A Cry from Within

A Cry from Within (2014) is currently available on Tubi. The storyline follows a family in New York City that unfortunately losses a child. During a trip to the country they have an accident and find a house while looking for help. The owner of the house helps them and offers them an opportunity to move to the country if they ever decide to leave the city. The family decides a change in lifestyle may be a good idea after their recent loss; unfortunately for them, they may discover the country picked them as much as they picked the country. This movie was directed by Zach Miller in his directorial debut and stars Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), Cathy Moriarty (Raging Bull), Deborah Twiss (Kick-Ass) and Robert Vaughn (The Magnificent Seven). The storyline for this is a bit cliche and didn't have enough unique elements to be good. The cinematography is uneven and the scare aspects are minimal. I think they hoped the background screams in this would be more scary than they were. The acting is also uneven but there was a couple good fight scenes, especially the ones involving the kids. Overall this is a below average addition to the genre that is only worth watching if nothing else is available. I'd score this a 3/10 and recommend skipping it.
