Eight-year-old Peter is plagued by a mysterious, constant tap, tap from inside his bedroom wall -- a tapping that his parents insist is all in his imagination. As Peter's fear intensifies, he believes that his parents (Lizzy Caplan and Antony Starr) could be hiding a terrible, dangerous secret and questions their trust. And for a child, what could be more frightening than that?

Critics Consensus

This itsy bitsy horror film creeps and crawls.

Audience Says

Cobweb is suspenseful and scary -- even if the ending could be better -- and Lizzy Caplan is always fun to watch.

Los Angeles Times

The script by Chris Thomas Devlin succeeds in maintaining us in suspense and includes plenty of brutal moments. [Full review in Spanish]

The Australian

Jee-woon has made several other interesting films. His work here is manic, at times hysterical, and at other times hilarious.

Rated: 3/5

The Times (UK)

This American horror too is built around the “creature in the walls” concept, but here the dominant theme is parental guilt. Which is nice, because there’s little else to engage with... [Full review in Spanish]

Rebecca Sayce

FILMHOUNDS Magazine

The powerful and chilling performances of the ensemble cast are not enough to revive Cobweb, which boasts the raw elements of a horror film yet never feels fleshed out to its full potential.

Rated: 3/5

...a deliberately-paced endeavor that fares rather poorly within its sluggish, uninvolving first half...

Film Freak Central

Cobweb has edges on it that catch in the throat; it's a confection designed for consumption but laden with self-consciousness and even defensiveness.

Rated: 2.5/4

This movie was ok. I would have enjoyed it a lot more without the final act of the film being kind of cheese. It was like bad cgi out of the Netflix Death Note or something. Not the worst film I have seen but wouldn’t want to see it again.
