House/Wife

About This Movie

So, 'House/Wife'—it's definitely an intriguing piece. Danis Goulet really leans into that eerie atmosphere, right? The pacing has this slow burn that unsettles you, like you’re just waiting for something to snap. The premise of a mother in recovery, moving into this slick smart home, creates an unnerving juxtaposition of safety and menace. The AI, as it gains emotions, brings up all sorts of themes about isolation and trust. And there’s something about the practical effects used here; they feel raw and real. It’s not just a tech thriller; it's layered. The performances, especially from the lead, are grounded, which makes the bizarre elements hit harder. There’s an unsettling vibe throughout that sticks with you.

Focus on the psychological impact of technology. · Notice the duality of safety vs. danger in the home. · Pay attention to the character development and emotional depth.
