Things Heard & Seen

Según mi opinión, los autores de esta película no fueron capaces de elegir qué querían filmar, es decir, el género. Y según eso, se ve el resultado. Me hago la pregunta: ¿vi una película de terror? ¿Una película de fantasmas clásica o más bien una fantasía atípica? ¿O un thriller psicológico sobre el colapso del matrimonio? ¿O un thriller con tintes misteriosos? En última instancia, el film no funciona ni como una cosa ni como la otra. Decepción y desilusión, apenas tres estrellas. (13.06.2021)

It feels like it’s going to be a classic horror story - the family moves into a house where "something" happened and they are not alone. But in fact, it's a lot more than that. The atmosphere gradually thickens, it turns out that few things are really what you thought they were ten minutes ago, and who knows, in the end, maybe the supernatural will be the last thing you should be afraid of. Amanda Seyfried is perfect. (01.05.2021)

Today's Netflix new "horror" release with the beautiful Amanda Seyfried is unfortunately too dull for horror and insufficiently tense for a drama. It's not a completely bad film, it's relatively well-made (but that's already a guarantee for every new Netflix film, so I don't see it as a positive). The problem is mostly the two-hour runtime and the fact that not much interesting happens most of the time. It's not very suspenseful or entertaining, it's not scary at all, and something interesting starts happening only in the final twenty minutes, though again, nothing extraordinary. The film reminded me a bit of The Amityville Horror, but it's not ambitious enough or audience friendly. But I guess it could appeal to some girls, so they can easily add a star and a half, the rest of the viewers won't miss out on anything. If there weren't so many slow and horror dramas coming out this year, I might have leaned towards giving it three stars, but I'm already fed up with them, so I'll be more uncompromising. 4/10.
