Show more >> Hider in My House is one of those films that tries really hard to get under your skin, but sometimes misses the mark. The premise is intriguing: a young author, Molly, moves into a seemingly perfect apartment only to discover that she's not alone. The first half of the film builds a decent amount of suspense, and you can feel Molly's anxiety seeping through the screen. However, I found the pacing uneven, especially in the second half where the plot twists felt a bit forced. The performances are solid, and there are moments that genuinely creep you out, but I was left wanting more depth in the story and character development. It’s not a bad film by any means, but if you’re looking for something groundbreaking in the horror genre, you might want to keep searching. Hider in My House has its moments but ultimately feels like it could have gone deeper. Show less
