Non spoiler review: First thank you Harrow House. It appears to be a horror movie that has a very tight budget. So I was intrigued from the beginning to the end. If you expect the highest presentation this movie ain't it.

I love human behavior. I love to study people. Why would this girl/woman who appeared to be intelligent go with a complete stranger to a house 3 hours away?

She was not the least prepared to work with a dementia patient. The job paid a lot so why would they hire someone who was unsure of her ability to do the work?

There are many questions that need to be answered to make this cohesive. They have been covered in the comment section. The charming home had a "Weird" Vibe as did the old woman and Charles. The music added to the intrigue and I really wanted to know what they were up to?

I would recommend this movie to those who can look past the lower end of the spectrum films. I appreciate that not all films are Oscar bound I couldn't wait until the ending came so that I could determine what was going on. It was worth the wait, but this movie isn't for everyone. To me it wasn't as much a horror film, but a suspenseful one.

There is little to no consistency in the character's makeup between scenes. That's just one of my pet peeves. The main character misses so many red flags that it is absolutely absurd, and you just want to slap her across the face. Then the character of the Alzheimer's riddled Mother, just does not ring true at all. Her Alzheimer's behaviors do not come and go, in an organic way. She usually comes off as a nasty hateful person who has her witts about her, completely. There is literally only one scene where the patient has a fleeting moment of Dementia, then you never see it again. And it's not all due to the supposed effects of what is happening in the storyline. It appears to be bad story telling and bad editing. The story has so many gaping holes in the plot, that I don't understand how it got past an underwriter's desk.

Unoriginal, predictable, insipid, and worst of all, the acting is abysmal. Wish I could reclaim the time I spent on this garbage fire of a movie. I stuck with it, thinking, "No movie in 2023 could be this awful." Nope - I was wrong. This one is just terrible. PLEASE don't waste your time on this one. At best, it is a well-worn plot that could have been told in a 3-minute short. You find yourself hoping that the protagonist will be swallowed up by an earthbound hell-worm - anything to make the film end. I couldn't possibly spoil anything here, since, by reading the title of the movie, you already know exactly what is going to happen. Going to find my thesaurus to find more synonyms for "horrible" now . . .

The movie gets a 3/10 only because of the premise which I like and the acting of Veronica, that's all it gets. There's many issues with this movie, and I'll cut it some slack as you know the budget wasn't great for this, however, this doesn't mean I'll disregard every problem that it has.

My worst complaint here is the audio mixing, it's terrible! I haven't seen a movie with such bad audio in a lot of time. 90s movies had better audio balancing than this! A character could speak from anywhere from the camera and they would be heard the same, be it next to it or far away, it all sounds the same.

The pacing was also a nightmare. I consider myself a patient person and even I had to skip through minutes of nothing throughout the movie. There's a chance that skipping 15 minutes ahead won't make you miss anything, and this doesn't mean anything good with any movie, even more so when the runtime is on the shorter side for this decade.

Overall, a disappointment with a lot more downs than ups, 3/10, would not recommend.

Holy Smokes , where do I begin on the stupidity of this movie ? First of all Miss gray has to be the stupidest woman I've ever met in my life she has so many chances leave but she just keeps on staying. The whole movie just makes no sense at all the acting is horrendous the old lady you just hate her so bad you just want this movie to end but it keeps going on and on and Miss gray keeps staying there talk about a horrible job this should never been made and what's with the pancake makeup all over that old lady just a horrendous movie avoid at all costs and you will thank me later wow talk about horrible.
