Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Edmar Nunes Júnior On a stormy night in the small town of Emeryville, Sera (Amanda Brown) is alone at home, but not for a long time. She sees on the local TV news that a serial killer is on the loose and his favorite victims are women alone. In addition, the serial killer carves the number 13 into his victim's chests. Sera is alone until the real estate consultant Andrew Byrd (John Lansch) shows up regarding the sale of her house even though Sera says that it is not on sale. Andrew couldn't go back home because it was raining so Sera lets him stay while he waits for his ride. Andrew tells Sera about his impending custody battle for his daughter Samara. Talking to Andrew Sera realizes that he is such a strange and an unbalanced man. Later that night, the security maintenance personnel John (Marc Hustvedt) turns up to fix the alarm system. He seems innocent enough with his highly religious nature in spite of that he presents another weird personality. Sera spends that rainy night with two strangers. She feels tense due to the possibility that one of those men could be the serial killer. However, tension builds when Andrew finds a knife inside John's bag. From that part until the end of the movie we can see all the thriller elements that will certainly surprise the viewers by its unexpected ending. Written and directed by Pritesh Chheda, the movie "For Sale by owner" was released in September 2006 in the USA and a few months later in Brazil. The genre is certainly a mix of thriller and horror, catching the viewer's attention since the first minute. It was filmed in Texas (USA). One positive aspect of this film is the length. It lasts less than one and a half hour. Moreover, it is well done, especially the edition .The cast is formed by Amanda Brown, John Lansch, Marc Hustvedt, and Trant Batey. Some parts of the movie are really breathtaking and the The movie is highly recommended for those who enjoy thriller movies with a 'background story' and great plot.

doctorgonzo23 I was initially excited to check this film out, but I was sadly disappointed. My girlfriend couldn't even be bother to stay awake for its full duration. I'm rather baffled with all the positive reviews on here at the moment. Perhaps it's not seen wide distribution yet... the rating, however, speaks for itself.The acting is probably the best thing the movie has going for it, but the dialog they have to work with is stilted and filled with awkward pauses. You do get the feeling though that they were making their best attempts to make a silk purse of a sow's ear, so to speak. There are too few characters to really leave any doubt in your mind about how the film will end (despite well meaning attempts to throw you off the trail) and I would think that most folks would have it figured out after about ten minutes. Coincidently, this is about where my girlfriend fell asleep, although she was still able to guess the correct conclusion on her first try the next day.I hate to tear down the work of anyone, and it is admirable that this project made it through from script to production and distribution, but there is so much other great independent work out there now in the same vein (all of the After Dark Horror Fest releases, for example) that the bar has been raised and movies like this just won't cut it anymore.

Claudio Carvalho In Emeryville, the dwellers are scared with the serial killer that craves the number thirteen on his victims. During a stormy afternoon, the school counselor Sarah (Amanda Brown) allows the insistent real-state agent Andrew Byrd (John Lansch) to stay inside her house while waiting for his ride. Andrew is disputing the custody of his daughter Samara and shows an unbalanced man while having a conversation with Sarah. When the security system agent John Denton (Marc Hustvedt) arrives in the house for maintenance of the alarm system, Sarah feels secure. However, when a mark with 13 is found in one room, Sarah realizes that she is in danger."For Sale by Owner" is a theatrical and tense thriller and shows characters in the edge in the thin line between sanity and insanity. The story is developed in a slow-pace and probably that is the reason of the low IMDb User Rating. However the acting is good and despite the last confused twist, I liked this little movie. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "A Casa do Pânico" ("The House of the Panic")

georgie-31 Don't know why people voted 6 or higher. Very thin story and regular acting. The end of the movie is like many others and a little bit childish:" Oh John, where are you?". I've never heard that before.The story is also like "swiss-cheese" (a lot of holes). You can't really figure out what's it about. Of course you can guess what's it about, but the plot is very poor and doesn't give the answers. Not even a thought for consideration, but a complete gap.And I didn't like the way it was shot. One big close-up. I don't like it, but that's just subjective. Very little music. And the 'freak-out' moments were funny. I didn't even shake my glass of Coke. A little bit different then for instance The Ring (I didn't sleep at all, that night.)My advise, do not rent or buy this one. There are many many many better movies with similar (and better) scenarios.
