The Caretaker

Thoroughly enjoyed this film. Great cast, fascinating characters, gripping plot line. Had my attention from start to finish 👏 We went to the cinema to see it on the big screen. It's a slow burn up to a big finish, you won't be disappointed. It flips from normal life, to twisted reality and nightmares. Have to give a big shout out to the cast, you can tell they're a strong unit and there isn't a weak link.

And without giving anything away, the ending is insane! It builds and builds to the big dramatic finally you're craving.

Congrats to the crew too, beautifully shot and brilliantly edited. Bravo.

I was fortunate enough to attend the preview screening of this film on the 25th January 2025.

I can honestly say I was taken back by the level production that this independent movie has. I was super impressed. The editing and production from Luke Tedder is brilliant.

Performances of the leading cast could not be faulted. Each of them played their roles to perfection and created authentic and chilling characters. The vulnerability and sincerity from Ben Robert playing Eddie was great.

Landa Pictures always work miracles with limited resources but with bundles of passion and talent.

This movie is certainly worth a watch for any horror/thriller fans out there.

We were lucky enough to see The Caretaker last night on the big screen. An absolutely brilliant film from start to finish. Tense and spooky one minute, emotional the next. So many twists and turns that keeps you gripped from the start, and rooting for the main protagonists. Amazingly talented cast of all ages (including the youngest) all of whom demonstrated great depth, range and emotion. Great cinematography, direction and script with fantastic locations and make up artistry. Everyone who loves a gripping film should see this atmospheric film, its so good and deserves a really wide audience. Well done to entire cast and crew.

This film filled me with all sorts of emotions from anger to sadness! Anger from the child who suffered abuse from a loveless mother scary as the plot thickened with the twists and turns as the truth came out and emotional at the end! Great performances from everyone! A very dark story which at times had me on the edge of my seat! It had a mixture of everything from failed relationships to the start of a love story with a lot of horror in the middle to the end! Each actor played their part so well from the sad homeless Caretaker to the spoilt upper class Deputy Head Master they had me feeling this story was real !

I thoroughly enjoyed this film, though I'll admit it took a little while to find its footing. The opening was slower than I expected, but once the story picked up, it more than delivered. The strong storyline and compelling character developments kept me engaged throughout. Each character was layered with their own struggles and demons, which added depth and realism to the narrative.

The main character stood out in particular. Despite being a mute, their emotional range was excellent. The way they conveyed grief, determination, and hope through body language and facial expressions was captivating-a true testament to both the actor's skill and the direction.

Visually, the film was impressive. The cinematography was well executed, with thoughtful framing and lighting that added to the story's tone. The post-production work, from seamless edits and scene transitions, to atmospheric sound design, elevated the experience even further.

Speaking of sound, I couldn't help but notice and appreciate the ASMR-like elements woven into the scenes involving food. The attention to detail in these moments brought an unexpected but delightful sensory element to the film.

Finally, the cast was excellent across the board. Every actor brought their character to life with conviction and nuance, adding richness to an already well-crafted film. Many scenes made me feel uneasy, which proved the cast really nailed their roles.

I highly recommend this film & hope it gets the viewings it deserves. Congratulations to all involved.
