Just perfect...

Good start, but then it gets ruined

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

I don't even know where to start with At Granny's House. First, the good. There were some interesting shots of the sky and clouds that were quite beautiful. Bill Oberst Jr.'s character was all too brief because he was wonderful and interesting. Glenda Morgan Brown played her role well and was one of the more enjoyable characters. Rachel Alig had some great facial expressions that showed her emotions much better than the dialogue did. These things combined bumped it up a star to save it from being a one-star watch.The rest of the movie was ridiculous. The dialogue was stilted and unnatural. I would have to watch Ms. Alig in another movie to tell whether or not this is a good sample of her acting talent. The dialogue and scene direction in At Granny's House was so awkward and blah that I honestly can't tell. I think Glenda Morgan Brown did the best she could with what she was given and her scenes (when her character wasn't written strictly as a prop for Ms. Alig) were often very enjoyable.The pacing is fairly consistent throughout. It moves at a fairly brisk pace...until about the middle when it turns into a bit of gag-inducing soft-core porn. I say gag-inducing because there's zero chemistry between the two leads and it looks uncomfortably like those scenes were added just to show (and grab) some boob. Since I'm never really thrilled with sex in horror (movies and books) when it's unnecessary this may be something that won't bother other people. If you're watching for the boobies, rest assured, you will see them.The sound design and soundtrack was just bad. For some reason they felt the need to enhance every single sound. Because by god we need to hear every time the couch squeaks, every foot step, every keyboard click. The soundtrack wasn't much better. The music wasn't outright terrible but it was unoriginal and overused. From the moment the character of Rebecca walks in she might as well have "I'm creepy!!" tattooed on her forehead because the music is not subtle about it. Even the blandest line is accentuated with music to make it sound fraught with meaning.I honestly don't know what to say about the plot. Everything is so glaringly obvious that I'm not sure what I'd be spoiling. The only two real mysteries that are presented are never explained. I'm not sure if they were even supposed to be mysteries or if the plot just overlooked them. The first is why Rebecca is killing people to begin with. She apparently hates people who are rude and ignore others while on their phone. However, in the movie it seems to act as an intense trigger for her. Even though they get a plethora of people she only kills those who are rude, especially in the phone usage area. So it seems like there would be a reason or something at least. Nope. Never explained. What is also never explained is why 'Granny', out of the blue, decides to help cover their crime. And, oddly enough, from the first. Even before she knows there has been an actual crime committed she's covering. I was hoping for a skeleton (literally or figuratively) in Granny's closet. But no, nothing. I did get the feeling there may have been a plot point in there somewhere that they decided not to use. It's a shame, really. Granny was one of the better characters and if she had an interesting story I may have forgiven a bit more.Between the wooden dialogue and nonsensical plot I cannot recommend this movie.Disclaimer: We received a review screener of At Granny's House from the publicist for review consideration. This is no way affects our review.

Saw this movie at its amazing Hollywood Premiere. Love how creepy it is. More movies should have great Leading Ladies!! Wild how it twists and turns and all is a cool house. Surprising how long the sex scenes are. Glenda Morgan Brown who plays Granny delivers a wonderful performance, with lots of depth. Rachel Alig, the other leading lady who plays Rebbecca gave me the chills. It is great how she commands the screen. Ted is a clueless prick portrayed very well by Les Mahoney. Bill Oberest Jr. has such a strong presence, he rocks his scenes. Very different character played here by Bill, the horror star of this century.

AT GRANNY'S HOUSE is not for the faint of heart! It will take you on a thrill ride of twists and turns, sometimes keeping you literally on the edge of your seat. You know those commercials that say, "If you think you know...you don't know AARP"? Well, if you think you know "little old ladies", you don't know Granny! The film borrows style from the best of Hitchcock (you'll even see some "Birds"). Rebecca (Rachel Alig) arrives in the sleepy town of Haley somewhere in the mid-west, where she's been hired to be a live-in companion/caretaker for Marion, aka Granny (Glenda Morgan Brown). Granny resents the intrusion at first, but warms to Rebecca's kindness. A romantic interlude with a house guest (Les Mahoney) complicates matters...and I dare not say more. It's a thriller/love story--yeah,that's right. I guess you'll just have to see it to find out how those two genres go together!

This was a great movie! There were so many twists and turns, you just never knew what was going to happen next. The movie had a great Hitchcockian feel, updated to the 21st century.The movie looked great, and had great music too.I was very impressed with the direction, and the acting was very strong too--especially Rachel Alig as Rebecca, Glenda Morgan Brown as Granny, Les Mahoney as Ted and Bill Oberst, Jr as Boarstag.I don't want to give anything away, but suffice it to say that this one will keep you on your toes until the last scene! Check it out when you can.
