Canción de cuna

I didn't notice a lot of the bad effects people complained about, because I kept skipping forward through the first 14 minutes of the film which are dedicated to a baby crying. 14 full minutes. There's a break after that, but plenty more baby crying to come, with parrot squawks to complement.

I know horror films always lean on the jump scare crutch but there's some really goofy moments - like for some reason the baby monitor makes a sound when there is silent movement!?

The 2D mother character is cringy. The 'honest reaction' scene will remind you of any dishonest woman you've worked with more than anyone you would date, so it seems forced

Overall they did try with the plot here, more than most modern films, but it remains unwatchable due to the constant baby crying (another crutch in 2022 films, weirdly). It adds nothing to the film.

Lullaby is above average with its acting, horror, and story. It is about a new parenthood couple raising a baby by themselves and realizing the difficulties of what it can go through. Until one day, Rachel (Mom/Main Protagonist) reads an lullaby from an unknown book to her baby so he can finally go to sleep the night they will never forget. Until that night, the new parents are receiving hallucinations, nightmares, and interactions of a demon named Lilith that takes all newborn babies with her and raises them by herself. Overall, the acting seemed pretty average and it was not that scary until the end of the film. The film is a bit slow, but the buildup is worth it along the way. Also, I did not like the ending to Lullaby. Would recommend it to watch it on either streaming services, DVD, or Blu-Ray because it felt like an above average horror flick.

I ended up enjoying this one more than the reviews led me to believe I would. It was generally entertaining with a decent pace that kept me engaged.

I would say my biggest problem with it was that the movie as a whole almost felt like a PG-13 version of what I wanted it to be. It kind of felt like just a step above a made for TV movie. While it had a spooky story, some creepy moment and some cool effect/scenes, it just didn't go that extra step that could have made it genuinely scary and in my eyes all around more successful.

I think the most successful parts about this were the story and the acting. The story, at its foundation, while not super original was intriguing and I saw a lot of potential for something really cool. They didn't do a bad job by any means, like I said, it was just a little disappointing they didn't amp up the horror a bit.

I also thought the acting was quite good. Supporting characters were passable, but the mom and dad did a really good job and really sold it. I don't think that it would have been what it ended up being without them.

Overall I think the other reviews are a little harsh. This was a good movie. Nothing to run over to your streaming service and watch immediately, but still worth a watch. Would recommend.

This movie was actually kinda scary, at the start... the story started out very good and explained the most important things you needed to understand.

But somehow the whole movie, the acting, the pace and like everything just became worse.

I'm not saying the movie is bad or unwatchable, but if you think about the fact that this movie is from the same man that made Annabelle, then you realise this movie is really not as good as Annabelle.

If you like horror movies about children being haunted, or demonic entities, then you might like this movie a bit... the thing is the acting and also story is kind of shallow. I myself doesn't really care if it's shallow, but for this movie, it really could have been better and scarier if there was more thought put into it.

So like I said, it is worth watching... but just because it's from the same man that made Annabelle, please don't expect the same level of horror!

I won't go so harsh on it, because it felt good overall. Indeed, nothing original, but the execution was quite alright for a horror movie, the makers of it knew what this genre is suppose to look like, thus it was an honest effort.

It definitely has some Conjuring/Insidious vibes to it, but still feels like its own creation. So without spoiling too much, I'm going to go into this quite on point:

• acting was good. People took their job seriously and no one went overboard.

• special effects look medium towards good. Definitely some room for improvement on CGI, but I guess it could have been worse too.

• the plot is good, considering how hard is to make something completely fresh today using this story alone, I think it came with a more complex script.

• no gore, no nudity, not even jump scares.

So all in all, I think it could have been a little better, with some tension attached to it, but this is all that it had to offer. 5/10 stars for a decent work that seemed just a tad lazy every now and then.
