Director: Patrick Brice
Cast: Sydney Park , Asjha Cooper , Sarah Dugdale , BJ Harrison , Diego Josef , Jade Falcon , Théodore Pellerin , Jesse LaTourette , Burkely Duffield , Aason Nadjiwon , William MacDonald
Plot: Makani Young (Sydney Park) has moved from Hawaii to quiet, small-town Nebraska to live with her grandmother and finish her final year of high school. But as the countdown to graduation begins, she and her classmates are stalked by a killer intent on exposing their darkest secrets to the entire town, terrorizing every victim while wearing a life-like mask of their own face. With a mysterious past of her own, Makani and her friends must discover the killer's identity before they become victims themselves.


My Movie Review: The movie is a slasher gone wrong for most reviews I've read but there's something fresh about it on how the killer's execute one by one kill nothing I've seen on before! The opening scene is such a shocker wish the whole film maintain that intensity with mask that's stare back to your face and dark grey jacket with hoodie could be perfect killer ensemble! There's Someone Inside Your House is coming-of-age that doesn't deliver on its promises with low body count, unsatisfying drama with less connection less to root for, and a lack of scares but this film has both style and substance to gorgeous likeable young stars that look promising! As one by one them the students of her new high school begin to die in a series of gruesome murders, Makani doesn't know who's next on the list & her own secrets from the past to keep! Between this and her scorching relationship with the school misfit, this school year may turn out to be one to die for until Darby and Alex help the players find their way out, while Ollie and Makani try to find Zach to their surprise they ultimately confront the killer, piecing together who's on it now wearing Skipper's face, who kills Skipper before revealing himself to be Zach:)(

Critics Consensus: A likable cast and strong set pieces give There's Someone Inside Your House a lift, but they're outweighed by its messily misguided story. There's Someone Inside Your House is intermittently effective, but ultimately unremarkable, and it feels like a product of its time in disappointing ways. In trying to have it both ways, Brice has created a messy, overstuffed parody of moral policing that squanders the promise of its cleverly executed opening. While it is easy to compare this to the admittedly more unique slashers before it, There’s Someone Inside Your House at the very least does everything on its own terms. It is not capitalizing on nostalgia or trapped in the past. It’s slasher formula 101 – introduce the killer’s fodder (most often a group of insufferable teens) and then slice them, carve them, chop them, and impale them one by one. That’s this movie in a nutshell. All its failings could be semi-forgiven if There's Someone Inside Your House did the one thing that was promised on the box be frightening ...well-made, well-acted and should keep couch-bound sleuths guessing until the end... There's never really a moment in There's Someone Inside Your House that suggests its protagonists are real enough to be worth rooting for. There's nothing inside this one. It’s like eating a cookie that’s just a little bit stale. It’s hard to complain but it's still a cookie!
