Canção de Ninar

I won't go so harsh on it, because it felt good overall. Indeed, nothing original, but the execution was quite alright for a horror movie, the makers of it knew what this genre is suppose to look like, thus it was an honest effort.

It definitely has some Conjuring/Insidious vibes to it, but still feels like its own creation. So without spoiling too much, I'm going to go into this quite on point:

• acting was good. People took their job seriously and no one went overboard.

• special effects look medium towards good. Definitely some room for improvement on CGI, but I guess it could have been worse too.

• the plot is good, considering how hard is to make something completely fresh today using this story alone, I think it came with a more complex script.

• no gore, no nudity, not even jump scares.

So all in all, I think it could have been a little better, with some tension attached to it, but this is all that it had to offer. 5/10 stars for a decent work that seemed just a tad lazy every now and then.

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.

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!

When I watch a horror movie I want my wife to be scared, that's what makes it pleasant for me, as nothing really scares me. I do enjoy the genre though, but most of the time it's more comedy than horror for me. With Lullaby you get some creepy scenes, well at least creepy enough for my wife, but when I see that the budget for this movie was 20 million $ I wonder what they spent it on? I mean it's a couple of okay CGI's but it could have been better. The story is okay, nothing amazing though. Nice to see Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter, Oona did a decent job. It's the kind of horror movie they will probably make a sequel for, hopefully with the same budget but better spent this time.

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.
