The Lockdown Hauntings

Staring at the wall is better and less boring than this.

Compared to some of the Hollywood rubbish, this movie although low budget was actually not bad mostly all women cast and British made but I've seen a lot worse.

The scares where convincing as well as the acting.

It's not a blockbuster but considering the low budget for this movie.

It's a good attempt at horror.

I feel bad that tony todd was in this. He deserves more and his character couldve been utilized in a better way. Its a very mismatched film as we have these different segments and I suppose being filmed during the pandemic didnt really help its chances, there are just random scenes of seeminly unrealated characters talking to loved ones and many scenes are pretty boring. There are some supernatural goings on but they feel cheap and dont really cause any realy haunted vibes. The killings seemed weird to. If you want a good film by director howard j ford id recommend dark game it has a much beter story.

Sure, I sat down to watch the 2021 movie "The Lockdown Hauntings" because the movie had Tony Todd in it. Of course I did, after all he is an iconic horror actor after all. And yeah, I found the movie's title to be a bit dubious, but still I opted to sit down and watch "The Lockdown Hauntings".

But wow, this movie was bad. Terribly bad. The movie was fully and wholeheartedly devoid of anything even remotely resembling a proper storyline. And just what exactly went through the mind of the writer here, I cannot even begin to fathom. But wow, this movie was just rubbish.

So essentially this was about a serial killer returned from death to continue killing amidst the Covid-19 outbreak. Yeah, doesn't get any more corny than that.

The movie was nothing but repetitive scenes over and over. Sure, it was different women being terrorized by an unseen phantom assailant, but every singly scene was the same, and it was all just so pointless and bland to watch. That made for a very poor movie experience.

The characters in the movie were one-dimensional cardboard cut-outs milling about, trying to deliver some dubiously written dialogue and trying to bring repetitive scenes to life on the screen. It was fun for the first scene, then it just grew tiresome and annoying.

Director Howard J. Ford didn't really manage to deliver an entertaining movie here with "The Lockdown Hauntings". And for a horror movie, then I must say that this 2021 was a massive swing and a miss.

I can't recommend you waste your time, money or effort on a movie such as "The Lockdown Hauntings". It just simply isn't worth it. And some of us suffered through this ordeal so you don't have to. Trust me.

My rating of "The Lockdown Hauntings" lands on a two out of ten stars.

I notoriously ALWAYS finish a movie. My wife even makes fun of me for it, calling it a waste of my time.

Well... I found my white whale. The first movie in literally decades I couldn't be bothered to finish. With just 12 minutes left, I couldn't justify the waste of time and braincell function to keep on watching this movie with a, honestly, interesting concept.

I forgive the actors. We all have to start somewhere, right? But the writing, pasing, cinematography and sound design... I just couldn't anymore.

I spend the 12 minutes doing something stimulating, by cleaning the vegetable drawer in my refrigerstor.
