I do not find it helpful when people say "if you didn't like x movie, you just didn't understand it!" In this case, though, I must say that if you're writing reviews about "This Is Our Home" that include the phrases "nothing happens" or "there's no story," you didn't understand it. It's not going to be to everyone's taste, but to say there's no story or no point is demonstrably wrong.

The film is slow to be only 73 minutes, but it's deeply creepy throughout. The first half or so is dedicated to character development, so that we can understand what causes this couple to behave the way they do. The child is incredibly unsettling, and the way the overall situation spirals out of control once he appears is truly upsetting. It's primarily the horror story of a troubled relationship between a spoiled manbaby and a resentful woman: if that doesn't appeal to you, by all means, don't watch this. If you like character-driven, atmospheric horror movies that ask you to engage with the themes and emotions being presented, you can't go wrong here. If you don't, I'm sure there's a Jason movie streaming somewhere.

The film had potential to be something good but failed miserably. The premise was good but no real story or explanation. Is it a ghost story, mentall illness, figment of imagination? It had me engaged at 1st but he ending sucked.

Omri Dorani may have only directed one movie before this, but the assured style within this film makes me excited for whatever is next. This Is Our Home is the kind of stylish horror that with a bigger budget would be on the tip of everyone's tongues.

Filmed over eleven days at producer and lead actress Simone Policano's house in Woodstock, New York - and mere days after producer & lead actor Jeff Ayars had an emergency appendectomy - this movie tells the tale of a struggling couple who, during a weekend getaway, meet a mysterious child who claims to be their son.

Even though this movie is only 73 minutes, it takes its time with each scene, sometimes relying only on sound and utter blackness to get across its terror. Is the child real? How does he know every secret the couple has? Is he just a manifestation of their worst impulses?

Watch this and see. I was astounded by the high quality of this film. Its long takes and pauses may make too arty for some, but count me as one of its fans.
