Cobwebs, dust and darkness. Hazy dreams, haunting music. Don't forget the air grilles and 2-way mirrors. Waiting for a plot.

This is a very confusing movie. There are a lot of questions you don't get answers to until the end and still some left open. All the men in this movie have a sleazy vibe to them. The mother seems to maybe have some mental issues and a problem with her youngest son. There are flashbacks, day dreams/hallucinations and you are not sure which is which. Through the whole movie you are left wondering what is going on and start thinking maybe your blue ray skipped a scene. Reminds me a bit of the movie "Mother!"

A shockingly self indulgent romp into the realms of 'horror'. With its hammed up acting, non-sensical story line and a generally poor plot, it's quite remarkable that this film ever made it off the cutting room floor.

Its' writers should hang their heads in shame. The acting, though not terrible, (considering what poor material the actors had to go on), is cut into non sequential segments, and it frequently seems as if the film has been produced by two heads - neither of which knows what the other is doing.

And so a premise, a story in waiting, misses countless opportunities to really explore what could have been a potentially fascinating plot.

The sound and volume of the actor's voices is so low that if your neighbour in the cinema ruffles his popcorn, you've lost an entire script segment.

The first hour is filled with some suspense but met with little consequence and sadly drags the final 30 minutes into a farce, even producing lauhter where the audience should have been on the edge of their seats.

If you want to lose 90 minutes of your life, this is the film for you.

This movie was hard to follow and that was made even worse by how softly the actors spoke. Even with the volume turned up higher than normal, their voices were so low and the background noise in the movie (not the theater, in the movie itself), was so loud that I missed at least half of the dialogue. I have a feeling I didn't miss much but I still would rather have heard it than not.

This movie was absolutely HORRIBLE do not waste your money. The whole plot line was trash and the movie was so choppy and the editing was shit

Oh...my...god. How could this piece of garbage get green lighted? How could someone actually pay someone to direct and act in this miserable waste of a film? Were the actors blackmailed into it? Were their families threatened if they didn't do the movie? All these questions and more will be answered in the next exciting episode of WHY DID I RENT THIS WRETCHED PIECE OF (CENSORED!!) I mean, wow. It was so slow and boring. I really watched the whole movie, hoping something would happen. At the end, it was so freaking confusing. The special effects were hopelessly terrible and the acting sucked. I don't want to be a hater, but this film was especially horrible. AVOID this movie, people. Save your money and time. You won't get either back. Peace.

This was just really confusing from beginning to end.

The concept and some of the horror was good. But too much was thrown in that is cheesy. I hated that aspect. The other is plot holes. Many good movies even have them but this one wasn't good enough to make those mistakes. It was often just too none sensible which drove me nuts. It's like why is this happening? Huh? But why...? And so on. I had too too many of those. It was annoying. I felt it was filmed without having the script edited enough. I feel someone just wasn't listening and was confident in it being how it is but no. It was not. The acting could be good at times but others just bogus. I hated when I could tell they're just acting. You know? You are no longer submersed into the movie. You see it for the reality and no one wants to see that when watching a movie.

Sigh! You could have had something good, not great, but good. Instead no. Okay at the most. I'm disappointed in whoever dropped the ball here.

Their voices are low, have many jumpscares but none of them were effective. No story at all, non-sense.

I was initially lured in to watch the 2018 horror movie "Behind the Walls" because of the interesting cover the movie had, but also because it was a horror movie that I hadn't already seen.

And now that I have seen "Behind the Walls", I must admit that I am sitting here with a sensation of 'what the H... did I just watch?'. This movie, from writers and directors James Kondelik and Jon Kondelik, set out to want to do a lot of things all at once, but ending up delivering not even on a third of those things. You are let with a whole lot of unanswered questions at the end of the movie, and trust me, you'll be wondering what this was all about.

It felt like directors James Kondelik and Jon Kondelik wanted to cram as much shocks and jump scares into the movie as they possibly could, as well as putting as much strangeness into the movie as they possibly could. And believe me, there was a lot of horror elements going on. But it was just too much, and it was all the time. And 99% of the things you get to watch are never brought to fruition, there are no end or satisfying meaning to what you just witness on the screen. So you are left with a lot of unfulfilled things throughout the course of the movie.

The storyline in "Behind the Walls" also feels behind the walls, because there was no head or tails to it, no proper red thread through it all, and it just felt like it was a collection of small scenes and fragments of film captured by directors James Kondelik and Jon Kondelik and then edited together to make a movie.

The acting in the movie was adequate, although you never really get to form any relations to the characters, as everything was just done rushed or halfheartedly. Again, the writers and directors set out to want too much and delivered too little.

Visually, then "Behind the Walls" was definitely interesting and nice. There was a lot of interesting things throughout the course of the movie, and the special effects were good. Just a shame that the storyline was such a heap of scrambled rubbish.

My rating of "Behind the Walls" settles on a four out of ten stars, based mostly upon the visuals and the bombardment of horror elements. If you are looking for a movie with a plausible and coherent storyline, then "Behind the Walls" is not the best choice.

12 minutes. In and I had to turn it off..... terrible. Lol don't watch it.

I can't even call this a movie because it has absolutely no plot whatsoever, no consistent theme, not one redeeming quality at all. I'm positive that there is not a script or screenplay, just a bunch of random scenes that don't make any sense. It is truly the worst thing anyone has ever chosen to put on film. I gave it about 30 minutes just to see if I was wrong, but I should have trusted the opinion I had made in the first 30 seconds.
