Had potential
This started off OK, a sort of Slasher film with a twist with the killer forcing victims to choose who to kill or be attacked. With a detective element to it as well. Katheryn Winnick of Vikings stars as a journalism student tracking the killer along with her dad as the local sheriff in a small town.
Just a shame it didn't reach its potential, not a particularly scary film. Seems to be stuck between genres without choosing which direction to go in. The second half of the film unravels without much drama to a rather tame ending. OK if you want a short film to pass the time.

The Lodgers- is anethor haunted house horror film. Thats really all this movie it. It does though have good scary, a good plot, good horor. But its downfall lies within that its slow and takes it time.

The plot: A family curse confines orphaned twins Rachel and Edwards to their home, in punishment for their ancestors' sins. Bound to the rules of a haunting childhood lullaby, the twins must never let any outsiders inside the house, must be in their rooms by the chime of midnight, and must never be separated from one another. Breaking any of these rules will incur the wrath of a sinister presence that inhabits the house after midnight.

Its okay.

For me, this was a film that could have been great. I remember hearing stories of the slender man when I was a kid and being truly scared so I was eagerly anticipating this release.
Sadly after watching it however, I can say that it failed at every turn. Although the actors were good, the general plot and production lacked. The story slowed in the middle and I found myself dwindling in interest and concentration. Predictable jump scares along with scenes that I believe we're supposed to be scary but just ended up messed up and mildly disturbing.
Overall a watchable film but I feel this would be more suited to a wider audience than avid horror fans.

I found this addition to the franchise less scary than the previous movies, yes it has all the key things you get in today’s shockers, the figure running quickly across the screen in the background, shadowy figures, loud noises after moments of silence and of course those creepy sounds that bounce around all the speakers to make you feel at ease. But I’m not sure if it is down to me seeing so many horror films and knowing what’s coming that I don’t seem to jump as much as I used to, although many of the jumpy scenes that do you the good old tricks may work on those that are very nervy when watching horrors.

It’s been a long time coming and it seems like forever since we were teased with the new incarnation of the classic horror Candyman, this sequel of sorts stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Teyonah Parris, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett and Colman Domingo, directed by Nia DaCosta and a screenplay by Jordan Peele, Win Rosenfeld and Nia DaCosta.

Worth checking out if you are a fan of the 1992 original movie, it’s great to see it using the mythology from the first film and to make use of the characters that we came to know back then. Not as scary as I had hoped, but still a good movie to check out.
