The House of Adam (2006)
Haunting love story
This is the kind of movie that you will be thinking of days after you have seen it. When I first saw it, I was in awe by the beautiful scenery/cinematography and very moved by the story. However I did not quite see it for much of a thriller. To me, it was more of a love story. It almost reminds me of "Brokeback Mountain" with the difference that there is no names in this film but the message is the same. It's about love taken for granted. However, this story is told with a twist. Here there are supernatural overtones to the story and it gets scary towards the end for the newlywed couple. The story pretty much follows Anthony as he tries to deal with his demons as he must confront his father about money he's been stealing to attend detective school. Upon his father's request for a visit, he meets Adam, a young poor small town kid working for his father at a diner. Both strike up a friendship for different reasons. We quickly feel the chemistry between both characters upon them meeting each other. This is the kind of small town that we would find in middle America, somewhere like Kentucky where there are religious fascist trying to force their religious beliefs on everyone. Unfortunately,this is what will ultimately end up killing Adam. For the newlywed couple who has the unfortunate luck to move into this haunted house, they begin to experience signs from beyond the grave. I found this film to be inventive and original. It's a very suspenseful love story. It's got a good cross over potential. The gay love story is prominent throughout the film, but the film does have a message everyone can relate to. This is a movie that would make a great conversation over coffee after seeing it. I highly recommend it. Apparently the story is based on a true story. I am very curious to know what actually happened and where.
