Homebound

Why even make this senseless movie? It had no plot, no point, dry, stale acting and bored me. I thought I may have missed something but reading the other reviews, I'm not alone.

This was the dullest movie I have ever seen. The father was strange, the wife was an idiot and the children annoyed me. They all got on my nerves but the eldest girl the most. I honestly don't even see the creativity in this movie. Sometimes, it can be cleverly subliminal. I live in the States and I always enjoy UK films but this was a HUGE no for me. I didn't get the premise or direction. There is an extreme lack of depth.

Yes, it starts off as a normal movie, then slowly migrates into being a little creepy and mysterious, but soon enough it then turns into something totally unrealistic and illogical. And the rabbit hole just goes deeper and deeper until the very end. A good idea, poor execution (without going into any details).

Started mildly interesting and went downhill from there. I love a slow urn character study horror but this had no real story, no character growth, nothing happened and the. It ends with no resolution or explanation.

I strongly feel someone had a great idea but insufficient writing skill to turn it into a cohesive story' as this was just worthless.

I had no idea what I was in for here when I sat down to watch the 2021 horror mystery from writer and director Sebastian Godwin. But it being a horror movie, of course, that I hadn't already seen, then I had to sit down and watch it. Of course I did.

Well, I can honestly say that "Homebound" provided me with no entertainment. The storyline told in the movie, as written by Sebastian Godwin, was just not within the scopes of my liking. So it was a very tedious and difficult movie to sit through, especially when taking no enjoyment from the viewing.

There was nothing scary about "Homebound", well aside from how boring the movie was. So for a horror movie, then "Homebound" was a swing and a miss. Sure, if you are entirely new to the horror genre, then I suppose there might be something scary about "Homebound". But for a seasoned horror veteran, then director Sebastian Godwin just simply didn't rise to the task at hand.

The acting performances in the movie were bland. But I believe this to be because that the actors and actresses had so very little to work with in terms of a properly functioning script, and also having to portray one-dimensional characters just didn't help to make the performers shine.

If you enjoy a good horror movie, then "Homebound" is not the best of choices. I wouldn't recommend you wasting your time, money or effort on this movie.

My rating of "Homebound" lands on a two out of ten stars.

This film is a snore fest. I wasted 1 hour and 10 minutes that I could have spent watching something better. A slow burn that builds up to absolutely nothing eventful. I didn't just not like it. I really hated it. It feels like I've been rickrolled.
