cat gets at one of them) and I thought maybe the writer is telling us something but later you see that he literally has a bag of dicks. The end tells me a sequel is coming. There now is a new film the whole family can enjoy on Christmas Eve.
