Cobweb | Film Review
I knew nothing about this film. I saw one trailer right before watching it, but the trailer was great, so I was definitely looking forward to seeing the film. Peter (Woody Norman) constantly hears a tapping in his bedroom wall - a noise that his parents say is in his imagination. But as the noises become more real, Peter begins to believe that his parents are hiding a terrible secret. I really liked this movie. I love when a random movie like this actually ends up being quite good. The first thing I thought was that the lighting was really interesting. There are many sources of light visible, yet the scenes remain really dark. Yes, it adds to the atmosphere, but it also says a lot about the house these characters live in, especially when you see the contrast of the outside world. And in addition to that, the house is almost a character in and of itself, and a really interesting character at that The setting of the film is quite weird. It reminded me a bit of 'The Black Phone', ...
