The Break-In

About This Movie

The Break-In is an interesting piece in the horror genre, blending domestic bliss with creeping dread. You've got Jeff and Melissa, a couple with a seemingly idyllic life, but the tension really ramps up as the string of robberies unfolds. The film's atmosphere is thick with unease, and it captures that slow-building suspense that keeps you guessing. The practical effects aren't over-the-top, which I appreciate, allowing the performances to shine through the fear. It explores themes of vulnerability and trust, which makes sense given their situation. The pacing can be a bit uneven at times, but it contributes to that feeling of disorientation as the couple's perfect world starts to unravel.
