Playhouse: Castillo Maldito

With meter thick stonewalls, crypts and spiraling steep staircases, with corridors ending in a wall of newlaid stones, that hides the secrets of a grueling past, its almost like shakespeares epic story about a danish king at a stormy pit in the catholic scotland....anyway its not mine but the landscape is in fact just like where i live, with blistering wind over the foaming waves by the shoals near the end of the world, where the director has mended an impressing product of light and dark, love and hate and heaven and hell. the use of different camera angles makes you feel like a fly on the wall, the fast shifting settings makes you feel insecure, and the scares...well that depends on how drunk or shroomed you are.

but its a slowburning quasihorror flick, that may have a fuse thats to long for the adrenaline seekers among us. though there arent any significant flaws in the production nor in the cast, it will be put in the neverending story bin, a bin that 50% of decently made horror flicks will lay and decay.

but by all means its hi above the new normal of british filmproductions these days, so its a small recommend from the grumppy old man

Hands down one of the worst movies I have ever seen and I watched every minute of it. I find it hard to believe this film belongs in the Thriller/Horror genre. There simply wasn't anything scary about it. My favorite genre has always been horror and the only terrifying aspect of this movie is it never got better, from it's acting to it's plot until it's last minute it just never got better and I watched every minute so I gave it every chance to impress. My rating 2 out of 10 is for the effort the film crew and cast put forward. This movie was bad but hey they did make a film, a really bad film but you can't give up, on to the next...

Nothing new or interesting in anyway except one incredibly common bit of modern movie nonsense was flipped, it's usual that you have a woman who's in her late 20's in real life having college aged children it was the father in this movie and it added a girl in her late 20's as a high schooler so the age gap made even less sense than normal. The setting was excellent but it was as this movies sole redeeming quality.

I thought this movie had a good concept and a great setting. It's a shame it was wasted on what seemed to be bad editing and one of the worst performances by a leading man ever on film.

I found Playhouse to be very scary and very entertaining. It was very suspenseful and the special effects were incredible This movie has been my favorite horror movie in november 2020. i have a huge tolerance for horror movies and scary stuff in general, and this is the ONLY movie that has ever really scared me. so if you're looking for a good scare GET UP RIGHT NOW AND GO SEE IT!!! 10/10
