the hamilton tell the story of the four hamilton sibling and teenager francis ( cory knauf ) and twin wendell ( joseph mckelheer ) and darlene ( mackenzie firgens ) and the eldest david ( samuel ) who be now the surrogate parent in charge . the hamilton move house a lot and franics be unsure why and be unhappy with the way thing be . the fact that his brother and sister kidnap and imprison and murder people in the basement doesn not help relax or calm francis nerve either . francis know something just isn not right and when he eventually find out the truth thing will never be the same again . co write and co produce and direct by mitchell altieri and phil flores a the butcher brother ( who only other film director credit so far be the april fool day ( 2008 ) remake and enough say ) this be one of the film to die for at the 2006 after dark horrorfest ( or whatever it call ) and in keep with pretty much all the other i have see i think the hamilton be complete total and utter crap . i find the character really poor and very unlikable and the slow move story fail to capture my imagination or sustain my interest over it 85 and a half minute too long 86 minute duration . the there the awful twist at the end which have me laugh out loud and there this really big sustain build up to what inside a cupboard thing in the hamilton basement and it eventually reveal to be a little boy with a teddy . be that really suppose to scare u . be that really suppose to shock u . be that really something that be suppose to have u talk about it a the end credit roll . be a harmless look young boy the best twist end that the maker could come up with . the boring plot plod along and it never make clear where the hamilton get all their money from to buy new house since none of them seem to work ( except david in a slaughterhouse and i doubt that pay much ) or why they haven not be catch before now . the script try to mix in every day drama with potent horror and it just do a terrible job of combine the two to the extent that neither aspect be memorable or effective . a really bad film that i be struggle to say anything good about . despite be write and direct by the extreme sounding butcher brother there no gore here and there a bit of blood splatter and a few scene of girl chain up in a basement but nothing you couldn not do at home yourself with a bottle of tomato ketchup and a camcorder . the film be neither scary and since it get a very middle class suburban set there zero atmosphere or mood . there a lesbian and suggest incestuous kiss but the hamilton be low on the exploitation scale and there not much here for the horror crowd . film in petaluma in california this have that modern low budget look about it and it not badly make but rather forgettable . the acting by an unknown ( to me ) cast be nothing to write home about and i can not say i ever felt anything for anyone . the hamilton commit the cardinal sin of be both dull and boring from which it never recovers . add to that an ultra thin story and no gore and a rubbish end and character who you do not give a toss about and you have a film that do not impress me at all .
