Behind You

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

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.

Bad.

It's not a good movie.

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

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"

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.
