Behind the Walls

This is a very confusing movie. There are a lot of questions you don't get answers to until the end and still some left open. All the men in this movie have a sleazy vibe to them. The mother seems to maybe have some mental issues and a problem with her youngest son. There are flashbacks, day dreams/hallucinations and you are not sure which is which. Through the whole movie you are left wondering what is going on and start thinking maybe your blue ray skipped a scene. Reminds me a bit of the movie "Mother!"

Their voices are low, have many jumpscares but none of them were effective. No story at all, non-sense.

This movie was absolutely HORRIBLE do not waste your money. The whole plot line was trash and the movie was so choppy and the editing was shit

I was initially lured in to watch the 2018 horror movie "Behind the Walls" because of the interesting cover the movie had, but also because it was a horror movie that I hadn't already seen.

And now that I have seen "Behind the Walls", I must admit that I am sitting here with a sensation of 'what the H... did I just watch?'. This movie, from writers and directors James Kondelik and Jon Kondelik, set out to want to do a lot of things all at once, but ending up delivering not even on a third of those things. You are let with a whole lot of unanswered questions at the end of the movie, and trust me, you'll be wondering what this was all about.

It felt like directors James Kondelik and Jon Kondelik wanted to cram as much shocks and jump scares into the movie as they possibly could, as well as putting as much strangeness into the movie as they possibly could. And believe me, there was a lot of horror elements going on. But it was just too much, and it was all the time. And 99% of the things you get to watch are never brought to fruition, there are no end or satisfying meaning to what you just witness on the screen. So you are left with a lot of unfulfilled things throughout the course of the movie.

The storyline in "Behind the Walls" also feels behind the walls, because there was no head or tails to it, no proper red thread through it all, and it just felt like it was a collection of small scenes and fragments of film captured by directors James Kondelik and Jon Kondelik and then edited together to make a movie.

The acting in the movie was adequate, although you never really get to form any relations to the characters, as everything was just done rushed or halfheartedly. Again, the writers and directors set out to want too much and delivered too little.

Visually, then "Behind the Walls" was definitely interesting and nice. There was a lot of interesting things throughout the course of the movie, and the special effects were good. Just a shame that the storyline was such a heap of scrambled rubbish.

My rating of "Behind the Walls" settles on a four out of ten stars, based mostly upon the visuals and the bombardment of horror elements. If you are looking for a movie with a plausible and coherent storyline, then "Behind the Walls" is not the best choice.

Cobwebs, dust and darkness. Hazy dreams, haunting music. Don't forget the air grilles and 2-way mirrors. Waiting for a plot.
