La maldición del diablo

I loved Grave Encounters, so when I saw this movie is from the same creators/producers I immediately wanted to watch it. The first act was kind of slow yet intriguing but the actress playing the mother is incredibly annoying and I was rooting for the father who really looks like Christian Bale. There are dumb moments especially with the baby and his cot. After all the drama why was the baby still left alone in his room? Naturally you would put your baby in your room if there's any signs of danger. But nope baby was alone despite all the facts presented. There were other odd moments that didn't make any sense or added no action to the plot. The acting was good though and quite believable. The villian had little screening time which was another negative point to add. Overall, a very forgettable movie that could've been executed much better.

Disappointed.

Hey, you! Do you like corny, lazy, hackneyed tropes? If so, step right this way!

The film starts out fairly well and builds slowly but quickly nosedives into a crescendo of awful horror cliches and jump scares.

One positive: Michael Ironside is in it... but, even then, that's just a glorified cameo.

Let's put it like this, the beginning of Still/Born was promising but the second part of the movie was just a letdown. In the end it's just an average soft horror movie. They could clearly have done something much creepier and scarier with all those ingredients. The creepy parts were not bad but there were just not enough of them to make this a horror movie to remember. The cast was just about okay I guess. I'm not a big fan of some parts of the acting from Christie Burke. It didn't look real at some points. The story wasn't bad, at least for the beginning, but towards the end I was losing my interest. It's one of those horror movies where you look at the cover and you think it's going to be great but then you end up disappointed.

I went into this movie with low expectations, and it surprised me. Has a few scares that actually gave me goosebumps. The story keeps you guessing. A must watch for a horror fan

The film itself starts off really good. You're unsure which turn the film will take as you keep watching. Which is good. But then it sort of disappears in the middle. Nothing much happens and it drags on and on really pointlessly with little or no plot to carry it and don't get me started on the ending. There's no resolution or satisfaction with the ending at all. I have given it a five however as the acting is good, visually it's really good with some good moments in it and it's not hammy at all but has a real good atmosphere. It just felt like it was lacking something still to be born.
