Holly’s excited to finally meet fiancé Richard’s three children for the first time at a birthday celebration for his youngest in the English countryside. Holly is nervous to make a good impression, however when they arrive circumstances are far from ideal. —Nia_AshantiI had no idea what I was in for here when I sat down to watch the 2021 horror mystery from writer and director Sebastian Godwin. But it being a horror movie, of course, that I hadn’t already seen, then I had to sit down and watch it. Of course I did.Well, I can honestly say that “Homebound” provided me with no entertainment. The storyline told in the movie, as written by Sebastian Godwin, was just not within the scopes of my liking. So it was a very tedious and difficult movie to sit through, especially when taking no enjoyment from the viewing.There was nothing scary about “Homebound”, well aside from how boring the movie was. So for a horror movie, then “Homebound” was a swing and a miss. Sure, if you are entirely new to the horror genre, then I suppose there might be something scary about “Homebound”. But for a seasoned horror veteran, then director Sebastian Godwin just simply didn’t rise to the task at hand.The acting performances in the movie were bland. But I believe this to be because that the actors and actresses had so very little to work with in terms of a properly functioning script, and also having to portray one-dimensional characters just didn’t help to make the performers shine.If you enjoy a good horror movie, then “Homebound” is not the best of choices. I wouldn’t recommend you wasting your time, money or effort on this movie.My rating of “Homebound” lands on a two out of ten stars.
