This movie didn’t make any sense to me. It had a few jump scares but the overall plot was confusing. Whom ever wrote this needs help. I could’ve written a better story line. Love the actors though. Don’t waste your time or movie. It’ll flop to a streaming app soon. Probably…

Trailer was better than the actual movie. I hate Snow White but I would have rather seen that than it through this snoozefest.

the movie was a somewhat ok, but very stilted depiction of grief and the toll it can play on us both mentally and physically. though a highpoint was a theater goer falling asleep and snoring through the last 3rd

Terrible movie, horrible concept. Can’t believe a studio put money into this.

Should’ve just kept the horror theme going strong. The power of family saving the day kinda ruined it

I found this one more compelling than most horror films and will likely see it again.

Deadwyler remains credibly frazzled, pushed towards monstrousness in ways that will be familiar to anyone who homeschooled during Covid, and the bundled figure closing in on her is genuine nightmare fuel. Yet the rest of this hotchpotch never matches it, and flails in trying to explain it away.

Some genre fans will be disappointed by the film’s slow-burn style and the cryptic nature of Sam Stefanak’s screenplay, including its twist ending that’s open to interpretation. But for anyone more interested in cerebral horror and less in watching arteries gushing and entrails popping out, The Woman in the Yard offers considerable rewards.

While the film does subvert basic audience expectations, it doesn’t really do anything beyond that as it stumbles through a choppy and meandering narrative that not even an admittedly committed lead performance by Danielle Deadwyler can help save.
