Reviews for The House of Adam
Possibly it might be of some interest with the right amount of buzz, but then so is a passing cloud.
Jorge Ameer's laughably unskilled drama is so poorly written and directed that it could be a fake movie within a John Waters camp classic.
That fishy smell? Itâs a sign that this merchandise is well past its sell-by date.
Had Jorge Ameer, the writer and director of The House of Adam, aimed for high-flying camp instead of low-rent earnestness, his movie might have stood a chance.
Operating squarely in Afterschool Special territory, the helmer delivers yet another unremarkable addition to the growing list of low-end, gay-targeted pics whose box office depends on what auds will endure just to see a softcore, same-sex love scene.
