Conjuro Siniestro

It's not a very original movie, but it has an interesting premise that manages to build tension and keep you hooked until the end. It has elements reminiscent of Insidious or Rosemary's Baby. He goes straight to the point and gives clues through the flashbacks, putting together the story as a puzzle. It can be confusing at times and misses a few loose ends. The edition, the sound and the environment manage to generate a good atmosphere and result in another common horror film that manages to entertain. A good film although not very original, but with a fresh atmosphere. My final rating for this movie is 7/10.

When I sat down to watch the 2022 horror movie "Dead Bride", it was without ever having heard about the movie, so I didn't know what to expect here. But with it being a horror movie, of course my interest was sparked. And thus, I opted to give writer and director Francesco Picone's movie a fair chance.

And now that the movie has ended, I virtually have only a slight clue as to what the storyline was about. This movie was a confusing mess. I literally was left with a sense of 'what was this all about?' as the movie ended. So I can't say that writer and director Francesco Picone really managed to churn out something worthwhile here.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, and that is usually something I enjoy when I sit down to watch a movie. However, I must admit that it was not the case with "Dead Bride", because the acting performances here were fairly wooden and rigid.

The movie ran for 83 minutes, and without really understanding what was going on or why, then it was a very prolonged movie experience. Not a movie that was particularly enjoyable either, mind you.

Visually then you're not in for a particularly outstanding horror experience, as the movie made very little use of special effects. There was some adequate prosthetics and old-fashioned make-up effects, but that was about it.

If you enjoy horror movies, do yourself a favor and find something more entertaining to watch, because "Dead Bride" simply isn't worth the time, money or effort.

My rating of "Dead Bride" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.

No pun intended - there are things that you may not really like about low budget horror movies. One of those things being actors who are not convincing. You may call them other things/names. I have seen worse actors to be honest - but they still are not really helping the movie. The movie does look ok overall - don't expect amazing cinematography though.

The title is a bit of a ... dead giveaway (come, I had to), but there is more to the story than just where this is heading and what we uncover - not just between the sheets but between the lines. And that is more horror related than anything related to love ... of course childhood trauma and other cliches are being used ... and a bit of Exorcist is in here too .. not the greatest comparison one can hope for ...

Wow this movie is truly horrible on every level. The plot is a father commits suicide and the daughter, her "baby" and her boyfriend move into his house for some reason.

The baby looks like she's 18. I'm not kidding in the slightest.

The direction is interminably slow and will put you to sleep.

The script reads like someone wrote a bunch of gibberish, threw the pages in teh air collected them and then said OK here's the script.

The acting is a smiddgen above amateur.

Unfortunetly the movie is just bad. Not funny bad. Just really so bad you will be upset at yourself that you watched this fiasco.

This film is so bad that it's tragic. It was a hot mess, and so bland at the same time. I didn't get to the end, because most of the way in, I still had no idea what was happening. I think it tried to ram too many elements together and hoped it made a story.

I love bad horror as long as they are fun, and interesting. This had nothing like that going for it. There's also random strobing for no good reason. The acting is awful, the lines are just awkward.

I honestly can't think of anything nice to say about this mess. Like I'm too ashamed to add this to my 31 horror films for Halloween list it really was that bad.
