Lullaby

I didn't notice a lot of the bad effects people complained about, because I kept skipping forward through the first 14 minutes of the film which are dedicated to a baby crying. 14 full minutes. There's a break after that, but plenty more baby crying to come, with parrot squawks to complement.

I know horror films always lean on the jump scare crutch but there's some really goofy moments - like for some reason the baby monitor makes a sound when there is silent movement!?

The 2D mother character is cringy. The 'honest reaction' scene will remind you of any dishonest woman you've worked with more than anyone you would date, so it seems forced

Overall they did try with the plot here, more than most modern films, but it remains unwatchable due to the constant baby crying (another crutch in 2022 films, weirdly). It adds nothing to the film.

My Uncle Jerry is a huge fan of crying baby movies. And he was just absolutely raving about how great this movie is. He wouldn't shut up about it. So finally I caved in and watched Lullaby. And he wasn't joking. During one stretch of the movie, there is about 15 minutes of straight crying baby wails. Just crying and crying. And so realistic! Such shrill ear piercing cries. I just couldn't get enough! Sadly there is quite a bit of parrot squawking from their pet bird which takes away from some of the crying baby screen time. And as the movie goes on there seems to be more jump scares than baby crying which didn't really sit well with me. But it's really hard to find a great crying baby movie these days. So despite some of the movie's shortcomings, if you're looking for a good baby cry, I highly recommend this one!

I ended up enjoying this one more than the reviews led me to believe I would. It was generally entertaining with a decent pace that kept me engaged.

I would say my biggest problem with it was that the movie as a whole almost felt like a PG-13 version of what I wanted it to be. It kind of felt like just a step above a made for TV movie. While it had a spooky story, some creepy moment and some cool effect/scenes, it just didn't go that extra step that could have made it genuinely scary and in my eyes all around more successful.

I think the most successful parts about this were the story and the acting. The story, at its foundation, while not super original was intriguing and I saw a lot of potential for something really cool. They didn't do a bad job by any means, like I said, it was just a little disappointing they didn't amp up the horror a bit.

I also thought the acting was quite good. Supporting characters were passable, but the mom and dad did a really good job and really sold it. I don't think that it would have been what it ended up being without them.

Overall I think the other reviews are a little harsh. This was a good movie. Nothing to run over to your streaming service and watch immediately, but still worth a watch. Would recommend.

Surprisingly, I did kind of enjoy this movie. Granted...there are hardly ANY horror movies out right now so my expectations are quite low, but overall it's a fine horror flick. When I saw it was the same director from the movie "Annabelle", I thought okay sure, let's check it out.

Make sure you go into this movie knowing it's a B-movie. The storyline was actually decent for a movie like this. I kept wanting to watch and see what happens in the end. The twist at the end is one thing that up'd my rating.

Be prepared, there are some funny-like scenes of a little two headed gremlin baby and even scenes of the demon Lilith that are just not scary at all, but go into this movie with an open mind. You'll get a good 3-4 creepy scenes, and possibly a couple jump scares. Like I said, the twist at the end made it a little more enjoyable in my opinion.

That's the biggest question I have about this film. Where did the 20 million dollar budget go? Clearly this is being swept under the rug by the studio. I'm sure the director got a lot and the lead actors, but where did the rest go?

The movie is just not good. Plot is basic, no character development, flat acting (especially in the CGI scenes), totally formulaic with the standard jump scares.

I don't know, it passed the time I guess. But besides that it just didn't do anything I'll remember. There are some creepy scenes and I'm going to guess that's how it was pitched and got green lit, but besides that where did that 20M go?

Maybe a money laundering scheme. Some creep factor that's it l. 4/10.
