L'emprise

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..

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.

I had no idea what I was in for here when I sat down to watch the 2021 horror mystery from writer and director Sebastian Godwin. But it being a horror movie, of course, that I hadn't already seen, then I had to sit down and watch it. Of course I did.

Well, I can honestly say that "Homebound" provided me with no entertainment. The storyline told in the movie, as written by Sebastian Godwin, was just not within the scopes of my liking. So it was a very tedious and difficult movie to sit through, especially when taking no enjoyment from the viewing.

There was nothing scary about "Homebound", well aside from how boring the movie was. So for a horror movie, then "Homebound" was a swing and a miss. Sure, if you are entirely new to the horror genre, then I suppose there might be something scary about "Homebound". But for a seasoned horror veteran, then director Sebastian Godwin just simply didn't rise to the task at hand.

The acting performances in the movie were bland. But I believe this to be because that the actors and actresses had so very little to work with in terms of a properly functioning script, and also having to portray one-dimensional characters just didn't help to make the performers shine.

If you enjoy a good horror movie, then "Homebound" is not the best of choices. I wouldn't recommend you wasting your time, money or effort on this movie.

My rating of "Homebound" lands on a two out of ten stars.

Why Is This Horror? Thriller Is More Like It, Mmm, It's Not That Bad But Really, You Shouldn't Expect Much And There's a Young Actress In The Film Named "Hattie Gotobed" Well This Movie Should Have Went To Bed And Stayed In Bed And Never Ever Get Up Out Of Bed Again, Nawl, Really Mediocre From Start To Finish!

I haven't seen a good British horror movie in a long time. Maybe since Shawn of the Dead? Well, unfortunately this is not one either. Its slow... but its at least watchable for a British horror... I guess.

There is not much horror or tension. The acting is ok at best. And the ending sucks.

3/10 Slow British "horror"
