Caveat

This is the story of Isaac , who is enlisted by a shady stranger Barrett , to look after his psychologically disturbed niece Olga in a decrepit house on a deserted rural island following her father's recent suicide. The question is - has he been there before? Not being a horror movie fan , I have to give writer and director Damian Mc Carthy credit for what it a entertainingly creepy movie. The setting is the star of this show . The house on an island with a chain coming from the cellar. The peeling wallpaper and secret passageways. Why anyone would would agree to stay there , especially if they had been there before , Is beyond me but that's horror films for you . The viewer is left with lots of questions. What is the rabbit all about ? What was the accident? Is Mother dead? 87 minutes is a good running time for a horror film as the cliches don't outstay their welcome. A decent first time attempt from a debut director.

I sat down to watch the 2020 thriller/horror movie from writer and director Damian Mc Carthy here in 2021, without having ever heard about the movie. I stumbled upon it by random luck, and given my love for all things horror, of course I took the time to sit down to watch "Caveat". Unfortunately this movie was brutally boring and slow paced. It was such a struggle to sit through the ordeal that was supposed to resemble a storyline. Especially since nothing worth of any kind really happened, and the movie felt more like a jumble of random scenes put together in semi-order to form a coherent movie. I was by no means entertained by what I saw here in "Caveat", and this is definitely not a movie I would recommend any horror fans rush out to get their hands on. To me, this movie was so insanely slow paced and uneventful that it simply wasn't worth wasting my time on. Yet, I endured about an hour or so, hoping that the movie would pick up in pace or at least the storyline would become more interesting. Neither of those things happened. And this is not a movie that I will ever be returning to attempt to watch the remaining part that I skipped on. The acting in the movie was pretty wooden and rigid, given the fact that the actors and actresses had next to nothing to work with in terms of script, storyline and well-written characters. "Caveat" was a swing and a miss, and director Damian Mc Carthy just failed to entertain me with this 2020 movie. My rating of "Caveat" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.
