Mischa doesn't even come close to the effect Kathy Bates leaves the viewer with. While being a Thriller it's no where like as psychological as Misery, it's seems they have replaced the natural fear in the 'Kathy Bates like character with a little more gore. Interesting story still, just wish they had come up with something a little more original. I found myself feeling more and more sorry for Mischa's character.. her acts seemed more out of desperation then madness. Predictable, yes. Original, no. Worth a watch, sure if you've never better to do.
Er der nogen som kan sige Missry.... light. Ikke værd at bruge tid på .
I really couldn't decipher what's wrong with HOMECOMING. Is it the weirdness voice of Mischa Barton (Lost & Delirious, Sixth Sense)? Is it her acting? Is it the overused plot of the film? Is it the director, Morgan J. Freeman (American Psycho 2)?... (read more) I really couldn't decipher what's wrong with HOMECOMING. Is it the weirdness voice of Mischa Barton (Lost & Delirious, Sixth Sense)? Is it her acting? Is it the overused plot of the film? Is it the director, Morgan J. Freeman (American Psycho 2)? Or the unsympathetic & stupid characters of the movie? I guess all of it. Jessica Stroup (Prom Night) did good as well as Matt Long (Sydney White, Ghost Rider) but Mischa Barton (?), forget it. This is just me...
I was expecting nothing much when I sat down to watch this. I was pleasantly surprised. The first thing came to my mind was the movie Misery, from the 90's. Moral of this movie; "Don't break up with small town girls". lol
an uncommon but unorriginal plot of kidnapping and what not. Movie tries too hard at time and the acting is nothing spectcular. a movie that as i type i feel like i have already forgotten.
this moive reminded me of Misery, but it was boring, annoying, weak acting and a terrible ending
Just OK take on the crazy ex-girlfriend goes after her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend. A few worthwhile moments but nothing special.
