Straight off the bat, I didn't hate There's Someone Inside Your House. As far as 90s inspired teen slashers go, it's relatively entertaining - it's has some solid gore, it's pacing is snappy for the most part, and the opening 15 minutes or so has some genuinely unsettling wide shots of houses with subtly open doors, hinting at someone unwanted being inside. It's a neat trick that's repeated once, but then unfortunately abandoned.
The main issue with TSIYH is how darn predictable it is, down to every set piece and narrative beat. The eventual killer reveal is sadly an obvious one, and there are even moments where the plot threatens to get a little ballsy but chickens out at the last second.

TSIYH had some fun slasher moments for sure, and I did like the multiple mask concept of the killer, but it's over reliance on genre tropes, and tendency to play it safe drag the overall experience down.

When a maniac starts killing honeymooners, Lt. Boxer of the SFPD looks for help outside the box for bringing the killer to justice. This series debut had a decent plot until the ending, which was just stupid. I did like the main characters, although I could have used fewer details on their love lives.

After some public fights with an antique dealer, Nan and Bert both find themselves questioned by the police when he is killed. But when Bert's daughter is arrested for the crime, the twins must once again track down a killer. More fun moments and more great twists with this duo detective act.
