Claudio C @Claudio666 Feb 13 Predictable Film (12,272 - 12 Feb 2026) The teacher Cass lives at a mansion in the countryside of England with her beloved husband Matthew. She has inherited the house and now she is renovating it with Matthew. Her best friend is Rachel since their childhood. While driving back home, there is a storm and Cass takes a short cut through the forest. She sees a parked car with a woman inside and she heads home. On the next day, she learns that the woman she saw was murdered. Cass has frequent memory loss and Matthew takes her to the psychiatric. Meanwhile Det. DC Lawson receives a tip of the presence of Cass at the crime scene and investigates her. "Blackwater Lane" (2024) is a predictable film, but underrated in many reviews. The greatest problem is the edition with the use of fade outs all the time, irritating the viewer. It is not difficult to find Matthew’s profile, but his partner is only revealed later. My vote is six. Title (Brazil): "A Casa do Engano" ("The House of the Mistake") See more Gregarious Y @RT74841773 Feb 3 It's entertaining. Good plot twists. I don't understand some of the terrible reviews. See more R T @Gheraldo Jan 11 While the plot is a little confusing, overall I enjoyed the movie and as a soft horror film I found it a good movie to watch! See more Matt R @RT44158135 Dec 1 It was not a good movie at all. Unfortunately I stuck through to the end thinking maybe the wild, sporadic, ultimately confusing plot might have a great pay off. It did not. I don't know what else to say, other than, if you happen to be considering this movie, do not waste your time. It was ultimately major disappointment.

Because this acting is just atroucious! Stiff, with spitted dialogues. No pauses, no sink in some feelings... just a plastic stereotype performance. I kept imagine what a Nicole Kidman would do with the main role, another actor playing the role of the husband that would not do that terrible emotionless crap... The book is such a delight to read. In the movie you miss some parts that would be ESSENCIAL for us to understand better the character and the drama. There is no real message about the closiness of the friendship between the two female leads. The tention that could have built from the baby shop incident - if they had included it in the movie - would be a short cut for a lot of dialogue they put in there but made no sense. The amount of screen time they spend forcing us to watch the lead protagonist face just pacing, or going to sleep, or remanescence... that's two extra scenes right there, easily! The main actors were like machine guns: shooting the script at each other. The main character is not likable and carries little resemblance with the woman in the book. Her "eternal passion" guy looked like he was more interested in men. In the midle of all this terrible acting performances ONE stood out by showing of credible and well done: a major secundary part played by Pandora Cliford (Susie). She was stunning in the middle of that acting swamp. Please, don't make movies if you don't have good actors. Directors also. In this case the sonoplasty RUIN the movie. ALmost every scene that SHOULD NOT have that "suspence" melody had it everywere. Ruin it all! We could tell who the guilty ones were just by looking at the stiff performance of the "husband" and the way the director decided to capture him on camera. No affection or love or caring between the characters. The part that he took her breakfast every morning in bed - that it was CRUCIAL for the story since he was poinsoning her - undetected in the movie. A cold fish husband with a wife that spends the all movie making suprise and scary faces. Her lovability that is perceptive in the book - gone. No one understands why people should even care about her or believe her clames. In this movie you just don't. And casting a 61 years old to be her husband when they were suposed to be the same age - just doesn't work! I don't care if he was in a famous sitcom that was s#i£ anyway. He delivered a stiff performance. Horrible adaptation to an otherwise nice story. Hope it gets re-done by A list actors and directors. See more Read all reviews
