What the hell happened at the end there? It got pretty nuts.
Catching up before it's leaving Shudder. Years after losing her father and sister at the hands of her frantic mother, Holly is married, lonely, and unable to live a normal life due to her past trauma. Her life takes a turn for the weird when she visits a cult seminar led by a charismatic leader Bruce O’Hara. Soon, she finds it difficult to differentiate between reality and dreams. This film is twisty, stylish, erotic, extremely bonkers in a lot of good ways, especially the third act where it goes full nightmare. This is the type of film that constantly plays with your mind and wants you to be unsure of what's real and what's not. it’s a struggle to process what’s happening or anticipate what’s coming next but I'm always on board with something like this. Some interesting performances, beautifully shot, there's also a lot of gruesome horror imagery and I really like the atmosphere of this film as well. Get a bit unfocused and confusing at times but I definitely enjoyed myself.
I should have read the comments and took the advice of finding another movie to watch. The best part of the movie is the beginning and that’s it. I’m not going to criticize the acting because I don’t believe the world’s greatest actor or actress could have save this film from itself. If the goal of this movie was confusion, then job well done. That’s the nice thing I can say. Avoid this movie or suggest it to a friend who you are looking to get even with.

Having watched Can Evrenol's brilliant and nightmarish "Baskin" last year, I was really excited to watch "Housewife" this year. Not only that, but the only preview I could find on YouTube was actually quite compelling, so my expectations were at their peak as I entered the movie theater. Alas, as my initial excitement faded, my expectations would soon be laid to waste. While the movie had a promising start, it quickly went astray. The acting was mediocre, at best, but all I kept wondering was why on earth would any studio hire a non-English speaking cast to speak in English for the majority of the time when these events are not even occurring in an English speaking country? It's distracting and adds absolutely nothing to the story. Furthermore, while most of the dialogue focuses on exposing who these characters are, what they do for a living and how they came to know each other, not much of it is truly dedicated to clarifying some of the most meaningful aspects of the story, such as the identity of the old lady in the painting or the importance of the pendant that she wears around her neck. We can try to guess and speculate, but we never really know for sure. Plus, the nudity, sex, blood and gore also feel gratuitous and bear no significance to the story that we're being told. They're just randomly thrown into the mix. The only hint of purpose is only provided at the very end, where all threads are tied together, but the ending itself failed to have much of an impact and I wasn't invested on these any characters to even care about what happened to them. There was simply not enough meat on these skinny bones. In conclusion, the acting was wooden, as there was very little chemistry between the actors themselves, the characters were underdeveloped, the plot was weak, the story was insubstantial and the on-screen violence, even though it was well executed, served little purpose apart from attempting to shock the audience. There are far better movies out there for you to watch, so I suggest that you don't waste your time on this one.
