Anyone Home? aka Model Home is a 2019 American horror-thriller about a single mother who is recruited to live in an unsold property in an empty development.
Directed by Patrick Cunningham – making his directorial debut – from a screenplay co-written with William Day Frank, the movie stars Monique Gabriela Curnen, Kathy Baker, Luke Ganalon and Jon Jon Briones.
Plot:
A single mother suffering from bipolar disorder begins to entertain dangerous fantasies while working as a live-in caretaker of an unsold model home. Isolated and under enormous pressures — from the local realtor and her own unrealistic expectations – she descends into a nightmare far more powerful than any American Dream…
Reviews:
“There are multiple layers embedded into the script of Model Home, and the duality of its purpose – the harsh keeping up with the Joneses commentary on the proverbial American dream and its brutal depiction of mental illness – gives the film its strength.” Jeannie Blue, Cryptic Rock
“It’s a new twist on an old genre, with a unique vision, pertinent social criticism, and powerful ideas. And while not traditionally frightening, it’s relentlessly disturbing and unnerving in a way that will haunt you.” Stephanie Cole, Nightmare on Film Street
Release:
Anyone Home? was released on VOD and Digital HD by Gravitas Ventures on September 20th, 2019. The movie premiered at the North Bend Film Festival on August 25th, 2019.
