House of Shadows

First couple of minutes are OK, then it rapidly descends into the usual low budget, unwatchable drivel, directed by a leaden handed teenager, who's just emerged, too soon, from film school. Any hope of trying to watch was further dashed by a completely incoherent male lead, the 'boyfriend', I jumped forward & forward again to see if I was imagining this, but every time he spoke, it was nearly impossible to understand what he was saying - and I'm English! The desire for naturalistic actors, is very prevalent today, no Shakespearean tones here please, but if you can't actually hear 90% of what someone is saying, there's no point in watching, so I didn't.

Who on earth keeps funding this writer/director's films, he's atrocious.

Film, after film, after film, of complete garbage, an embarrassment to the British film industry - even Danny Dyers' worst films are blockbusters compared to a Nicholas Winter film.

I was given the chance to sit down and watch the 2020 movie "House of Shadows". And the fact that I hadn't already seen it and with it being a horror movie then of course I managed to find the time to sit down and watch this movie from writer and director Nicholas Winter.

Granted, I hadn't even heard about "House of Shadows" prior to sitting down to watch it. So I didn't even know what the movie was about. I just knew it to be a horror movie, which was essentially all needed to have my interest caught.

Well, turns out that "House of Shadows" wasn't an entertaining or enjoyable movie. It was just horribly bland and incredibly boring, to be bluntly honest. The storyline was just dreadfully slow and it didn't help one bit that nothing of any interest took place throughout the course of the prolonged story.

And the characters in the movie weren't really overly interesting either. The acting performances were adequate, though. However, with such a small cast ensemble in a movie, then there is a lot more pressure on the actors and actresses to put on memorable and outstanding performances to carry the movie. Well, that just wasn't a thing that happened in "House of Shadows".

For a horror movie, then "House of Shadows" was frightfully devoid of anything scary, much less anything intersting.

My rating of "House of Shadows" is a more than generous two out of ten stars, based mostly on the production value of the movie. This movie was a swing and a miss from writer and director Nicholas Winter.

OMG what a waste of time. This movie, if I can call it so, just sucks.Very bad atmosphere, bad acting, boring, not even one horror scene, absolutely nothing. Avoid it....

Lame. Amateur. Dull. Boring. It's not even childish for God's sake... There isn't one element that makes you wanna watch it fully! Except... Sheer Will Power! 😅
