THE CARETAKER REVIEWED
“The Caretaker” left me cold. It’s not a bad movie, it’s just not very interesting. Trying to pull cues from “The Changeling” and even “Flowers in the Attic”, the movie never gets its momentum going. Robert Blake’s ex-wife plays the crazy old lady that’s terrorizing her granddaughter. It turns out that the old chick is a witch and she’s killing the people that try to take over her life. Are you a fan of jump scares? Well, this movie lives and dies by its jump scares.
If you can swing that, then this is the film for you. If not, there is a litany of other horror movies to check out this October. Quite literally, I’m staring at a stack of 45 movies while I work this up. Check it out if you’re interested, but I’m not sure what the interest level is going to be for this movie. What can I say? They’re not all going to be winners, but at least this one wasn’t terrible. I just couldn’t keep myself awake through the last half of the movie. To each their own in terms of horror appeal.
