Reverend David Poe and his psychiatrist wife Dr. Clare Poe trade hectic New York life for an idyllic rural farmhouse; the perfect place for 10 year old twins Jack & Emily to run, play and imagine. Documenting this lifestyle change, David decides to film every holiday and special family event. To the Poe's horror their home movies reveal an increasing malice and evil within their children and by Valentine's Day, the children's sadism has turned to a blood lust for human prey. They both turn to their respected professions to treat the apparent "disorder" with drug therapy and exorcism. Peace returns but only until Easter, when a school friend joins the family Easter Egg Hunt and the evil twins true plan emerges. Ever recording movies, David finds the children have turned tables on Mum & Dad and the couple find themselves the unwilling guest stars of the gruesome "Jack & Emily Show". (High Fliers Films)

For me, Home Movie is the film by which similar "home" horror films should be judged, i.e. tapes that someone makes in their private home and then a horror film comes out based on them. It has that found footage feel to it, but it's even more specific in that it's home video. This film is good. It has a very good atmosphere, and even if the picture is of poor quality and even if the camera is shaky in places, you can still see quite a lot.
