Summary
Reviewers say 'The Manor' delves into aging, mental health, and societal treatment of the elderly through horror, with Barbara Hershey's performance receiving praise. However, the film faces criticism for its predictable plot, underdeveloped characters, and a controversial ending. Some reviewers felt it relied on clichés and lacked originality. Despite these drawbacks, many appreciated the film's atmosphere, tension, and unique horror approach.
Featured reviews
... Feeble, Unoriginal, Night-scares! An ageing dancer unintentionally entombs herself in a home for the elderly only to discover some residents are not what they present. Everything you've seen before although the performances are notable and the special effects far from wooden.
We really enjoyed this movie right up until the twist. I found it very disappointing.
This is a very good horror film. It's not that scary but it has a beautiful gothic atmosphere with a few scare jumps. The story is a bit stupid but it's also interesting and beautiful. Lead performance is superb. All in all, it's a decent well made horror.
Blumhouse presents a TV movie that is better than most. There were even a deft scare or two. A 70 year-old dementia patient doesn't like her new digs at the nursing home. There's something bumping in the night and the cat knows who's next to die. The whole place is appropriately gloomy and the story is delightfully doomy.
I cannot get over the ridiculous fact that a perfectly healthy, vibrant woman, only 70 years old, WANTS to go into a nursing home. That is absurd. Those are horrible places where people go to lose their freedom and die. Who would WANT to do that? It does not fit her character. That alone pissed me off enough to lower my rating.

He shows up and sleeps next to patients who are in their last few hours of life, and is credited with "predicting" over 100 deaths. A cat in Stephen King's feature film, Doctor Sleep (2019) is based on the same cat.
