By 2/3rds though I suspected the twist (which is pro forma for this genre) and with few alternative directions it wasn't too hard to guess and that was a little disappointing. It wasn't a slow burn (like many of the reviews reported), nearly every little scene advanced the plot enough to keep my interest: I wasn't just waiting for the inevitable or bored by innocuous and unimportant scenes. Iwas favorably surprised at 1/3 through and still at 2/3 through. The atmosphere is ideal, a creepy but beautiful old house with too many rooms and isolated in the country away from neighbors and city. I saw the 4.2 IMBD rating, iI decided to give a go anyway It was well acted, well produced with almost no plot holes so common in mysteries. My rating of "Homebound" lands on a two out of ten stars. ![]() I wouldn't recommend you wasting your time, money or effort on this movie. If you enjoy a good horror movie, then "Homebound" is not the best of choices. But I believe this to be because that the actors and actresses had so very little to work with in terms of a properly functioning script, and also having to portray one-dimensional characters just didn't help to make the performers shine. The acting performances in the movie were bland. But for a seasoned horror veteran, then director Sebastian Godwin just simply didn't rise to the task at hand. Sure, if you are entirely new to the horror genre, then I suppose there might be something scary about "Homebound". So for a horror movie, then "Homebound" was a swing and a miss. There was nothing scary about "Homebound", well aside from how boring the movie was. So it was a very tedious and difficult movie to sit through, especially when taking no enjoyment from the viewing. The storyline told in the movie, as written by Sebastian Godwin, was just not within the scopes of my liking. Well, I can honestly say that "Homebound" provided me with no entertainment. But it being a horror movie, of course, that I hadn't already seen, then I had to sit down and watch it. I had no idea what I was in for here when I sat down to watch the 2021 horror mystery from writer and director Sebastian Godwin. You're left to wonder, what the f* did I just watch? The End And, no, you will not get those 90 minutes back. Kid tells sobbing bride, who's probably wishing that she didn't lose her clue that it's time for her. But mom is dead isn't she? Judging by the flies buzzing, I'm guessing yes. Bride, who never recovered her clue, stupidly follows the kids into the room. We know this because every now and then a camera focuses on that door and makes creepy music play. Mom is behind a big wooden door down in a very creepy basement. I guess curiosity does kill the cat and bride tosses away her clue and follows middle daughter back into the house. Where's Mom? Well we kind of know within 20 minutes of the film. Middle daughter takes a shovel and beats dad's brains in. Dad runs after her, screaming, you're my wife, which, apparently, he thinks means you got to stay through thick and thin until death to your part. Bride gets him off the son and she finally buys herself a clue and decides to escape and runs outside. ![]() Nobody's talking, so dad decides to drown his son in the sink. So the kids grab onto bride and dad and start screaming, say I do! Bride smacks a kid off her. Later bride goes snooping and sees mom's phone in her bedroom. I hope there were heating lamps out of sight for the actors. Unattractive and weird af, dad, and new bride slobber on each other with smacking kisses in front of the kids -relentlessly. Littlest girl buries something in the woods. The dog eats something from the table and is either vomiting or just vomited and is eating it. And dad and the three young kids chug down a ton of whiskey, champagne, and wine that would make a long-time alcoholic passout. Dad and the three kids brutally kill a goose for that night's dinner. It seems to be in the middle of no where. They live in one of those huge stone houses with too many rooms that apparently the English like. The children are hostile toward the new bride and refuse to speak to her. Although she texts the man to stay and if he decides to leave the three young children, they will be fine on their own. Mom is supposed to be there, but she's no where in sight. Starts with a couple going to see the man's children. I don't know what to say about it other than I watched it because I wanted to know what the hell was going on. This is one of those weird, ominous little movies.
