The acting wasn't bad at all. Some of the actors were actually quiet good. I'll be looking forward to seeing more from Cory-Anne Roberts in particular, and Natalie Nootenboom.

This is one of those movies where you kind of need to be a fan of the genre to enjoy it, in my opinion. A fun 'home invasion' flick, nothing mould-braking, but worth a watch if you like the genre.

Some jump-scares got me, which is rare nowadays, so props for that. Also, the masks used were creepy, which is good. Simple but effective!

Overall, I'd say the current rating is a good point lower than what I think it should be.

Stumbling upon the 2024 thriller "Model House" by random chance, I opted to sit down and watch it, on account of it being a movie that I had never heard about.

I didn't know what I was in for here, so writer and director Derek Pike had every opportunity to entertain me with this movie.

While "Model House" certainly was a watchable popcorn thriller movie, it just wasn't an outstanding viewing experience. Writer and director Derek Pike was simply keeping the movie afloat by using generic horror tropes and home invasion tropes that has been done and seen countless times in other movies. And on that account, then "Model House" just didn't bring anything new to the genre. Sure, it was a watchable horror movie, though it was a generic and rather forgettable one at that.

The acting performances in the movie were good, and there were a couple of familiar faces on the cast list, with the likes of Cory Anne Roberts, Scout Taylor-Compton, Randy Wayne, Phillip Andre Botello and Ryan Merriman.

Visually then "Model House" was okay. Nothing outstanding here in terms of special effects or gore.

Watchable for what it was, "Model House" is a thriller movie that came and went. I doubt that I will ever return to watch it a second time.

My rating of "Model House" lands on a five out of ten stars.
