    ★ 9/10

    Not even 20 minutes into the movie and the bizarre behavior and dreams have started, they're quite engaging and give me anticipation of what is possibly to come... The dream sequences are haunting and terrifying in a way that leaves you craving more, I love how disturbing they are... There are so many ins and outs, all in such a way as to lead us down an insane journey down the rabbit hole of science or madness for all of us to enjoy whether we want or not. All the distractions and false leads are brilliant and inspired, as far as this Movie Fan is concerned... Absolutely Brilliant Film...

    ★ 10/10

    The Home (2025) is a rare masterpiece of contemporary horror that masterfully revives the slow-burn psychological dread of 1960s cinema. Much like the DNA of Rosemary's Baby, this film understands that true terror is found in the suffocating realization that something is deeply wrong within a supposedly safe environment. The narrative surrounding the cult is handled with incredible precision, opting for a shrouded mystery that slowly tightens its grip on the viewer. The cinematography is hauntingly beautiful, using shadows and tight framing to mirror a growing sense of isolation and paranoia. It is a sophisticated exploration of psychological unease that respects the audience's intelligence while delivering a relentless, atmospheric experience. This is a 10/10 achievement in the genre, perfectly capturing the same "paranoia-horror" essence that made the classics so effective.
