Preview: House of Numbers (2010)

Synopsis:

A documentary that challenges scientific evidence about HIV and AIDS.

• Poster: D-

Review:

A giant question mark using the computer-generated HIV blob from the trailer is neither inventive nor fresh and the overabundance of red, although appropriate to a blood-bourne illness, is unnecessary.

• Trailer: F

Review:

Many who watch this trailer will probably ask the same question: "what about the scientific community?" And while some may be swayed by what's presented in the trailer into believing there could be a conspiracy at work, I found their arguments specious and insulting. Then, after I did some research into the controversy and discovered that the filmmaker is an unapologetic HIV/AIDS denier, I recognized just how many falsehoods were presented in a way to hopefully convince others of such theories. My recommendation is not to even watch the trailer and avoid this film altogether.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:
