The Caregiver

The story is actually pretty good but the acting is terrible.

It starts out pretty good and we actually thought this is going to be a very watchable movie. So we were pretty excited. But then reality sets in.

The lead female role plays her part "ok", but you cannot say that for the rest. There will be scenes where you think....it this a joke. You will loose interest but still curious enough to get through it.

It is actually a shame as this could have been way better if they just took their time to really see this through again before release.

We love movies and really wanted to like this more.

The reason for not givning a 1 start is because of the lead role and the story.

IGNORE POSITIVE COMMENTS THE MOVIE IS TRASH. SHE COULD ESCPAE THE HOUSE 50 TIMES .

THE PRODUCTION IS AWFULL . DONT WASTE TIME.

THE MOVIE HAD POTENTIAL BUT , WAS SO BAD AT THE END.

FIRST 20 MINUTES WERE ACTUALLY PRETTY INTRESTING .

BUT THE REST OF THE MOVIE WAS HARD TO WATCH .

40 % OF MOVIE WAS SCENES WHERE THE MAIN ACTOR OR THE SO CALLED "CAREGIVER" IS MOVING UP OR DOWN STAIR OR JUST CENES OF HER CRYING FOR 50 SECOND.

THE MOVIE HAD POTENTIAL BUT , WAS SO BAD AT THE END.

SHE COULD HAVE KILLET THE GRANNY LIKE 20 TIMES.

SHE KNOCKS HER OUT AND THEM LEAVES THE ROOM GOING TO THE OTHER , INSTEAD LEVING THE HOUSE.

IF YOU WANT TO WASTE YOUR TIME , ENJOY.

Emma takes a job as a caregiver for a senile old woman. Strange things start happening in the house. What Emma doesn't know is that the house hides a terrifying secret.

The secret is this movie stinks. Nothing about it is good or real. From the outset, it's supposed to be set in NYC, 1989, but everyone seems to have a weird indistinguishable European accent.

Further, the sets are strange. In fact, the entire movie seems to have been shot in one old house with crumbling walls -- even shots not supposed to be in the main house seem to be in the same building. It all looks so similar.

And nothing looks like NYC at all. It all looks European. So, from the very beginning, you are confused. And then the bad acting sets in. And it's really bad.

Compounding this is the ridiculously slow pace of the film. It will put you to sleep. Truly one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time.

Whenever I review a film that I rated under 5 stars I tend to start by completely spoiling a plot and pre-checking that "yes" button asking me if my review contains spoilers. I'm doing this for the common viewer. If I spoil it for you, perhaps I'll save you from watching it, but in this case, there isn't really much to spoil. The plot can be summed up in a single sentence, but the creators must have thought it was so deep that it needed a many layered ending.

This should-have-been-a-short disaster contains about 20 minutes of screaming without any score behind it, so if you watch it, make sure you keep the volume down or your neighbors might call 911, because that's what normal people do when they hear scream and numerous gunshots in real life. Shoot. Is that a spoiler. Nah, don't think so.

You'd be hard pushed to find something worse.

It's not even a B movie, it's much further down the alphabet.

The acting is hideous- just pathetic. It's Hollyoaks with Eastern European accents. The 'action' scenes (I use the phrase lightly) are simply woeful. Laurel and Hardy looked more realistic.

Then there is the effort at suspenseful music- I think the pianist had 7 fingers amputated.

The story is weak as a can of Carling and there is absolutely nothing gripping about tge storyline or tge characters. At one point, I partly wanted the main protagonist to be killed just for being so utterly stupid. Avoid.
