Set in the 1990s, Krazy House follows religious homemaker Bernie and his sitcom family. When Russian workers in Bernie's house turn out to be wanted criminals, Bernie has to man up and save his imprisoned family, while slowly going crazy.
This film plays like an extended and demented adult swim short film. Only trying to be as cynical and nasty as it could be well also being anti-religious.
At first, it comes across as a satire of living inside a kind of fantasy sitcom world. Before getting darker and darker a bunch of criminals are introduced into this fantasy and start to literally wreck everything..
This causes the father character head of the family to Sometimes flash into a reality that is much slicker, but also much more violent and cruel.
The lead glimpses into the main character's fractured psyche. then can easily figure out what will happen when he finally breaks more often.
Though the film is 90 minutes, it takes so long to get there. It feels like punishment for the audience, as well as the characters finally having the bad guys get their comeuppance.
It still manages his surprise at times it would help if we cared enough about the characters once eight finally starts to move.
This film just feels very low rent, even though the filmmakers have made a cult comedy series of movies with the new kids in gross Norwegian exploit of comedies.
They also made another horror film starring Nick Frost, who stars. The other film GET AWAY Fairs, is much better as it is a bit more conventional and traditional with a twist. Nick Frost co-wrote that film. This film feels more experimental and inspired to try and expand on an idea and material and not quite being successful at it
Grade: D+
