When I stumbled upon the 2022 horror movie "Lullaby" here late in 2022, of course I had to watch it, as I have been enjoying horror movies ever since the early 1980s. Sure, I had never heard about "Lullaby" prior to sitting down to watch it, so I wasn't exactly harboring any expectations for the movie.
Writers Alex Greenfield and Ben Powell managed to put together an entertaining enough script for the movie. And while the movie was enjoyable enough, it started to lose its momentum in the last quarter of the movie. And as for the ending, well, let's just say it was generic and predictable.
There is a good atmosphere in the movie throughout the 89 minutes that the movie ran for, and the special effects definitely helped to bring the movie to life on the screen.
I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in "Lullaby", but they had some good actors and actresses to portray the various characters and roles, and that definitely also added something to the movie.
However, the movie was struggling with it being a tad too generic, and you always knew what would happen, more or less. So director John R. Leonetti wasn't exactly ahead of the audience much to be able to throw the audience a curveball or two as the narrative unfolded.
If you enjoy horror movies, then by all means give "Lullaby" a go. It is not an outstanding horror movie, nor a particularly memorable one, but it makes for an adequate viewing and turned out to be entertaining enough for what it was. This is, however, not a movie that warrants more than a single viewing.
My rating of "Lullaby" lands on a five out of ten stars.
