The Woman in the Yard Ratings & Reviews
- Paul CraneJuly 20, 2025Well done with an interesting twist at the end!
- MichielApril 17, 2025Boring, annoying actors, not scary at all and long stretched. Skip unless you have nothing better to do.
- NirupamApril 19, 2025Today’s the day… to serve. The Woman in Yard looked so elegant and so mother like in that long black dress and veil sitting on that chair. Came to slay and slay. An icon. A diva. On a serious note though, this movie wasn’t what I was expecting at all. The trailer made it look like a fun jumpscare filled supernatural home invasion horror but the movie itself is more about grief and trauma and how it manifests itself driving a family apart. It was sad with some fantastic performances. Danielle Deadwyler has quickly become one of my favorite actresses. She’s been great in everything and she’s amazing here. I will say that it did get a bit messy towards the end but I came out of the theater really impressed. I loved the story, the performances, the woman in the yard (and her dress) and the cinematography. Looking at these reviews, maybe I’m in the minority but I liked this a lot.
- Steven VickersJuly 11, 2025It got lost on it's self
- eddie.jJuly 7, 2025Holy crap! I love these psychological movies. This one made me cry
- adam3199July 7, 2025Tedious. Corrolary: "The Woman in Black" which is truly edge of the seat and unnerving. This in contrast is a silly predictavle mess.
- Conner VosJuly 5, 2025mid horror movie, not really scary at all.
- ichi214April 24, 2025I enjoyed this more than most. It definitely has flaws, mostly coming from the script. But there's plenty to enjoy here, with the fun use of mirrors and shadows being a standout for me. It doesn't do anything exceptionally well or terribly poor. Just a breezy, yet honest look at guilt and grief in an hour and 28 minutes. Very comparable to Jennifer Kent's The Babadook. And I don't know about anyone else, but it's refreshing to see a major horror release with black Americans playing all the major roles (or every role in this case) and the film not being about racism.
- Kevin WardJuly 1, 2025This was pretty disappointing, but sort of expected. Danielle Deadwyler is terrific as always just wish this script had been fleshed out some more. Feels sort of unintentionally pro suicide unless I’m misreading the film. Watch her in 40 Acres when it comes out later this year.
- kingaurApril 17, 2025Garbage 🗑 I would like my hour and twenty minutes back.
- HumptyMay 18, 2025Today's the day!
- ahwooJune 27, 2025An interesting film about dealing with grief.
- UniqueMovies Deb HJune 25, 2025This is My second time watching this movie. The strong supernatural and psychological aspects of this movie makes it so intriguing to watch! What the mother sees and experiences are so strong that even her children can see it! The woman in the yard is basically a doppelganger and poltergeist of the mother! Caused by her severe pain anguish and loss of her husband. It's amazing how strong the mind can work. And when mental illness plays a role in that, supernatural hauntings can take place, That even doctors of science don't understand. This is a very heavy psychological movie, A must see and worth the watch ✨🕊️✨🕊️✨
- PinkVyxenJune 17, 2025Storyline was slow and the ending was not great, I had anticipated it to be better than what it was. Very predictable.
- Matthias_812March 28, 2025Another 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.
