Thomas Sieben's film hits German cinemas this week with the gimmick that the whole movie was shot in one take. That's an enormous weight to place on the shoulders of lead actress Nilam Farooq from Berlin but critics' reviews suggest she pulled it off. She's had some experience of found footage horror - having been one of eight influencers in the movie Heilstätten (2017) who agree to spend a night in a haunted former Nazi insane asylum for an online deal.
Heilstätten was a surprisingly big international hit (especially in South America) making bundles of cash for the investors. In Home Sweet Home, pregnant Maria (Farooq) returns alone to the remote country house of her future father-in-law. She has no idea what secrets are lurking within. As she investigates strange occurrences, there is a sudden power outage while talking to her fiancé. Maria descends to the basement - ignoring one of the basic tenets of any experienced horror movie fan!
