A Mulher no Jardim

I'm not used to 'blumhouse' horrors - But i happened along this movie and I think it did a great job - it looks very good - professional - and the acting from the star woman is great - she herself plays a very sad person - self defeated and that topic is handled very well.

I dont have anything bad to say about this movie - I think it was careful handling the topic of depression and it was pg13 which was amazing bc it is very dark matter for such a rating. I've struggled a LOT with depression and I felt this movie honored it - while still having a story and entertaining horror elements.

I wasnt scared but i felt the dread of the main star and there is horror in that dread. I think they kept the story simple but yet it is psychological - and again it's pg13 so good on them for doing a good job. I dont know how anyone can call this a bad movie. Sure it wasn't some big huge iconic thing but it wasn't bad.

I can tell work went into it and though some parts were a little annoying - i think that's forgiveable - It's actually a smarter movie than i expected - I was impressed with the latter part of the movie. I also wanted to mention that i gave it 6 but maybe that's just bc I am very harsh - don't know - Most movies are a 2 to me, so this getting a 6 is actually very good.

I can't say I was impressed by The Woman In The Yard. It starts promising, a bit intriguing and mysterious but then it just went downhill. Weak writing was the major cause for a failed horror movie. The acting from the very small cast was okay though, nothing bad to write about them, but the plot just didn't help to save this movie. I'm not going to go into details as I don't want to spoil the story for future viewers but there were just things that didn't make any sense at all and that's why this wasn't a good movie. A bit boring as well at one point. I wouldn't waste my time with this one if I were you.

This movie was trash! I really wanted to walk out the theater. I'm done with Blumhouse ... This crap was the last straw!

Blumhouse Productions has become a powerhouse in modern horror, churning out low-budget films that consistently turn a profit. However, while their financial model is impressive, the studio's approach to horror often lacks depth, originality, and genuine terror. Rather than crafting stories with meaningful narratives or psychological complexity, Blumhouse frequently resorts to predictable jump scares, recycled tropes, and shallow characters designed to appeal to the broadest possible audience.

This movie really got to me - super intense and stressful. At first, I didn't understand anything, but slowly it all starts making sense, and you get pulled into it. It's not just some random woman appearing out of nowhere - there's actually something deeper, and that's what makes it interesting. I was a bit disappointed that they revealed the woman's face too early - I feel like it should've been saved for the end. But still, that's their choice. The tension, the silence, the way it messes with your head - it all works. It stays with you. Overall, it's a really good film. Definitely worth watching!

3 out of 5 stars.

The Woman in the Yard is a fair psychological horror film that has a creepy concept but as the story goes on it loses its steam.

Pros:

The plot is okay. About a family going through grief and living at a farm house. Until a creepy lady all in black sits out in the yard. And gets closer and closer with creepy messages.

It has a great cast ensemble and great performances.

The direction can be creepy as the lady gets closer and going after the family by the shadows.

Cons:

The film does lack scared, jump scares, or any thrills. I feel like the direction missed out on that opportunity.

As the plot starts unraveling during the climax, the real horror loses itself. Also making it difficult to even care for the film without going into spoiler territory. The climax and ending was a little disappointing.

Overall, it is an okay film that starts out great but falls apart too quickly as it gets to the end.
