B- Sound: C Extras: D Film: B-
Jen and
Mitch have finally bought their dream house, stylish, large and spacious, a
gorgeous kitchen, a beautiful garden and even a swimming pool. Even invited their best friend Danny and to
live with them. Everything is great
until Danny finds a new girlfriend, Blair. Blair is sexy, sultry, seductive and
the 'perfect' girl everyone wants, but what she wants is the house itself
...and will do anything to stay there… Playing
House!
Jen and
Mitch are a young, successful happy couple, a young doctor, and a chef with her
own restaurant. Everything in their life
is going well, that is until their house/best friend Danny brings back a new
girlfriend, Blair, who uses her sexuality to start living with Danny and uses
Mitch to make Jen jealous and to fight one another, but when the past comes
looking for Blair, Blair starts filling the body bags, she would do kill for
what 'she' has, including anyone who would try and spoil things for her.
This
movie was reminding me of Stephen King's Misery,
a woman instead of being infatuated with a man, but a house instead. She plays the part of the innocent and sweet
girl, getting men to do what she wants and making other women jealous and then
playing to their weaknesses. She
then proceeds to pit them against each others desires and insecurities, but
when she crosses the line and people start dieing, her true nature begins to
show, that she is pure evil.
