Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe movie was notoriously under-marketed with virtually no advertising by its studio despite having heavy-hitting producers such as Seth Rogan and a generally overall positive response by critics and audiences. The film also opened in July against Barbie and Oppenheimer despite having a distinctly Halloween atmosphere.
- GoofsAfter the teacher goes to Peter's house the first time, his mother confronts him in his room with his drawing and Peter has a bloody chin. This is before he is pushed over by the bully, which happens later on.
- Quotes
The Girl (Sarah): Peter, please, you're my brother, don't you see Peter, it's in our blood, you killed mom and dad, you're just like me.
Peter: No! I'm not like you.
Monster Sarah: Do you really gonna think this is gonna keep me down here? Every night... when you lie in bed... you'll wonder if you locked the door, or saw a shadow move. Every creak, every groan, every tap in the wall, you'll think of me. We're family Peter.
[pause]
Monster Sarah: I will always be with you. Always...
Once again, I was hooked by a trailer, but unlike the last few horrors I've seen, which have all been disappointing, Cobweb was actually a pretty good movie.
Let's be honest, it's far from perfect, but then again, what is, at times it was a little too dark, and I wish they hadn't shown the figure, I would have preferred the ambiguity. I didn't care for some of The CGI, had they toned her down a bit, I think it would have worked better.
The ending felt a bit rushed, I wonder if they'd cut a number of scenes out, that said it was nice to watch a movie that didn't run for three hours.
The plus points, quite a few of them, first of all, pound for pound, this had more jump scares than I've seen for quite a while, and when they came, they were really good, the moment with the mother coming down the corridor was excellent, plenty of tension and unease.
I thought the acting was terrific, Lizzy Caplan, Antony Starr and young Woody Norman were all on point.
Better than expected, I enjoyed it.
7/10.
