Behind You

I can't finish this movie, is terrible bad, a waste of time

This is a good scary movie with a shocking twist. My legs were restless during a lot of scenes!!!

First half was alright. Second half was meh! It is as if the director ran out of idea and tried to drag the movie longer using recycled ideas.

This film HAS to be a joke, right? This is best summarized as an unintentional parody of the genre. Even the first Annabelle movie knew when to stop copying previous films of the same concept, this movie doesn't even try to do that. Every haunted house trope you can possibly think of is found here. Logic is also out the window, the characters are boring, the dialogue is also just laughable, and the acting is uneven at best. Oh, and the film is a fan of never knowing when to end either, which is the most annoying thing about it. Notice how I haven't even mentioned the scares either, because the film's about as scary as a piece of wet cardboard. Just...no.

The writing leaves a lot to be desired. The acting starts strong, then drops in a big way. Half of the movie is incoherent screaming with little explanation while the cuts seem to teleport characters to different rooms haphazardly. This movie abruptly shifts to a parody of itself, and unfortunately shows Andrew Mecham's inexperience.

Starting off with a young girl reading an infamous poem straight from a book and omitting two full lines of said poem is not a good look, but serves to foreshadow the lack of thought put into the film as a whole. This movie seemed to be a conglomeration of every haunted house film I've seen with little to no originality. The dialogue was wearily filled with exposition and the majority of the action/character choices lacked basic logic. This film followed tropes and mimicked other films within the genre to such a degree that it became laughable at certain points.

yeah... this is not spectacular. do not recommend.

My gf and I put this on because the premise sounded interesting. By the halfway mark I stayed awake just to see how this ridiculous movie ended. *Spoilers below* Two girls move into their aunt's house after their mom dies. The younger girl of course has a severe food allergy because every horror movie with children requires them to have some sort of allergy, malady, sickness or quirk to serve as a plot device. Her stuffed animal starts talking to her in a creepy ass voice and tells her to walk down to the basement. She does because that's what a child would do in that situation. The mirror starts writing on itself and says it's her dead mom. She stays and tells the spirit to possess her because that's what a child would do in that situation. Then it becomes clear to the aunt that she's possessed when the girl eats a lot of food at dinner. The aunt traps them and says they have to kill her but the older sister gets all uppity about it. So the ghost kills a few people and the older girl gets the brilliant idea to give her young sister anaphylaxis in order to drive the demon out because science. They make sure to wait as long as possible to inject her epinephrine pen while she shakes and suffocates because suspense. The demon decides it doesn't like the taste of peanut butter and flies away. The end. The child acting was good. The adult acting was goofy and everyone communicated like idiots because it's a horror flick. The movie looked really nice but wasn't scary.

It simply imitated other's work in a way that was vastly inferior. The acting was also pretty bad.

The composition of the shots was very well done, lighting and effects were great. I feel like the acting could have been better, seemed like they were reading off the script. Also, sometimes emotions in scenes didn't seem to match well. Overall, I think this was a great first screen write & production.
