Review of The Manor (2021) by Tvjerry — 11 Oct 2021

With the aging Boomers, nursing homes have become the settings for more films, including these 3 recent ones: Queen Bees (awful), Poms (awful), I Care a Lot (clever). That last one is the closest to this film because it trades on the same paranoia that comes from becoming a helpless senior in one of these homes.

Barbara Hersey moves into the titular residence, only to suspect that something sinister is happening. This Blumhouse production trades in the familiar spooky themes, but the holes in the logic and the predictable plot interfere with any suspense.

Meanwhile, the pedestrian direction never lends itself to any real scares.
