The Front Room

Felt tricked by the trailer it was not really a horror movie at all. The movie was mostly about a mother in law that goes to the bathroom on herself & smeares it everywhere not joking around. This film was overall disgusting. Half of it was the mother-in-law character defecating herself. This was more unintentionally funny than anything else. This movie as a whole is a no rating This is possibly one of the lack of enjoyment. The old step-mother's role is so annoying with her voice and the things she does. The movie just made no sense to me. I wanted to leave, but I ordered food with the movie so I figured I might as well get my monies worth. I will never recommend this movie to anyone, not even an enemy. If you come across my comment, do NOT go see this.

Imagine a friend asking you to explain this film..

"So, an old woman moves in with her in laws. She annoys them by blowing a whistle and speaking in tongues whilst defacating on herself, a lot. The end"

This wasn't horror/thriller, it was a bad comedy with a gollum looking pensioner annoying her pregnant daughter in law for an hour.

I only gave this time due to seeing a24 being mentioned, some of the greatest horror/thrillers of recent times have came with that stamp of approval. I have no idea how this was categorised as a horror movie & it was as thrilling as vegan food.

Avoid at all costs, dont be catfished by the trailers.

The trailer for this film is misleading. The movie is very unserious, but it knows it and it leans into it. The Front Room has a very simple plot, simple dialogue, and no gore. But what it does have in abundance is a sense of humor. Thanks to a great performance by Kathryn Hunter as the elderly mother, this movie is just downright entertaining at the end of the day. You realize about 10 minutes in that it's not going to reinvent the wheel; the writing is not going to be exceptionally clever. But in spite of all that the audience in my theater couldn't stop laughing throughout. So if you're in the mood for some dark humor and camp, it's definitely worth a look. 6.5/10.

This movie was just about grossing you out and making fun of incontinence. Nothing scary at all except for a lot of faeces. Predominantly one location movies have trouble keeping the viewer entertained and this one was a stinker. Pun intended! Brandy can find a better script to be a part of. Wouldn't mind seeing more of her on screen but c'mon folks you can do better. Tired script. No horror. Nothing even to be entertained about. So what, your mother-in-law moves in and is has old views and a bit racist. Surprise surprise. If you grew up in the 40's and 50's your viewpoint on popular topics today are not going to align.

There has to be a better way to introduce a campy thriller without pretending to be serious. I think from the beginning if I knew it was slapstick horror, I may have been able to digest it as it was. After too many scenes featuring feces, urine, and farting one has to wonder why a treasure such a Brandy thought this is the role to sink her teeth into. If it were a serious horror, I would understand. But for what this is, it's for some one of a C-Level of celebrity. The actress that played the stepmother was very entertaining considering the brand of story telling. The premise of the old trope of the evil stepmother seemed very promising and relatable and unfortunately a ball was dropped.
