The Woman in the Yard
The Woman in the Yard
A mysterious woman repeatedly appears in a family's front yard, often delivering chilling warnings and unsettling messages, leaving them to question her identity, motives and the potential danger she might pose.

Another horror centered around grief. The Woman in the Yard doesn't attempt to challenge enough to leave a lasting impression. There is a loss of translation near the end (at least to me) of the lore and its rules. I'm not sure what and who was flipped through that specific sequence and what was real and what wasn't.
Production and technicals, it is competent. There's impressive sweeping camerawork and framing. The flowing black cloak over the woman in the bright sunlit yard looks nice. I will say I was impressed how bleak things got and it doesn't have the super happy "everything is good" family ending Blumhouse always ruins their films with. I mean it's sort of "happy" but isn't without saying too much.
