Caveat

If I would collect movie props that drumming rabbit toy would be the first thing I would buy. I'm not sure, no in fact I'm 100% sure, that thing wouldn't be allowed in the house by my wife. It was creepy and fun to watch. The movie has a good suspense level, and some mystery that keeps you interested. I thought Jonathan French was very convincing in his role, pretty good acting of him. The horror is there but it's mild, it's all more about the suspense and mystery. Overal the story is fine but could have been better. It's good enough for a one time viewing though.

I saw another review that rated this a 1 with the recommendation to watch the 3rd Conjuring instead because it's a 10. Simply put, if you're the type of person that thinks Conjuring 3 is a 10, you will not like this.

This film is not perfect but any means, my phone held most of my attention the first 30 minutes or so, but it eventually grabbed my full focus and I even went back after it ended and rewatched the beginning just to see what I missed.

You can read other (positive) reviews for more details. I'll just say if you liked The Witch you'll probably like this. If you didn't like it, chances are you won't like this either, but I will say this creeped me out far more than the Witch did, so there's a chance.

Damian Mccarthy will be a name I watch for in the future for sure.

Will you go to this sketchy and clearly dangerous place and babysit a weirdo child? Nope - FIN

A haunted house horror on Shudder. This movie was less than an hour and a half, but man it was slow and boring for the first hour and 10 minutes. It's atmospheric, but not as creepy as it intended to. I'll admit, the usage of background noise was quite effective in some scenes. Then, the horror really become significant at the end. The eyes were used to great extent that kept me on the edge.

My biggest problem was that this movie felt like testing horror and not about making a coherent story. Lots of things felt random and pointless.

Overall, the editing for horror was pretty good, but the story was nonsense. 5/10.

This film is a descent into madness and horror as it unravels a mystery surrounding a decades old murder. Things don't add up starting immediately from the very first scene in the film. Something scary is happening but you just can't figure out what it is. That's what you feel like through the entire movie. Something unravels in the mystery that is the main plot and it connects to another mystery.

This film is terrifying on so many levels. I won't give away any spoilers but one thing is certain and that is, is that murder is afoot.

7/10. Worth the watch, but you better not watch this one alone in the dark!

First off I relish watching any Irish horror film being from Dublin and a big horror buff I'm always on the look out for a great Irish horror film and there have been at least a couple. I really wanted to love this film after seeing the great trailer and poster. Top marks for the trailer and poster. This film had my full and undivided attention up to the first hour passing and unfortunately it really began to lose me thereafter. I really wondered why that was. I think the story is gaining momentum for the first hour, it's really well shot, it sounds great and the story is original but when it boils down to it the characters in the film were quite difficult to really relate to and emphathize with. I didn't care what happened to the main character in the latter moments of the film and the suspense had vanished. 'Caveat' feels like a great idea for a short film that was then used for a feature film instead. It feels very long and a bit repetitive after a short period of time. I wasn't interested in any of the characters and I think that's the film's downside. There wasn't any bad acting or anything like that I just didn't feel anything for any of those characters. Maybe such a small cast also added to my feelings of disinterest. The ending in particular felt very weak, there was no pay off at the end at all. Great photography, great sound design but uninteresting characters, a muddled narrative, very light on any horror of any kind. I really wanted to love it but the last half an hour lost me completely. There is certainly real talent behind this film in particular behind the lense but it won't be a rewatch for me. 5/10
