While a bit of ironic detachment isn’t necessarily a hindrance, too many latter-day horror flicks’ attempts to show they’re in on the joke make it difficult to get invested in their stories. Despite initially appearing poised to repeat this too-cool-for-school mistake, “Someone” moves past it by emphasizing not vengeance but redemption. Read full review

There’s Someone Inside Your House is intermittently effective, but ultimately unremarkable, and it feels like a product of its time in disappointing ways. Read full review

From a horror perspective, the film is lacking, but it more than makes up for it with well developed characters and a killer who preys on secrets. Read full review

The film feels like a missed opportunity to interrogate society’s fervent need to make pariahs out of people for their past mistakes. Read full review

A slasher movie could be a compelling framework through which to subvert the (timeless but super Twitter-ified) temptation to reduce people to the worst thing they’ve ever done, but There’s Someone Inside Your House isn’t sharp enough to meaningfully subvert our bloodlust or eviscerate our need for blame.

Director Patrick Brice is so distracted with trying to be of the moment that he forgets to make his film base-level fun or at times even base-level coherent, its thesis crammed into a laughably on-the-nose killer speech where buzzwords are clumsily crashed together, trying to make a point about something but ultimately saying not a lot about anything.

There's Someone Inside Your House tries to make you think it's got a catchy, viable gimmick when in reality it's empty and unsatisfying. Read full review

THERES SOMEONE INSIDE YOUR HOUSE feels like a crazy concoction of a horror film: part 80s slashers, part Scream, part Breakfast Club.

It captures a lot of feelings and vibes, and overall it never really misses a beat with what its going for. The killer and the masks they wear are brilliant, and the ensemble cast feels lived in and like actual people. It's a very competently made horror movie with a smart script and realistic characters, definitely a great watch for the 2021 Spooky Season.… Expand

Not too bad horror, with cute twists and a mundane but engaging storyline. A big flaw, however, is predictability, you know very well who the killer is from the first part because it is obvious, and even if the film tries to address you to other suspects it fails.

Good kills, weak story. How hard can it be to produce a slasher without a convoluted/messy story?

Masked killer is exposing the secrets of his victims before killing them while wearing masks that are 3D printouts of their faces but it boringly turns out it was just one of her group of friends with too much money and time on his hands.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The film is simply not good. I think other users have already made that clear enough, but what I would like to point out is that it is amazing how much Netflix movies get involved in political and activist issues. You will not believe this, but the main 'bad guy' is a white boy who comes from a rich white family who are descendants of Nazis from the Third Reich (so it was not enough that he was white, but he also had to be descended from some of the worst racists in the history). These same people are the icons of corporate greed, apathy and, of course, crime in this film. Also, the ‘side bad girl’ who indirectly influenced the unintentional(!) crime of the Makani Young is of course a white girl who is prima facie privileged. At least there are some “non evil” white people on the ‘good’ side, and this seems to be a mistake rather than an intent of the filmmaker’s side. In conclusion, imposed political correctness that diverges from reality cannot produce good results, much less cover up a film of poor quality.… Expand
