Beach House

It creates an atmosphere but overall there are many loose ends. Good music and cinematography. Did Paul kill Hanna? Emma transitioned quite fast from struggling novelist to ruthless killer, which then freed her creative capacity.

This movie was ridiculously stupid!

Implausibility #1. Her parents know their just departed house guest is mentally unstable, but go for an overnight stay in the city leaving their daughter alone n their isolated beach house. Implausibility #2. She knows the house guest may be a killer, but chooses not to go with her parents and then goes to bed leaving a door unlocked. This phycological thriller left me on the edge of my seat but the plot defects bothered me. Not uncommon in otherwise excellent movies. Doesn't anyone edit the final version? Very often the screenwriters have a good plot and synopsis but the devil is in the details.

engaging psychological thriller from a promising first-time director. great performances (especially from willa fitzgerald and murray bartlett), beautiful cinematography, and an interesting script taking on timeless themes from an unexpected point of view. i found this film particularly impressive given it was an ultra low budget feature which made the most of one setting and a tiny cast. check it out if you're a fan of vintage foreign films, polanski, or hitchcock.

Jason Saltiel's debut film is a tense, nuanced experience. Willa Fitzgerald and Murray Bartlett deliver captivating performances in this slow-burning psychological sexual thriller.

Beach House's compelling performances and cinematography cast a spell on the audience who become invested in a plot that actually requires critical thinking. The narrative grabs you, the suspense keeps you on edge, and you find yourself talking about this film for days. It's an eerily fascinating film that highly entertains without giving in to the current trend of providing easy answers and formulaic plots.
