Home for Rent [Movie Review]


Home for Rent [Movie Review] | I went to watch this movie with no expectation whatsoever.  

The title reminds me of the horror stories about renting/ buying houses just to realise that there are people living inside it without you knowing/ the dark history of the house itself.

So, which one will this one be?

Ning comes to inspects her condo unit in Bangkok that she had sublets before. She is dismay at the terrible condition that the unit is in - the wallpaper is torn, the TV is smashed, the sofa is torn and many more. Her agent advises her just to sublet her husband's townhouse and she moves in into the condo, after minor renovation and facelift as she is looking for income for the family. The only problem is, Kwin, her husband doesn't want to move into the condo as he has precious memories in the townhouse. 

Ning persuades Kwin to rent out the townhouse but to no avail. That is until one potential tenant, Dr Nuch, wants to rent the house with her mother, Kwin agrees to rent the townhouse to them. Ning is happy as that means greater household income for the family.

Ning, Kwin and Ing, their 7-year old daughter moves into the condo. Everything was going great. Even though the condo is much smaller and Kwin has to sleep in the living room, everyone is happy.

One day, Ning has to return to the townhouse as she needs to find some documents from the store. Her old neighbour messages her to meet her before she returns to her condo. The neighbour shares some disturbing news about the new tenants - they never goes out of the house despite that Dr Nuch works in the nearby hospital and she hears voices - some sort of chanting - every morning at 4 am. 

Thinking nothing about it, Ning returns home. Later, she awakens in the middle of the night when she hears Kwin's alarm goes off. It was 4 am. She goes into the living room to check on Kwin and hears Kwin goes out of the unit. And this keeps on going for the next few mornings. 

When asked, Kwin gives different reasons that he has to wake up at 4 am every morning. And now he has a tattoo on his chest that was not there before. 

After receiving a disturbing video taken by her neighbour, Ning realises that her husband might be colluding with the new tenants, but she is clueless as to collude in  doing what?

She starts doing her investigation. And she starts wishing that she never lets the tenants move in.

Can love overrule all other norms and rules in the world?

MY REVIEW

Plot: 4.8/ 5.0 I love that the movie unveils one twist after another without taking the long and winding route. The details of each twist was not lost and at the end, you'll realise that it was all because of love.

But can love triumph over other norms?

Cast: 4.8/ 5.0 Not familiar with them but they were great in their performances. 

Will I Watch It Again: Yes, with my screamer friends of course.
