      Audience Member Poor script and bland performances make this Shining clone a dull film. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Just another haunted house horror. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Atmospheric but tediously dull and shock, scare free? Interesting cast and an unusual twist but overall its only an ok film Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A typical psychological drama that leaves little to the imagination. If you want mystery and suspense then I suggest a different film. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Tried to be clever with the classic ghost story format but forgot to try and make it work. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Russel Tovey is a busy boy. Just tripped across this clever little thriller in which he plays a mysterious, possibly murderous, man. Check it out. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Jonathan Romney Observer (UK) So trad it could have been made in the 60s, Blackwood nevertheless has the courage of its old-school convictions. Rated: 3/5 Aug 4, 2014 Full Review Geoffrey Macnab Independent (UK) The film-makers create a genuinely unsettling atmosphere and crank up the tension in effective fashion... Unfortunately, in the final reel, the film lurches into Grand Guignol silliness. Rated: 3/5 Aug 1, 2014 Full Review Owen Williams Empire Magazine A hokey, clich-mining horror that boasts the odd haunted-house shock for the hardy viewer. Rated: 2/5 Jul 31, 2014 Full Review Ben Nicholson CineVue Blackwood's over-reliance on the sudden materialising of various apparitions to illicit jumps never quite works. Rated: 2/5 Apr 3, 2019 Full Review Brigit Grant Daily Express (UK) With handsome Greg Wise playing a former colleague of dubious intent, the plot thickens to an interesting twist without scaring the bejeebers out of you. Rated: 3/5 Aug 23, 2017 Full Review Scott Weinberg TheHorrorShow A standard haunted house set-up, only with strong acting, handsome cinematography, and an old-fashioned sense of crafty restraint.
