A spark of hate is what you all need to ignite a raging fire. As the fire raged, we keep hating to make sure it never dies. The whole film is focused on what is being said above and in this aspect it really does get the points solidly. The house, the characters acts as a reflection of our society and it gives us way too many options to choose our sides and it also does away with it just when you think you chose the right side because hate and extremism comes from both the sides here. So this is one thing I really liked about this film. Without spoiling, some Characters clearly represents those peaceful religious people who doesn’t want any trouble or create hatred towards anyone. But few others, also very religious, represents the extremism that actually is the reason for many wars, hate crimes and what not. This juggling of sides and extremism is the only thing I liked in this. The thing I didn’t like was how it stayed very much on surface level and at some point after first hour, it started like it’s struggling to hold the screenplay that is basically a single location film. It’s always tricky to make a single location engaging throughout and writing can easily get lazy. Here same thing I felt especially in the second half, it stopped surprising - mystery that was surrounding the characters in the first half was now gone, it stayed in one space almost throughout, though I liked one of the surprise arcs here in the end which I don’t want to spoil.
