Review of Down a Dark Hall (2018) by Umaumai — 05 Jun 2020
The premise of this movie is interesting, but they failed to execute it in a meaningful way. I wouldn’t call it a simple horror film and it does build to somewhere, yet I feel like the characters and the story were never connected so not a lot gets fleshed out.
I’m not jaded, but this film helps point out so many of the current useless tropes in films. Voice overs of actual dialogue coming back that are from earlier in the film used like they are grand words of wisdom set in stone being one of them.
It’s use here was made even more polarizing during a moment when it was supposed to be uplifting, but it fell flat because the film makers where completely off the mark as they used throw away lines from the movie’s “villain.
” The only reason I gave this a 5 and not a 3 was because Uma Thurman is in it and she rules. Not a great movie. Somewhat different, just not entertaining.
