Nothing much to say really, it's not great & it's not god awful, the story is a bit lame & has been done before way better, but it definitely has a bit of creepy factor, the production values are pretty good considering it was obviously low budget, the acting was above par from a cast that i had never personally heard of, although 1 or 2 faces looked familiar, so all in all not a complete waste of my time, i definitely won't be watching it again though, 5/10

Well for a horror movie released in 2020, "Behind You" feels more like something from the 1990s, for better or worse - depending on your particular preference of horror movie of course.

I hadn't heard about this movie prior to getting a chance to watch it. And it being a horror movie was essentially enough to catch my attention. So I sat down to watch it with zero expectations.

"Behind You" proved to be adequately entertaining. Granted, it wasn't an outstanding or particularly memorable horror movie, nor was it a movie that I will be watching a second time around. But it turned out to be adequately entertaining for what it turned out to be.

In terms of scares and thrills, then "Behind You" was lacking majorly in this department, especially for a seasoned horror veteran such as myself. Sure, I believe that newcomers to the horror genre might find this movie to have scenes that are scary. But for me, it was just a bit too generic and seen in other movies already.

The acting in the movie was good, and that was actually the movie's strongest selling point.

I am rating "Behind You" a mediocre five out of ten stars.

The cinematography was okay, but the writing wasn't at all. When the plot is rice paper thin and yet the characters feel compelled to explain the plot in the movie to ad nauseam, you know this film is in trouble.

My advice, leave this film "behind you"

Bad.

It's not a good movie.

A good friend wouldn't let you watch this movie.

I am fan of the horror movies, however this movie is just not up to expectations of the story. More or less boring and no development of story at all.

This movie was selected from a long list of possibilities in a search for a good old fashioned scary ghost story. I am a huge horror fan, and I watch movies a lot. So I consider myself a good judge of the genre This movie made a ton of promises, with very little payout. You get set up for the usual spooky secrets in the haunted house/ basement bit, complete with children to scare witless, and seemingly disgruntled relatives. So lets dig in........and waiting..........and waiting..........Other than a slow passing of character exposition, where we get reminded that there are dark secrets in this house, the bulk of the movie goes by with very little actual supernatural events. Then just before you decide you really have wasted your night on a boring movie, it explodes into a non-stop horror roller coaster. 90% of the action takes place in the last 10% of the movie. The rest of the movie felt juvenile and cheesy. Just too little too late for me.

I can never rate these types of movies on the same scale as I would a movie with a larger budget and known actors but I can rate it on the lower budget movie scale where this one would fit as a solid 6. The story is good, the acting is decent and the horror aspect offers some scares and is creepy enough.

I was actually surprised because I didn't expect the film to be a watchable horror film let alone a decent story. I did feel like it went on longer than it should have. No need for a "twist" or "surprise ending" with these types of films. Just keep it straight and cut it with a happy ending (or a sad one).

I don't have many complaints about the movie I did enjoy it for what it was. A Sunday evening type of horror movie. Lights on the violence,gore, and profanity but entertaining enough to still be a horror movie.

I liked it... I'll probably forget that I watched it though. If I could compare the film to something... I'd say it's like a good frozen pizza. You know you'd rather have a pie fresh out a real parlor but that frozen pizza is convenient when you're hungry and it's too late to pick up anything. That is this movie. It's a convenient little horror film that does it's job of entertaining you for the duration of its run time. You don't anticipate it to be an amazing experience but it is at least a good one that is filling.

When it comes to horror films there can only be so much originality so I don't get why people complain about that when there's really only four plots. That being possession/excorcism, slasher, psychological, or haunted house. This is a fine haunted house flick and certainly has its moments. Not bad for a low budget Hulu horror movie.

The performances were all great, and the bond between the sisters was believable. The cinematography and music were also very good.

The problem a lot of people seem to have is with the pacing, which I honestly found fine. I like that it took its time and let things unfold naturally. As for its scariness, it was fairly scary. It WAS a bit too reliant on jump scares, but it wasn't as much so as, say, It Chapter 2 was.

The character arc of Charles was the one I found the most engaging, even if I disagree with his arc's conclusion and found it to be a bit harsh.

But the girl who played Olivia was especially great. You really felt her frustration at everything that was going on around her.

The acting wasn't the worst, for a low budget movie it was ok. There were numerous times you found yourself saying 'really, now who would do that?' It's one of those movies that the characters actions were so stupid that you just felt angered from the stupidity. The writing could have been better, or at least believable of what people would do in the same situation.

I've seen better acting out of a week old tuna salad sandwich.

Just not scary, too long and boring. Disappointing movie.

Same overburnt spirit storyline, dreadful acting, not scary, boring to watching even with one eye. Save your precious time.

Not very good, save your time & watch something else!

Awful acting. Worse writing. Absolute waste of time.

Not horrible, just predictable. Sick of the traditional horror movie making methods with the jump scares & predictability but also the wanna be realistic tries too. We honestly need a fresh new method to making scary movies & none has done that in year &/or if ever honestly.

I personally love horror movies. Always have. Ive seen good ones and bad ones as well as horrible ones. This isn't the best movie I've ever seen, but its very very far from the worst. Its nice to characters in a horror movie with a story, character development, and to be honest, some humanity in the characters. For me, a good horror movie delivers more than just gore and jump scares. Id watch this one again.

Don't let the bad reviews fool you. This movie impressed me and I wasn't expecting much to start with. Interesting story, some good acting moments, great atmosphere and story twists. In the line of conjuring, although more "amateurish", it is a very well built story, that will keep you interested until the end. I was satisfied, giving a 7 to up the ratings, worth a 6. Could be much better, but is very good already, with there were more efforts like this nowadays, in a sea of bad movies out there.

Halfway through the movie feels way to long. The only believe acting for me is the older caretaker. The two girls in my opinion were the worst. The younger sister was a better actor than the older for me.

Usually I don't leave reviews, but this was irritating for me. Even Polaroid had better acting. At least they looked afraid. This movie all they do is scream. The actors don't even look dedicated to at least being afraid. The high reviews feel like people who are just trying to find a positive and stand out from the negative reviews, when the general consensus is that the movie isn't good.

Gave two stars because at least some of the cinematography was good.

In my view Watching this movie was a waste of time. i don't recommend it.

Behind you is a very bad film but what horror this days it isnt,i also found this film to be completly boring and just unscary in any way possible,characters were so forgettable and so hard to care for that i rooted that they die since that would give film more staff to do and better and faster moving plot,horrors like this one are ones of my most hated and most annoying genres out there for me,and i guess for many others to,behind you is just that what we all know what it will be,it is full of weak acting,a lot of unscary moments and plot that bored me and almost put me on sleep,behind you was a very bad movie and even worser horror that will be forgotten in a few minutes
