The Manor is another Blumhouse/Amazon team-up. These are not always a waving flag of greatness, but they sometimes have something going on. Though one also assumes if that greatness flag was waving atop a flagpole, it’d go theatrical. To torture … Continue reading
There’s a palpable negative mood oozing out of every poor of every frame of this film. Seemingly innocuous conversations are accompanied by a spine-shiver of a musical score to the point that it could make placing a toaster strudel in … Continue reading
There’s a certain tension that does manage to creep its way through this film… and that’s about the best I can say for it. It’s generally a kind of slow, rather confusing film that I’m not convinced has any deeper … Continue reading
