Lullaby

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lullaby is above average with its acting, horror, and story. It is about a new parenthood couple raising a baby by themselves and realizing the difficulties of what it can go through. Until one day, Rachel (Mom/Main Protagonist) reads an lullaby from an unknown book to her baby so he can finally go to sleep the night they will never forget. Until that night, the new parents are receiving hallucinations, nightmares, and interactions of a demon named Lilith that takes all newborn babies with her and raises them by herself. Overall, the acting seemed pretty average and it was not that scary until the end of the film. The film is a bit slow, but the buildup is worth it along the way. Also, I did not like the ending to Lullaby. Would recommend it to watch it on either streaming services, DVD, or Blu-Ray because it felt like an above average horror flick.
