Some nice settings and visuals (manor house, old cemetary, Italian landscape) and a decent production make this one an okay movie - if your are interested in haunted house and evil spirit stories. The weak side of Cruel Peter is the story - more or less your typical story without any great surprises. Anyway, for the decent production and the good actors I rate this one a well deserved 5. Recommended for the hardcore lover of the genre who is in great need for a little snack.

There's a lot of potential here with this movie it's got sort of a unique take on the bad child theme it's a combination of the exorcist the omen and a couple other films that deal with similar but it's quite hard to tell what the heck is going on since everything is so dark there are times when there's action happening on the screen and the screen appears to be completely black if this was intentional it was a poor choice it's just so darn I see anything that it's hard to get too involved in it

A film that starts of well, with a fairly long period before things start happening, but then it just goes off the rails. It's as if the scriptwriter wanted to be lazy and use all the regular horror tropes, but then tried to make it appear different.

The result is a mish-mash of things, and the ending just makes no sense.

There is too much reliance on characters doing or saying things, that no normal person in the situation would do or say, in order to set up events. This always strikes me as lazy story-telling.

I'm giving it 5 for being reasonably well-acted and for at least trying to make use of the locations and sets.

The film is too dark. Not thematically, not figuratively, but literally *visually* too dark. Everything is too dark. It is so dark that it should be called 'Dark Peter.' The nighttime scenes are too dark; the daylight is too dark; interior and exterior shots alike are equally sodden with a filter of synthetic dusk-like gloom.

Perhaps the grader deliberately made it so dark to hide the plodding story, or the lugubrious tone, or the somnambulant editing. It was nice to see characters using BSL - a shame their doing so was obscured by a permanent shroud of (presumably) unintentional murk.

If you like looking at the world thru tights, or sunglasses at night, or a tea-hued gauze, you might enjoy this. But, even then...

I would have liked to talk about the plot more but the screen is almost completely black most of the time. It's barely watchable.

I love the idea behind the plot, the characters were interesting and the Italian setting was refreshing, but It was literally impossible to discern what was happening on screen most of the times.

In an attempt to create the perfect horror film mood, the movie was left too dark and almost hard to watch. There were scenes one saw nothing but just heard the dialogue. The story could have been better written especially since it was connected to a real life event. A lot of unanswered questions and inconclusive end to some of the characters.

Definitely a slow burn that picks up about an hour in. A possession horror that has sort of a family vibe especially the acting a lot creepier but along the lines of a lifetime movie. But as I said once "Cruel Peter" settles down and that softness dissipates and it really gets kinda creepy. It's sort of by the numbers though albeit a good storyline but heavily stamped with predictability. The special effects are pretty good, not great but between talking and walking rotting corpses, climbing on walls and demons voicing their dismay it should be enough satisfy the hunger for the average horror fan. I should note though that the film also suffers from some iso camera issues too many scenes were a bit too dark to fully enjoy but the effort is widely acceptable. I would recommend this film for mild horror lovers I'm more of a "Hereditary" "Midsommer" or "The Witch" fan so it didn't pierce my fear meter at all but for my mom or a kid under 15 it might be enough to make them reach for the lights.

Cruel Peter is a very flawed film that probably had some potential.

Its upsides are the production quality (except the CGI), music, and a couple of creative scenes.

Everything else is either underdeveloped for reasons unknown or suggests a kind of indifferent attitude towards the film.

For example, the film ignores important details and small things, which, by the way, are the building blocks of a good story. Like accents, looks, and at least, in some sense, some historical background.

The film is also overloaded with scenes that don't contribute to anything, some of these are 2-3 seconds long, and nobody says a word.

The acting wasn't so good either. Probably result in the direction. Richard Armitage-looking lead was constantly overacting, while his daughter mostly looked confused. Good effort by the Italian cast though, I wish the film had more of them.

While the visual style was interesting and added some flavor, for about 80% of the film, you can't even see it too much. The film is very, very dark. You can barely see anything at times. Half of the time, I wasn't even sure if it's day or night in a particular scene.

Overall, if the story was more creative and actually could get me hooked, I could turn a blind eye to the above problems. But in its current state, it just doesn't work.

The sets and mood of this film alone are worth the watch. Its not for everyone , especially if you are looking for blood and guts mindless slasher tripe. This a very dark, brooding, slow burn horror that builds slowly and delivers without jump scares and other cheap tricks of the so-called ' horror' of today. This excellent film recalls more cerebral older films like 'The Haunting' (1963) or 'The legend of Hell House' (1973). Very Good Mood building photography ,Very Creepy wonderful sets , Adequate actors - One to watch jn the dark.

When I wrote this review the score for Cruel Peter was 4.8 on IMDb. In my opinion that's a bit harsh. It deserves a higher rating. The production is more than decent, with some good cinematography, dark but clear images which gave it a dark ambiance. The acting could have been better from some of the actors but overal it wasn't bad. The story is a possession story so something we've all seen before but still it's entertaining. There are some creepy moments, but nothing terrific. Overal Cruel Peter is worth a watch if you're into that kind of movies.

Dude you and your daughter are seeing dead people and your daughter is finally overtaken by a evil entity, an old lady is about to save her and your dumbass stops it from it happening? The writing is always on the wall with these films and stupid ass decisions are always made by the parents of their possessed children. I'm so tired of lthis lame ass story telling. A very predictable and very forgettable film. Another dumbass father trying to save his daughter so called horror film.....next.

This is a very bad movie. There is no horror in it and it was boring. The movie was filmed in the dark 3/4 of the time, so you can't see anything. It was not scary at all, it was just crap.

Lousy writers and directors with poor timing demonstrated by substandard actors.

Boring. Boring boring boring ... oh wait something is happening... boring boring ... oh this is kinda dumb... wow Biancas hair looks amazing.... boring boring ... wait what ? Huh ? Omg is this over yet? And done Wow

It's a slow burn but it gets inside your head. Moody settings. Good timing too. Lots of flashbacks and reverse storylines that pops out just when you're about to scratch your head and wonder why or what.

I am disappointed by this movie, has almost nothing to do with it's title. Not explained. Not clear. Not realistic. Although there are definitely movies with worst actors, stories, and effects, the fact that effects are not looking so real or convincing us into believing in anything, this one is not better anything. No connections, reasons, causes, purpose. Actors except looking somewhat hot and real, are not good either. But I think the worst is the story. I think if story was better, actors could show their skills, and looks more interesting and realistic. I did not watch worse movie or horror in 2020 so far, but did few released earlier. Not recommended to watch. Waste of time. Negative, boring and sick.

Beautifully done horror movie! Has a nice story line that is meaningful unlike the useless horror movies that come out these days. It kept us on edge and is a great example of a meaningful horrr movie. I hope they make a part 2!

Movie took a while to get into mostly because it was so dark it was quite hard to make out at points. When it finally got going the story was good

Honestly. It made no sense, the acting-particularly the actor's who played the dad-was not even worthy of small town community theater. I kept checking to see how many minutes were left. Just....don't.

While some of the visuals are nice the story is just alright. It isn't too different from any other haunting movie. It gets a 3 because I have definitely seen way worse. It's a one time watch movies.
