"Within" actually started out quite nice, and it had the potential to be a somewhat good horror movie. It was the creepy moments with stuff happening around the house that was working out quite well. However, it all came to an abrupt halt when the audience was shown what was really happening in the house.

Wow, are you kidding me? That movie went from being quite good and entertaining to becoming a ridiculous heap of a stupid movie in an instant when it was revealed just exactly what was going on.

The story told in "Within" is about a family that has moved to a new house. However, shortly after the have moved in, strange things start to happen in the house.

"Within" had potential to be a great horror movie, if director Phil Claydon had opted to keep it in a supernatural genre. But no, that was not to be.

The acting in the movie was adequate, although it wasn't particularly memorable. But given what people had to work with, they managed to do well enough.

This was a bucket of ice water to the face, because what started out as a great spooky movie quickly took a turn and went into ridiculous-town. There is nothing worthwhile to be had here, so I can't think of a single reason for recommending this movie to anyone.

After an abysmal forage into what turned out to be a waste of time, my rating of "Within" ends of a meager three out of ten stars.

Still don't know what happened to Monty?? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

This really had great potential to be something terrifying, but fell short. It was slowly building and giving a great story until it reached the last 30 minutes of the film. Everything felt quick and rushed, and you had to question if what the family was experiencing was paranormal or not for the first half of the film.

And one final question... Where the did Monty the cat go...

Not a bad movie, needed some direction. Also reminded me of the movie "The Boy". Also what happened to the cat???

I've seen this far too many times, so it took few scenes to realize what is it all about. At a certain point I even got annoyed cause it seemed to keep the plot a mystery, but I managed to stay there and wait for the end.

Glad I did so, cause surprisingly enough, it had something to offer indeed. A better, darker execution, a possible more real situation, of course, not all of it, but I did enjoy it. As movies like this have you root for certain characters, here I was drawn into the family and hoped everything would turn out OK.

Again, my experience in these kind of movies taught me well, so there were no real surprises even tho they did focus on that, but without naming the movies they took the ideas from, or spoiling it, I'm just gonna say that you could watch this and not be completely disappointed. On a scale from 1 to 10 I rated it 5, cause it did some things different. But mostly, the same moves you've seen for a lifetime.

Cheers!
