I do love watching horror movies, and I must admit that this 2017 horror movie titled "The Lullaby" (aka "Siembamba") was alluring. So I picked it up and gave it a chance, without knowing who was in the movie or what the movie was about. Yeah, I was sold by the movie's cover alone.
Turns out that this movie was a massive swing and a miss from director Darrell Roodt, and it utterly failed to entice or entertain me. I managed to endure just about 30 minutes of the ordeal that is "The Lullaby" before I turned it off and gave up. Nothing had happened, nothing of any worth or any entertainment value. The movie's storyline was just so unfathomably slow paced that it was a drag to sit through.
It should be said that the acting performances, from what I saw, was adequate, especially when you take into consideration the appalling lack of a proper script and storyline, which serves as an anchor around the performer's legs.
I have zero interest in returning to watch the rest of "The Lullaby" ever. It just failed to provide any kind of enjoyable entertainment for me. I've watch many, many horror movies, but this was simply just a waste of time.
My rating of "The Lullaby" lands on a two out of ten stars. It scores two given the production value of the movie. The rest of the contents weren't exactly lifting the movie upwards.
