- Spoons25 november 2024Cobweb is a delightfully eerie concoction—a modern fairy tale with a sharp edge, blending chills and chuckles into an unsettlingly fun package. The film crafts a story that feels both timeless and fresh, capturing the essence of classic bedtime tales while injecting them with a hefty dose of nightmare fuel. At its heart, "Cobweb" thrives on contrast. Genuinely funny moments are peppered throughout the narrative, offering just enough levity to lure you into a false sense of security before the creep factor cranks up. And then there’s the “monster”—a proper, spine-tingling creation that manages to terrify while staying true to the film’s fairytale roots. It’s the kind of character that lingers in the shadows of your mind long after the credits roll. With its blend of humor, horror, and a twisted sense of whimsy, "Cobweb" feels like the dark bedtime story you probably shouldn’t have heard as a kid. This film will be popular with fans of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark or Mama, where unsettling creatures and fractured fairy tales collide in delightfully creepy ways.
- Rasmus Meldal26 januari 2025Decent but predictable and a few weird choices regarding the overnatural
- Johan Potgieter19 augustus 2025It had a few scary moments but overall it was tame. The parent seemed weird and creepy from the start.
- jackmeat13 februari 2026My quick rating - 6.4/10. Hey, look, it is Homelander (Antony Starr) as the father in this flick. I definitely can relate to sibling rivalry, but this is to the extreme LOL. Cobweb is a chilling journey seen through the eyes of an eight-year-old kid named Peter (Woody Norman), who has his life turned upside down by a harmless tapping noise. This psychological horror movie, directed by first-time feature film director Samuel Bodin, blends creepy atmosphere, a mysterious monster, and a hint of family drama. The tapping sound, which the parents blame on Peter's overactive imagination, keeps the tension up as the movie wears on. As Peter’s fear escalates, so do the stakes, and he begins to suspect that his parents are hiding a dark secret. This movie never would've worked if Norman had not acted so well. All these moving parts cause you to question who and what to believe. Cobweb's creepy atmosphere is one of its highlights. The lighting, shadows, and creepy angles all draw us into a world where the lines between reality and imagination are no longer clear. The tapping itself is a character, a presence that looms in the background. The tapping itself is timed to perfection, creating a rhythm that is stuck in your head (as it is in mine). I also appreciated the visual design of the monster in Cobweb. When finally exposed, the creature is a chilling mix of repulsive and attractive. The otherworldly look is skillfully done, with just enough left to the imagination to tap into your primal fears. Just the thought of insanely long hair and a dark face gave us a creature that is more than just a cheap fright. It is a representation of Peter's fears, confronting both him and the viewer with the monsters we create in our own minds. Amidst all the frightful moments, the movie also touches on the trust factor in Peter's family. As he becomes more and more convinced of his parents' role in the tapping and evil, the movie explores the fragility of family relationships and the creepy idea that those closest to us may not always have our best interests in mind. The parents' storyline is another layer to the fright, and I felt that the climax was a great mix of reality, fright, and psychosis. Both Starr as the father and Lizzy Caplan playing the mother are equally disturbing in totally different ways. As the flick progresses, Cleopatra Coleman, as one of Peter's teachers, plays a significant part in doing what she can to help. Everything comes together in an atmospheric and haunting exploration of childhood fear, paranoia, and some intense sibling rivalry.
- Michael Ciccarone21 november 2025Much better than I thought it would be.
- Kevin Ward2 juli 2025Should have been an October/Halloween release. Has some really creepy moments and is nicely paced. Starts off as kind of a ghost story / spooky mystery and then (without giving anything away) turns into a fun slaughter fest when some masked intruders enter the fray. Antony Starr has one of the most unsettling smiles in cinema history. Homelander vibes carryover into this one. Lizzy Caplan has a few unsettling moments herself. Really fun watch. Worth saving and checking it out this spooky season, if you haven’t seen it already.
- Amber19 september 2025Decent watch
- Jeff Grossi10 november 2025Solid flick that landed a bit flat at the end. You feel you know where its going but they give you a bit of a twist. I wasnt a fan of the reveal and feel like there was a better route to take here. But over all pretty fun watch.
- gnrrain5 november 2025Great start, interesting premise, and the third act goes nuts. Biggest gripe is how incredibly dark everything is. You can't really tell what's happening most of the time because the lighting in the movie is positively crap.
