HIDER IN THE HOUSE: "Solid performances, intriguing plot and an interesting play on the 'villain or victim?' theme make director Matthew Patrick's film a delight trimmed with cunning and terror. Gary Busey, as an ill-treated and psychopathic adult living like a fugitive in the attic above a well-adjusted family's suburban house, is infused with just the right degree of humanity and confusion; while the audience is allowed to tune into two distinct worlds, one of affection and domestication, the other of a wild isolation which craves contact."

WINNER OF A SATURN AWARD

"HIDER IN THE HOUSE is an intelligent, gripping psychological thriller... What makes the difference is that director Matthew Patrick has taken trouble to explore fully the background of his villain-protagonist Tom Sykes (Played by Gary Busey), and despite his violent actions there is still an underlying sense of sympathy for him.
Patrick confidently directs with a good deal of thought and intelligence." VARIETY

"A well crafted story about a dangerous mental patient who hides in the attic of a beautiful house. Though on paper it sounds too daft to be true, the way the tale unfolds it is all too plausible. Well-acted and real hide-behind-the fingers stuff. Builds to such a pitch that I jumped sky-high." THE LONDON JOURNAL

HIDER IN THE HOUSE "A tense psychological suspense film which cannily explores family politics with sour wit and distinctly macabre conclusions." TIME OUT
