Most of my reviews come from movies that are sent my way for review. In fact, I would say a solid 90% of my reviews are movies sent to me for review. However, there is that 10% that I review just because I’m genuinely curious about a film. I can no longer watch a movie without reviewing it. I have to talk about the movie I just watched.
A few weeks ago I was walking through Walmart when I saw the DVD release of The Curse of Hobbes House. I had remembered the press release for this one sometime back and decided to snag it for the price. After watching a few films from Dustin Ferguson I decided that now was the perfect time to give this one a spin.
**Spoiler Alert** The film follows a down on her luck young woman living in her car when she receives a call that a distant relative has passed away leaving behind the house and property which she left to her. However, her posh sister is also an heir to the property. Hoping to cash in on the property she visits but soon finds herself face to face with an ancient evil when the undead start attacking the home in search of flesh. **Spoiler Alert**
I was very curious about this one because the artwork and trailer really got my hopes up but just a few minutes into it I knew it was a snoozer. I hate writing negative reviews because movies are the product of some one’s hard work but The Curse of Hobbes House was extremely boring and difficult to finish.
The acting in this one is pretty solid. The cast is fully dedicated to their roles but the characters are painfully bland and one dimensional. The characters are cliched and at times they are just filling up the scene instead of carrying the story.
The story for this one is nothing we haven’t seen before. The film used a story we have seen a million times by this point since Night of the Living Dead with a little different origin story. Here we follow a group of people fight off the undead in a farm house. Literally the same story as NotLD. However, the origins tracing back to a king and his lords was somewhat pretty entertaining but is forgotten after the opening animated sequence.
Finally, this is not a gory zombie flick that most genre fans are looking for. We get some make-up effects and a few splashes of blood here and there but nothing that will stand out. Overall, The Curse of Hobbes House tries to do what Roger Conner’s Rebirth could. It’s not a fun or entertaining retelling of the Romero classic. Instead, if borrows heavily from the story without contributing. Skip it.
“The Curse of Hobbes House” might work if you prefer lighter horror films or just have to consume every zombie film out there. Otherwise, save it for some night when you have NOTHING else you feel like watching.
" In 1640, during the English Civil War, Hobbes' residence was looted and destroyed by a group of Parliamentarian soldiers. This incident had a profound impact on Hobbes, as it forced him to flee and left him without a home. The "Cruze of Hobbes House" marked a turning point in Hobbes' life. It intensified his fear of anarchy and chaos, as he witnessed firsthand the destructive consequences of societal disorder. This experience deeply influenced his political philosophy and led him to develop his theory of the social contract. According to Hobbes, human beings naturally exist in a state of constant conflict, driven by their self-interests and desires. He believed that without a strong central authority, such as a government, society would descend into violence and chaos. This view was undoubtedly shaped by the traumatic events surrounding the "Cruze of Hobbes House." Hobbes argued that individuals should willingly give up some of their freedoms by entering into a social contract with a governing authority. In return, the government would provide security and order, preventing the destructive consequences of a state of nature. This idea of a social contract was central to Hobbes' political philosophy and formed the basis of his argument for a strong, centralized government. Ultimately, the "Cruze of Hobbes House" symbolizes the personal experiences that molded Hobbes' thinking. While his ideas may have been controversial and often challenged, it is important to consider the context in which they were developed. By examining the events that shaped his philosophy, we gain a deeper understanding of the man behind the theories and appreciate the relevance of his ideas in the historical context of his time..
