Review of Behind You

Behind You (2020)
This movie dishes out justice worse than Stalin.

Warning: Spoilers
Very boring formula flick, with the usual boogeyman cliches and dreary, dumb kids. Perhaps it's low-budget, but it tries to emulate the big-budget Hollywood stinkers.

A dumb screenplay too. The woman allowing the older girl to go back into the house for her teddy bear was beyond stupid. The girl talking to the teddy bear in the first place was a very lame plot-device. The adults locking up the older girl was rather silly. The guy turning against his long-time friend - by actually listening to the older girl - lacked credibility. The young girl not helping aunt's male friend by simply stabbing into the air (because it worked earlier) but allowing him to stab himself - pretty weak.

Yeah, characters stabbing with pieces of mirror wildly into the air. That's the kind of movie this is.

If mirrors allow the demon to enter the world then get rid of the mirrors. Simple.

What a wonderful ending, huh? The girls whose negligence and stupidity caused the mayhem survived, while the adults both snuffed it due to the foolishness of these same girls. Nice. Two grieving girls get tortured by a demon, and the demon gets his revenge against the couple that killed it decades earlier. Nice. Stalin would have been proud.

So were these buffoon film-makers hoping for a sequel then? Sure, billions of people are clamoring to buy advance tickets already.
