Review of The Manor (2021) by Jluis_001 — 18 Oct 2021

Of all the films to be released in the Welcome to the Blumhouse anthology, The Manor was the one that had given me the most hope, and sadly it turned out to be one of the most disappointing.

The proposal with Barbara Hershey as the lead, and with a story that takes place in a nursing home, sounded pretty good, but The Manor makes the mistake that even with its short duration, it takes a long time to tackle its twist, and when you find out about it, it's very late, because the way in which the concept is brought to life is quite boring, and it's far away from any horror perception.

At its climax, it becomes almost a comedy, both for the bad performances and for how painful it feels in terms of resolutions. What a waste.
