Almost great fun except but fell far short for me
The acting wasn't great The effects were good. It was a fun story line. It was more geared towards a family with older children due to some scary elements. Unfortunately, I'm gluten free, not by choice but because of health problems and I have to raise children that way as well. The food I make and buy at bakeries isn't always disgusting. The mother just wasn't good at baking gf. This theme in movies making it out as if gluten free is unnecessary and a joke is making it so much harder for people raising their children this way. How would you feel having your lifestyle and who you are always being turned into a joke? - stoltzefish - 23 September 2023
Has potential
"The Curse of Bridge Hollow" is a Halloween movie that had a lot of potential, but unfortunately, the lead character's acting left much to be desired. The film's storyline and setting had all the elements of a classic spooky tale, but the girl portraying the lead character lacked the depth and emotion needed to bring the character to life.
Throughout the movie, it was evident that the lead actress's performance was stiff and lacked the naturalness required to make the audience connect with her character. Her expressions often felt forced, and her delivery of lines appeared robotic at times. This stiffness in her acting was distracting and took away from the overall enjoyment of the film.
It's worth noting that the success of a horror movie often hinges on the audience's ability to empathize with the protagonist and share in their fear and anxiety. Unfortunately, in "The Curse of Bridge Hollow," the lead actress's portrayal hindered this crucial connection. It became challenging to invest in her character's journey when her acting felt detached and mechanical.
In conclusion, while "The Curse of Bridge Hollow" had the potential to be a memorable Halloween movie, the lead actress's stiff acting was a notable drawback. It's clear that she could benefit from acting lessons to improve her performance and bring more authenticity to her characters in future projects. Her performance in this movie, unfortunately, hindered its overall impact and enjoyment.
