House Swap

About This Movie

House Swap is a curious little horror thriller that doesn’t quite hold back on its atmosphere. The premise—a young couple trading their California home for an old English mansion—is intriguing. It dives deep into isolation and creativity, but the pacing sometimes feels off, like it’s trying to build tension but gets a bit lost along the way. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, add a raw edge that fits the eerie vibe. What really stands out are the performances; the leads manage to convey a mix of excitement and dread as they unearth the house’s dark secrets. It’s a film that plays with the idea of safety and trust in a new environment, which gives it a unique flavor, despite its flaws.
