A Madrasta

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.

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.

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.

Worth a watch. I saw the 4.2 IMBD rating, iI decided to give a go anyway It was well acted, well produced with almost no plot holes so common in mysteries. The atmosphere is ideal, a creepy but beautiful old house with too many rooms and isolated in the country away from neighbors and city. Iwas favorably surprised at 1/3 through and still at 2/3 through. It wasn't a slow burn (like many of the reviews reported), nearly every little scene advanced the plot enough to keep my interest: I wasn't just waiting for the inevitable or bored by innocuous and unimportant scenes. . By 2/3rds though I suspected the twist (which is pro forma for this genre) and with few alternative directions it wasn't too hard to guess and that was a little disappointing. . But we still enjoy the lead beginning to put the pieces together and remain enthralled about her outcome.. If I were to find a reason to mark it lower, it's because it doesn't have a supernatural component like most Horror genre films. But it's still a horror/mystery film. The biggest let down is that the end is too ambiguous. We're pretty sure how it will conclude, but there's some doubt and that's troubling. Cudos to the teen actors, I found them believable and delightfully creepy..

This was the stupidest movie I've ever saw it makes no sense. It doesn't have a point we never see the mother or find out what happened to her. The movie come on like this is going to be good but nope it's horrible and a waste of acting I give --13 stars for this. It was wrote and shot over night!!! We didn't understand the father, the kids, the plot lol nothing made sense in this movie at all. It was t scary what so ever because it was so dam dumb you will try to figure it out and just give up and wish you would have just watched something else. Save your popcorn and hot dog for another movie.
