L'emprise

I had high expectations for this...good actors, eerie location, strange kids. But it just felt so flat. No real explanation for what was going on. The dad was just completely oblivious and a bit of a dick. I knew within the first 5 minutes that the mum was dead. It could have been so much better.

Homebound is a gooIt's set-up indicating the desolate abandonment and the outgrowth of nature signals and relates to story very well. Pretentiousness, denial and ignorant blindness portrayed vey well. A unique story with an innovative concept for a horror story. It's just simply a one-way trip with hosts unwilling to get their secret exposed.

Why Is This Horror? Thriller Is More Like It, Mmm, It's Not That Bad But Really, You Shouldn't Expect Much And There's a Young Actress In The Film Named "Hattie Gotobed" Well This Movie Should Have Went To Bed And Stayed In Bed And Never Ever Get Up Out Of Bed Again, Nawl, Really Mediocre From Start To Finish!

A tip to the director. It may be a good idea to LEAVE OUT the ONLY "climax" shot in the trailer. It's plain lazy and downright manipulative to use it to lure potential viewers in, just to have THAT be it. A slow, bland buildup to an ANTIclimactic shot that has already been seen. You want horrible reviews? Thats why you got horrible reviews. You're lucky you got 3 stars here.

The performances were all done quite well especially the stepmother and the oldest daughter. It started out with an interesting premise but then fell flat. The most terrifying scene that COULD have at least given it a tiny boost was NOT SHOWN!!!! What a major disappointment as a lot of the film leads us to that SCENE and then withholds it from us. I would avoid this one. No redeeming quality whatsoever. Just a waste of time!

This was sooo bad and so boring, was waiting for a big surprise at the end or something scary and it showed absolutely nothing apart from a few fly's on the window 💀 waste of time.

What we have is three crazy kids and possibly the dad to, it goes like dad remarried, brings new wife to house he lived in with previous wife, and the ex is not there ermm, kids see a bit off to the new wife, film meanders then it sort of ends with dead ex in basement and the dad wacked over the head dead with a shovel by his young daughter, new wife escorted to basement, we do not get to see dead wife, i was hoping for nor man bates mother in rocking chair, no we get a window with flys buzzing, ex wif run s up stairs in terror..next we hear one of the daughters say..it's time, END OF FILM, did the kids kill there real mum or was dad wacky erm, did they kill there dads new wife erm.. maybe they were spoiled pretentious brats who wacked the parents and wifey no2.

I haven't seen a good British horror movie in a long time. Maybe since Shawn of the Dead? Well, unfortunately this is not one either. Its slow... but its at least watchable for a British horror... I guess. There is not much horror or tension. The acting is ok at best. And the ending sucks. 3/10 Slow British "horror"

Considering 95% of the horror I watch receives a complete pass from me within the first five minutes... It isn't bad bad as everyone is indicating, this far in the reviews. I made it to the end! The acting is decent, the scenery somewhat atmospheric, and the story a little slice of domestic horror.
