Leave your thoughts about The Manor.
| San Francisco ChronicleChris VognarThe Manor establishes itself as a solid piece of paranoia horror. |
| The GuardianPhil HoadDirector Axelle Carolyn maintains a pleasingly teasing rhythm so it’s a pity that, as the sprightly nursing-home gothic fun winds up, it descends into Scooby Dooish over-explication. |
| The Hollywood ReporterLovia GyarkyeWith its tight structure, adequate level of suspense and inventive plot, The Manor more than fulfills the requirements of a thrilling horror flick. But its clumsy and at times repetitive script, along with its beautiful but predictable cinematography, kept me from feeling fully immersed in Belgian writer-director Axelle Carolyn’s project. |
| The New York TimesLena WilsonDespite some flat cinematography and borderline goofy special effects, The Manor gives us a distinctive 70-year-old woman as its protagonist and a twisty ending sure to polarize. |
| The A.V. ClubKatie RifeAs with most of the Welcome To The Blumhouse movies, The Manor has flaws that could probably be attributed to scant resources and a quick turnaround time. |
| RogerEbert.comNick AllenThe premise isn’t thoroughly uncomfortable so much as it is simply tedious; Barbara Hershey’s focal character Tabitha is made to appear more and more helpless in the film’s scant psychological thrills, and yet we’re stuck with a flat anxiety for a feature's length. |
| User ReviewKellyGaudreauThe scares are not 100% there but it still has a great feel to it as a horror movie. I did have trouble with trying to visualize the actors as residents of a nursing home, however. |
| User ReviewJLauWoman in her 70s moves into a nursing home where other residents are having unexplained deaths and she's seeing a tree-person hovering over her at night but, it's actually three of the other residents using witchcraft to keep themselves young at the expense of others and getting their family members jobs at the home. |
| User ReviewJLuis_001Of 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. |
| User ReviewMauro_Lanari(Mauro Lanari) Harmless "Dorian Gray" lacking in inventiveness. That's all. |
