Cobweb

in my opinion I love the movie but leaving your 8 year old kid in a basement like that as his grounding is just absolutely absurd his an 8 year old child 😭that ruined my whole mood for the movie and saying:"We are doing this because we love you",now that just very wrong and bad parenting 😭but lowky it isn't really but still😭✋🏻

Imagine being Eight years old, and hearing voices in your bedroom, that's the scenario for poor Peter, who can't even rely on his parents. Once again, I was hooked by a trailer, but unlike the last few horrors I've seen, which have all been disappointing, Cobweb was actually a pretty good movie. Let's be honest, it's far from perfect, but then again, what is, at times it was a little too dark, and I wish they hadn't shown the figure, I would have preferred the ambiguity. I didn't care for some of The CGI, had they toned her down a bit, I think it would have worked better. The ending felt a bit rushed, I wonder if they'd cut a number of scenes out, that said it was nice to watch a movie that didn't run for three hours. The plus points, quite a few of them, first of all, pound for pound, this had more jump scares than I've seen for quite a while, and when they came, they were really good, the moment with the mother coming down the corridor was excellent, plenty of tension and unease. I thought the acting was terrific, Lizzy Caplan, Antony Starr and young Woody Norman were all on point. Better than expected, I enjoyed it. 7/10.

I really enjoyed the movie right up to the final act, when it became something completely different from what it was set up to be. Everything that happened in the final fifteen minutes bordered from laughable to moronic, and none of it made any sense. Why would bullies expect the boy to be home alone? What was their plan? If parents were home, wouldn't they just call the police? How come the monster was easily able to tear everyone else limb from limb but could just barely scratch the teacher and was easily overpowered by the child? And what's with that ending? Does it imply that the boy and the teacher aren't going to tell anyone? And the boy is going to live at the house alone? What? Are they also going to hide all those bodies? Why would they? Wouldn't they just call the police? I heard these inconsistencies being explained by the movie being from a child's perspective, but I find it really hard to suspend my disbelief when the rest of it is so grounded in reality. To me, it just comes off as them not knowing how to finish the movie in a way that would make at least a tiny bit of sense.

Eight year old Peter begins having terrible dreams, nightmares caused by a voice behind his bedroom wall, and the strange behaviour of his cruel and abusive parents Carol and Mark. Peter has only one source of help, his teacher, Miss Devine.
