See more Brian M 10/06/2024 Pretty creepy gothic story that can get a little heavy-handed with uncanny elements, which vary from effective and trippy to outlandish. The mystery is pretty well done for the most part and is complemented by appropriately gothic settings and a really moody score. Towards the end it seems as though the movie doesn’t really know what it’s trying to say or how to say it—you can only ask the audience to infer so much from a series of dissolves. Nonetheless, the final scene is cool and chilling. Not too shabby, overall! See more 05/17/2021 Once upon a time it was the grubby fingered vulgarians in Hollywood that reliably vomited up anti-Catholic crap, but it seems the Irish have now taken over. Writer/Director Michael Tully proves himself a poor Colm Tóibín wannabe with this pathetic potshot against the Virgin Mary. Achingly slow, exceedingly dull and filled with obvious ripoffs of much better movies (Hereditary made miniature dioramas terrifying, here they are simply silly) Don't Leave Home should have been called Don't Even Bother. See more 10/20/2020 I don’t even know where to begin with this. This is truly one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. It doesn’t make sense and the acting is AWFUL. This contains about the worst acting I’ve ever seen. It’s not scary at all, and I can’t tell you what even happened. The movie poster is very misleading, and whoever was in charge with the music score needs a lot of work. The music is very amateurish and obnoxious See more 10/12/2020 Brilliant setup and 2/3 of the way through it gets really interesting. Then, it falls flat on its face. Fun enough I guess but hardly recommended. See more 03/24/2020 This is really an intriguing little horror gem. It centers on an artist from America who creates a series of sculptures based on famous missing person cases. One of them spotlights a priest whom painted a portrait of a young girl who ended up disappearing both from her home and the picture. The priest contracts her with the promise to buy her piece inspired by him, commission a new work and have all her pieces sold to wealthy investors at a private auction. Upon arriving strange things begin to happen including strange dreams and weird happenings that lead her to believe the offer isn't genuine and something more sinister is afoot. It all leads up to a shocking and unexpected conclusion. It's definitely a religious horror film but plays like a strange Lynchian thriller. It's not perfect the pacing is a struggle at times but it has an engaging, dread induced atmosphere that feels otherworldly at times. 3.5/5 See more Read all reviews
