The Woman in the Yard it's not what you imagine
In recent months, I've had the opportunity to watch horror films that, while not having the same impact they used to have, where you couldn't sleep with fear, have been very good and entertaining. But recently, I saw a film that managed to break that streak I was on, and that was The Woman in the Yard. I honestly didn't like it. Although after watching it, I felt like I didn't understand anything and searched for an explanation, I still don't like it for various reasons.
This film shows us the life of Ramona and her two children who recently lost their father (and Ramona's husband) during the first minutes of the film we see that Ramona is not feeling well, she does not take care of her children or her pet, they even have no electricity at home, but then something strange happens and a woman appears in front of her house dressed in black, she just sits there looking towards the house. And that's where everyone starts to get scared.
Honestly, I reached a point in the movie where I felt stupid because I didn't understand anything that was happening and that caused me to lose interest and almost fall asleep. My husband, who was watching the movie with me, was exactly the same as me. We had high expectations for this movie since we had seen many recommendations on platforms like TikTok. We were expecting a horror movie, but it ended up being more of a kind of "psychological horror" of those that are not very understandable... Even as I mentioned before, I had to look for explanations to be able to understand what this movie is about.
And seeing the explanation I understood that the film wants to show us or reflect what depression looks like, basically the woman in black was a representation of the depression that Ramona had (or so I understood from the videos I saw) I also looked for comments from people who liked this film saying the same thing and also emphasizing that those who did not like the film are idiots who did not understand the profound message. I hate people who think they are superior for understanding a movie, which to me sounds more like people looking to justify a bad movie, who do not know how to tell the story correctly.
And I understand the film's point: depicting depression and everything it causes within us is quite difficult. However, this film not only lacks the strength to convey a real message, but the acting also doesn't help it connect with the characters, starting with the children, who looked like two ice cubes. They didn't convey anything to me. I feel that the best actor in this film was definitely the dog.
This movie was promoted as a horror movie where it was supposed to be about a ghost or something like that, but it was something totally different, many people liked it and others didn't, I personally would never watch it again.
Bueno ya con tu reseña de esta película que me recomendaron de terror, creo que no es tan terrífica ni de fantasmas. De 5 un 2 puntos.
Y si el
Mejor actor fue el perro @alexa.art menos me dan ganas de verla jjjjj no hay buena drama entonces. Que bueno que vi tu post antes 😁😆.
Gracias por compartir amiga. Saludos y lindo día !! 🙏🏻🤗😊
Yo también la Vi y no me gustó para nada. A diferencia de ti no me fui a buscar explicaciones de la película, porque, me pareció mala y aburrida. La trama no fue buena, las actuaciones tampoco. De un tiempo para acá, esas películas de terror no son buenas. Saludos.
Nothing makes me angrier than a horror movie that's marketed as one thing and ends up being something else entirely, and on top of that, one of those movies that you can't understand. And worst of all, it's the people who then try to make you feel stupid for not “understanding” the supposed “deep message.” If a movie needs a TikTok explanation for people to understand it, it's not well made. I'd much rather have a simple but well-told story than a “profound” one that's just confusing.
