Cobweb taps into well worn horror concepts and delivers something a little different but hardly surprising. We all know from the get go, what Cobweb represents in broad terms. A tale of a child, locked away by its parents, because its different and more than a little, sinister. Stepping beyond the predictable, is a few tweaks that set this horror film apart. Mostly, in a good way. Cleverly re-working aspects of a classic premise, pays dividends in terms of scares and a surprising reveal. What doesn't work so well, is the family dynamic. We all knows its dysfunctional. The fact its so coldly, over stated, feels oppressive. Injecting a little more genuine warmth, into the family dynamic, would have heightened the impact, of the horror, that inevitably unfolds. Acting is decent, especially given the young age of some cast members. Only thing I'm not so sure about is why the voice over for the sister character, ends up sounding like Marge Simpsons, spinster sisters? In summary, enough that's new, grafted onto a well established horror premise, to make this film a success. Somewhat let down, by heavy handling, surrounding the family dynamic.
