Cobweb is not winning any awards and it is pretty farcical at times. But it's creepy, dark and good fun to watch.
The cast are all good, especially given the oddities of their characters. The parents start weird and quickly turn creepy, adding to the tension and the mystery during the first hour of the movie.
I liked that the movie opened several possibilities regarding where the story would take us. Over-imaginative kid acting up? Parents from hell? Murdered girl seeking revenge? Supernatural or some kind of monster? The opening hour of the film certainly sets a dark tone and keeps us guessing.
The final act (which seems to be heavily criticised) worked well in my opinion. It's flawed for sure, but it was tense and creepy with some good horror moments. I've certainly seen far sloppier endings in the horror genre, and I did feel satisfied enough when the movie ended.
Worth a watch 6/10.
