Critics Consensus

Home Sweet Hell mistakes misogyny for subversive wit, aiming for black comedy but ending up with a grueling test of viewer endurance that wastes game efforts from its likable leads.

Questions start arising immediately: Is it satire? Is it black comedy? What is this?

If Katherine Heigl thought the unappetizing dark comedy "Home Sweet Hell" might somehow help her flagging film career, she was greatly mistaken.

In the end, Home Sweet Hell is neither an adequate black comedy nor a good slasher film. It's just hellish. There's nothing sweet about it.

Insipid black comedy about suburban materialism and murder.

[Home Sweet Hell is] nothing more or less than a toothless satire of suburban conformity that might have felt a little more dangerous six decades ago.

The acting was good but the plot didn’t make a lot of sense. The ending left a lot of questions.

Very memorable movie for all the right reasons. It was disturbingly good even though I didn't agree with some of the context but Katherine and Patrick did an amazing performance in this dark comedy..can't believe it go such low reviews.

Surprised but maybe shouldn't be by critics reviews. Audiences far fairer. Good cast and set up. just loses pace and comedy/off beat style around half way. As bizarre as situation is .Felt routine by end .A pity had potential to be better

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Not that bad. However, it seems they made a pretty good character out of the wife who is honestly the star of the show, but they end up wasting her at the end.
