Behind You

Throughout its 86 minutes, it's too easy to tell whenever Behind You has given up at being truly surprising.

Behind You features little that horror film fans haven't seen endless times before. There's nothing wrong with familiar conventions, of course, but the novice writers/directors here fail to enliven them...

There is nothing wrong with this film visually or atmospherically but the story left a lot to be desired.

The characters feel underwhelming and its story proves super predictable.

An arid expanse of plot thirsting for a single droplet of logic and sense.

Compared to other movies about haunted houses, Behind You isn't the worst, but it's not groundbreaking at all. The movie's ending is ultimately what drags the film down to the 'mostly mediocre and forgettable' level.

There are promising nuggets here, especially how they deal with unseen demons near the climax, and the film occasionally pulls off strong, interesting effects. Overall, however, Behind You never capitalizes on what works.

There's a pretty solid spook-a-blast flick tucked away in Behind You, but as it is, the movie has more potential than actual pleasures.

Despite some modest atmosphere and at least one brutal plot swerve, Behind You is an unimaginative slog of a film.

The kind of horror film whose plot depends on its central characters being remarkably uninformed.
