I just finished up The Bleeding House and while I don't find it to be a complete failure its far from being a winner.
The story is simple enough a dysfunctional family coming off of an "accident" are trying to re adjust to a normal life. We have the mother and father, the strange daughter and the son who wants to just leave the family behind. The beginning of the film is very interesting as you try and figure out just what exactly is causing the family to act so strange. Then In comes Nick a kind Texan looking fellow with a sincere charm but obvious alter intentions. He stays the night in the house and talks to the family members before the inevitable fact that he is a maniac is revealed. This is where I think the movie truly started to faultier. It was pretty obvious that he had bad intentions but I think if they had left you questioning this a bit longer it could have made for a more interesting premise. I wanted him to more slowly unravel the secrets of the family instead of it just turning into a somewhat generic slasher romp. The film was interesting at the beginning but seemed to lose its focus toward the middle.
When all of the things are revealed about the daughter and the family it just all becomes to unrealistic (the cop scene is a prime example) and other things that I don't think Nick would so easily have over looked in his mission. All in all the movie was okay but could have been something great if the filmmakers had stuck with the premise at the beginning.
