The Crooked Man (2016 TV Movie)
3/10
The writing, dialogue and acting are all absolutely terrible

Crooked Man (2016) is currently available on Tubi. The storyline follows a children's nursery rhyme that causes the Crooked Man to appear and begin killing. When a group of young girls sing the rhyme one of the children is killed and another young lady is blamed for the murder. Years later a series of murders start happening where the original child died. The young lady returns to her original home to try and stop the Crooked Man.

This movie is directed by Jesse Holland (Yellow Brick Road) and stars Michael Jai White (Spawn), Angelique Rivera (Eat Brains Love), Cameron Jebo (NCIS), Reilly Brooke Stith (Orange is the New Black) and Amber Benson (The Crush).

This storyline feels like it was stolen directly from A Nightmare on Elm Street. The premise of the movie is very average. I did enjoy the Crooked Man, though he looked like the creature from Jeepers Creepers. They did do a good with his makeup and mouth motions that made him creepy. The writing, dialogue and acting are all absolutely terrible, unfortunately.

Overall this is a below average addition to the horror genre that's only worth watching for horror genre diehards. I would score this a 3/10 and recommend skipping.
