While a bit of ironic detachment isn’t necessarily a hindrance, too many latter-day horror flicks’ attempts to show they’re in on the joke make it difficult to get invested in their stories. Despite initially appearing poised to repeat this too-cool-for-school mistake, “Someone” moves past it by emphasizing not vengeance but redemption.
From a horror perspective, the film is lacking, but it more than makes up for it with well developed characters and a killer who preys on secrets.

THERES SOMEONE INSIDE YOUR HOUSE feels like a crazy concoction of a horror film: part 80s slashers, part Scream, part Breakfast Club. It captures a lot of feelings and vibes, and overall it never really misses a beat with what its going for. The killer and the masks they wear are brilliant, and the ensemble cast feels lived in and like actual people. It's a very competently made horror movie with a smart script and realistic characters, definitely a great watch for the 2021 Spooky Season.
Report
Not too bad horror, with cute twists and a mundane but engaging storyline. A big flaw, however, is predictability, you know very well who the killer is from the first part because it is obvious, and even if the film tries to address you to other suspects it fails. Another flaw is the lack of in-depth analysis of the characters who are poorly characterized and kept too serious, they are all characterized by the few traits that make them distinct and are practically all stereotypes.
Report
Why the murderer feels compelled to don a 3-D printed mask of each victim’s own face isn’t entirely clear—nothing about, say, recording a repugnant podcast episode merits symbolic self-inflicted harm—but, hey, it’s a novel gimmick.
The film feels like a missed opportunity to interrogate society’s fervent need to make pariahs out of people for their past mistakes.
A slasher movie could be a compelling framework through which to subvert the (timeless but super Twitter-ified) temptation to reduce people to the worst thing they’ve ever done, but There’s Someone Inside Your House isn’t sharp enough to meaningfully subvert our bloodlust or eviscerate our need for blame.
In trying to have it both ways, Brice has created a messy, overstuffed parody of moral policing that squanders the promise of its cleverly executed opening.
There's Someone Inside Your House tries to make you think it's got a catchy, viable gimmick when in reality it's empty and unsatisfying.
The premise of the film I found interesting, someone sneaking inside your house while you are asleep to expose your secrets all while wearing a mask of your face.
Unfortunately all interest is lost pretty quickly as the focus leads away from the killer and why they are doing the killings and spends too much time telling overtelling us the main characters secret and trying lazily for us to think the killer is someone it obviously isnt.
While the cast is diverse, they are diverse just for diversity sake. None of the them have any personality to go with it. The **** footballer is just referred to as **** and randomly appears throughout the film just so a character can make a **** observation. Same goes to the non binary person who i guess likes Nasa? that's their whole personality in the film. The acting is fine but the actors had nothing to work with for us to care or make them feel alive.
In the end when we find who the killer is I could not explain to you why they did it, how they learned everyone's secrets or why they why wearing masks of their faces since that had been forgotten.
Its a shame really.

Someone tell me, what does the title of the movie have to do with its content? There's Someone Inside Your House is a teen slasher that is not going to please any fan of the genre.
