Rick K @Jawwas Jan 4 Watch anything else See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 30 Candlewood is a low-budget horror film that starts with a hint of potential but quickly falls apart due to weak execution. The premise suggests a moody, atmospheric story, yet the film never commits to building real tension or emotional investment. Key story details are either rushed or completely missing, making the narrative feel incomplete and unfocused. The screenplay is the film’s biggest flaw. Dialogue feels cheap and awkward, often trying to sound spooky instead of natural or threatening. Rather than creating suspense, many lines pull you out of the experience. The acting is uneven, with most performances feeling stiff and inexperienced, as if the cast is reading directly from the script instead of embodying their characters. Direction and pacing do little to elevate the material. The scares rarely land, the atmosphere never fully forms, and the film feels flat from beginning to end. Candlewood isn’t just flawed—it’s forgettable, and unfortunately not worth the time See more David M @davidmonkman Dec 7 This movie was so awful. The acting horrible, the plot horrible, and the constant use of the fish eye lens. See more Tanya W Nov 29 If you have nothing else to watch sure. They gave away too many hints at the beginning of the movie so there is no shock at the end. The jump scares were fun though, even if there is no real mystery. Enjoy it as a B movie and don't expect to much. See more Terry f Sep 23 Made an account just to say how bad it was. I don’t get how the score is 64% would put 0 if I could.
