MOVIE REVIEW - HOME SWEET HOME: REBIRTH

I have a thing for movies with a little horror and action, something to keep me really entertained and occupied. Home Sweet Home: Rebirth is a Thai-English movie, released on the 11th day of April, 2025 and directed by Steffen Hacker. Played by William Moseley, Urassaya Sperbund and Michele Morrone, I’m sure many of us know him.

I tried out this movie because my roommate recommended it to me, she knows the kind of movies I like. So I was like, there’s no harm in trying.

THE PLOT

From the very beginning, the movie looked interesting. Jake, his wife Prang and their daughter Loo were on a normal family holiday to Bangkok. The family went to a shopping mall, and suddenly there was an attack by a man named Mek.

One moment, you are enjoying a normal relaxing holiday, and the next moment you are facing death and things you can’t even explain. Jake dies in the attack and wakes up in a strange place called ‘The Hindrance’. Its like a world between life and death. Jake finds out he’s the only one who can stop the evil that’s about to open the gates of hell.

Jake tries to save his wife and daughter, but there’s really not much a person can do if he’s dead. The gates opened and people started getting possessed. Prang did very well without her husband, you could actually feel the fear and zeal of a mother trying to save her child.

MY THOUGHTS:

At the end of it all, I actually enjoyed the movie, it wasn’t bad but its not perfect. If you like horror and you don’t really mind a little confusion here and there, you will surely enjoy it.

There are times where the acting did not feel real, it was like they were talking with zero emotions as if they were being voiced or something. Like a scene where a character is supposed to be scared but it didn’t really show.

If I were to rate this movie. Maybe a 6/10. But that’s just my thought.
