Home Sick

2007 ·1h 29m · ★ 3.7 (18)

A maniac with a suitcase full of razorblades unleashes a super human killer upon a group of kids in a small Alabama town. They must take up arms with a insane Chili enthusiast if they want to survive.

Why it matters

A brutal grindhouse throwback that mixes slasher carnage with Southern gothic weirdness and a dash of dark humor.

  • Razorblade suitcase kills channel ’80s splatter sensibilities with practical gore effects that still pack a punch.
  • Small-town Alabama setting adds a dusty, claustrophobic mood that echoes regional horror’s best — think early Tobe Hooper or Jeff Burr.
  • The offbeat chili enthusiast sidekick injects oddball charm and keeps the madness from tipping into straight-up nihilism.
  • For fans of visceral, no-frills slashers who appreciate a little local flavor and a cult vibe, Home Sick delivers a raw, unpolished bite.
