If you consider yourself who takes every single movie seriously for the purpose it was created, then this probably isn't one you wish to view. However, if you are willing to sit back and laugh at a truly strange movie, paying no attention to the point of it--Then it's a good rental for a rainy day with a friend or two to laugh with. Pay close attention to the grunts, repeated things said by the "hider in the house". Personally, I love films which make no sense and are not at all realistic. I enjoyed it, perhaps you will too.
