Push through its un-understated symbolism and the prevailing sense that Deadwyler is too good for this material, and you may appreciate The Woman in the Yard for the concise, well-made supernatural thriller it is.

Jaume Collet-Serra turns a typical horror story into an allegory about evil and amoral suffering. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: B | Apr 17, 2025

Can creep out an audience but is less deft with freak-me-out horror.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 15, 2025

Jaume Collet-Serra's horror comeback is an ambitious but half-baked psychological horror.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 15, 2025

Creature feature fans may find something redeeming in the rampage, but the whole affair is ultimately less than the sum of its parts.

| Apr 14, 2025

Deadwyler excels in this familiar folkloric parable about keeping one's inner demons at bay or else risk them consuming you.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 14, 2025

While I understand that some may be profoundly destabilized by The Woman in the Yard, Collet-Serra accomplishes his intended effect and guarantees you’ll never be able to wipe it off your memory.

| Original Score: A+ | Apr 14, 2025

Stronger on its sense of contained place than its pacing, the result plays like a mid-ranking 온라인카지노추천 anthology-series mystery awkwardly stretched out for film.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 12, 2025

About as thrilling as watching the grass grow. The potential for an interesting horror-drama is here, but the execution is flawed. The final act becomes confusing as the audience tries to decipher the woman’s identity.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 9, 2025

More fitting as a folklore than a horror tale.

| Original Score: C+ | Apr 8, 2025

“The Woman in the Yard” is an expressionist horror film, which creates supernatural scenarios that act as metaphors for real life.

| Apr 7, 2025

This horror-thriller gets a bit muddled toward the end, with scares that are a little on the routine side, but it's a surprisingly sincere, neatly directed look at grief and depression.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 4, 2025

The film is unafraid to capture the confusion, anguish, and frustration of parenthood, and its equal commitment to being confusing, anguished, and occasionally frustrating in its own right ... is both refreshing and ravishing.

| Apr 3, 2025

Sadly the last third drags the film down which is a real shame considering how well it sets itself up early on.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 3, 2025

But its worst offense is perhaps that it continues a tired line of trauma horror and instead of bringing anything innovative [...], instead shows cowardice in its approach which undermines its own themes the same way the structure undermines its scares.

| Apr 2, 2025

I found myself in a waiting game mode, knowing the inevitable as far as how the film would likely conclude. Having little in the way of scares didn’t help either.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Apr 2, 2025

It was kind of confusing... the messaging... I really didn't vibe with.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 2, 2025

Simplicity is power, and the lean initial premise here is as potent as it gets... The inexorable, creeping chill of this uncanny game of What's the time, Mr Wolf? dissipates almost entirely, though, during a convoluted third act.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 1, 2025

Like a particularly concise, purposefully elliptical short story, The Woman in the Yard quickly milks this beguiling, WTF-is-going-on-here? scenario for all the dread it’s worth.

| Apr 1, 2025

More unsettling than outright terrifying, The Woman in the Yard is smaller-scale horror that works as a return to fundamentals for a talented filmmaker, and is further proof of Danielle Deadwyler’s immense skill as a lead performer.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Apr 1, 2025
