The Woman in the Yard (2025)



After an October full of horror movies, I decided to take a break for a few days. But after enjoying It: Welcome to Derry, I have been energized to catch up on some of the horror movies I skipped or just didn't find interesting when they were released. 

Plot: A mysterious woman repeatedly appears in a family's front yard, often delivering chilling warnings and unsettling messages, leaving them to question her identity, motives, and the potential danger she might pose.

I found this one a lot more interesting than I expected from the trailer or advertisements. While it didn't fully deliver on its promise, it did offer a nice mix of atmosphere and tension, especially early on with the cloaked woman sitting there. The performances are strong, and the characters are well developed, but something is missing that prevents the movie from truly bringing it home. The pacing is good, and the cinematography is excellent, but the storyline and scripting seem to drift toward the end as the climax approaches, and the movie's ending feels rushed. In the end, it made for an entertaining evening's watch and a movie that could be a strong gateway into the horror genre for those in search of something tame.
