Uncle Scoopy's Fun House

Home Sweet Hell

(2015)

Home Sweet Hell is a black comedy where Don and Mona Champagne (Patrick Wilson and Katherine Heigl) live the perfect marriage with their two perfect children, well according to Mona. Don runs a furniture shop in town and is tasked to hire a new salesperson and in walks Dusty (Jordana Brewster) and Don hires her instantly, thanks to a gentle shove from another salesperson and good friend Les (Jim Belushi), although he is reluctant to tell Mona that he hired a beautiful woman as the salesperson. But, Dusty is great at her job and even better when she is seducing him, so she deserved her 'Employee of the Month' mantle. Then things go wrong fast when Dusty tells Don she's pregnant. Don decides to buy her off, but doesn't have the money to do so. That's when he tells Mona about the affair and after he initial disgust at Don, she formulates a plan to kill Dusty, which sickens Don, but he goes through with. It turns out Mona is a natural at the nasty stuff and after disposing of Dusty's body herself, Dusty's boyfriend Murphy (A.J. Buckley), who is in on the scam to extort money from Don, comes after Don. That's when Mona set up a plan to get Murphy and his cronies arrested for Dusty's murder. As the bodies pile up, Mona becomes more sociopathic and Don just has to figure a way out of this mess.

A pretty good black comedy, better for the performances of Wilson and especially Heigl who is excellent as the sociopathic wife and gets all the best lines too. Her glee at cutting up Dusty is something else but is amusingly counterpointed with Don's being completely sickened by it all and his new found killer instinct. Worth a look if you like black comedies.
