A recently married couple (Andrea Vahl, William A. Robertson) think
they've found the perfect house, and for cheap, too ... that is until
their real estate agent (Monique Parent) shows them the basement, which
gives them the shivers - and it should, too, as while their are no more
traces of this now, many really bad things have happened there ...
- A family (Kris Smith, Timothy Dugan, Alex Markousis, Michael Wagner)
retreat to the basement during a tornado, and it doesn't take long
until the parents (Smith, Dugan) start fighting. Then the lights go
out ... and when they come back on, the parents are dead, murdered ...
- A psychopath (Jonathan Tiersten) brings a new victim to the basement
every Tuesday to keep him or her in a cage for a couple of days, then
kill him or her in whichever diabolical manner he sees fit. He has two
cages though, and the other one is occupied by a woman (Holly Greene)
and has been for the last five years - as the psychopath considers her
his muse, while she thinks it's a fate worse than death ...
- An annoyed neighbour (Dustin Stevens) has trapped a family (Felissa
Rose, John Philbin, Jamie Lee Baker, Tyler Nemeth, Evan Vallaincourt)
in the basement to torture and kill them and have his revenge for htem
having the perfect family life he never had ...

The Perfect House is a wonderfully mean little film: While
graphic in its depiction of violence and certainly not for the faint of
heart, it does focus more on its three stories though, trying (and
succeeding) to tell them rather than to just use them as hangers for more
and more blood and guts (which the film has plenty of). And add to that a
competent ensemble cast playing a set of well carved out characters, and a
directorial effort focusing on story and characters rather than just gore,
and you've got yourself a nice little film.
