Synopsis

Eight-year-old Peter is plagued by a mysterious, constant tap, tap from inside his bedroom wall – a tapping that his parents insist is all in his imagination. As Peter’s fear intensifies, he believes that his parents (Lizzy Caplan and Antony Starr) could be hiding a terrible, dangerous secret and questions their trust. And for a child, what could be more frightening than that?

    64 A cozy autumnal slice of comfort horror. Felt like a Goosebumps episode with the gruesome edge of something like Barbarian. Pretty stupid that this Halloween-set horror film was unceremoniously dropped in July to die in the midst of Barbenheimer season. Release it in…

    I no longer trust foods that smell or taste like cinnamon.

    Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A basement room with cobwebs. And cobwebs make me crazy. Crazy? I was crazy once...

    This could have been so good! It’s close, genuinely creepy until VFX come into play. More Antony Starr horror, please. Immediately.

Amid all the mayhem, a fairly lucid portrait of disturbed child psychology emerges. Although derivative, Chris Thomas Devlin’s script has enough sick, witty ideas to make the fearsome goings-on seem fresh and immediate. At the very least, after watching Cobweb, you’ll never look at a jack-o’-lantern the same way again.

Cobweb feels like an incomplete collection of horror ideas that aren't explored to their full potential, but it ultimately succeeds thanks to deranged performances by Lizzy Caplan and Antony Starr.
