Don't Let Her In

Not gonna lie here, GREATEST SEX SCENES EVER.

Annnnnd that actually is a lie. I lied.

BUT, depending on what your definition of "is" is, they COULD be. I mean they ARE unique. I'm thinking you've never seen sex scenes quite like these. Kind of, how could one put it... because it's POV, it's what I think it would be like to boink a woman with Mad Cow Disease.(she's diseased, not me) And I think that's something we've all been curious about. I mean, we've all got a darker curious side and wondering if Mad Cow makes the squishy twitch in a way that feels amazing is a valid curiosity; one that this film isn't afraid to explore.

There. I said it.

Enjoy.

A good watch. Enjoyed the role of Serena played by Lorin Doctor. Pretty good special effects, and a decent story. Would recommend to any horror/demon fans.

Not sure what I expected from this. Back in the day it would definitely have been straight to video, that's for sure.

The acting is...wooden. Yeah, that's the word. There's only 4 credited cast and only two of them are anything other than tokens. 10/10 for the men being the token fillers, mind. One delivers his lines like he's reading them off the wall. The other is...quite convincing because I suspect he's just being himself.

The ladies are considerably better, though as they carry the bulk of the script and action they need to be. Not just eye candy. While they're unlikely to trouble the Oscars committee, they deliver.

The script isn't great, the storyline is almost non existent but the effects are OK (pretty good for the budget, in fact) and the ending is neat.

Well shot. Well directed. Worth seeing if you're bored but don't expect horror or soft porn because it isn't either, really. Just a slightly supernatural thriller.

Granted, when I sat down to watch the 2021 horror movie "Don't Let Her In" and I saw that this was a Full Moon Features film, then I wasn't really overly impressed, especially since that company tends to make some rather dubious low budget horror movies. But I was intrigued by the movie's cover/poster, and since I hadn't already seen it, of course I opted to give "Don't Let Her In" a chance.

And I have to say that writer and director Ted Nicolaou actually managed to break that particular formula that Full Moon Features have been squeezing every last drop out of thus far. So it was actually a refreshing horror movie that TEd Nicolaou added to the Full Moon Features library.

The storyline told in "Don't Let Her In" was entertaining, albeit somewhat predictable and generic. But it made for some adequate entertaining, and it was definitely a step up in the production value and visual presentation for Full Moon Features.

Now, it should be said that the movie's cover misrepresents the movie somewhat, as that creature's face as seen on the cover got nothing to do with the movie in any way.

"Don't Let Her In" has a rather small cast ensemble that includes the likes of Kelly Curran, Lorin Doctor, Austin James Parker and Cole Pendery, none of whom I have ever seen before. The acting performances in the movie were adequate. And if I have to single out a single performance, it would be Lorin Doctor in the role of Serena, as she carried the majority of the movie actually.

Visually then "Don't Let Her In" was adequate. This is not a multi-million dollar Hollywood CGI or special effects gallore, for sure. But it was actually rather nice, and for a Full Moon Features production it was certainly a step up the ladder.

"Don't Let Her In" is watchable, but it was not an outstanding or particularly memorable addition to the horror genre. So this is not really a movie that I would recommend you rush out to get your hands on. But if it happens to land in your lap, by all means, give it a go.

My rating of "Don't Let Her In" lands on a mediocre five out of ten stars.

...as in don't waste your time on this. Mercifully, this film is only 61 minutes long, so at least if you do happen to watch it, at least you won't be squandering too much of your life on it. The bad news is this story is so been-there-done-that it could have been told in a half-hour format. In fact, this story of a succubus-type demon has been told already in countless feature films before, and in quite a few horror anthology shows, also.

I'm giving it 3 stars instead of 1 for not wasting too much time telling its hackneyed story, and for having a bit of female nudity, too (I consider gratuitous female nudity to be a plus for any low-budget horror film).
