Review
Home Sweet Hell is a pleasantly unpleasant dark comedy, one that gives new meaning to “detached and subdivided” in the mass production zone. Heigl’s performance as a coolly murderous model housewife is the only real reason to even consider watching Home Sweet Hell, an otherwise flailing and risible tale of adultery, extortion and suburban malaise that suggests a poor woman’s “Gone Girl” — one stripped of all tension, style and subtext, and instead rendered with a level of over-the-top gore that would give even David Fincher pause… best viewed in the comfort of your own home on late night with a couple of beers. Home Sweet Hell doesn’t deserve a hearty recommendation, but watching Heigl and the beautiful Jordana Brewester almost makes the movie worth watching, just to see them play.
PLOT
