Review of The Wife

The Wife (2021)
3/10
A horror film which fails to scare you
30 March 2021
Going by the reviews, I was expecting somewhat scary movie but the movie is not at all scary. This sums up the review actually. If a horror movie fails to scare even a bit, it fails.

The plot of the movie is so very predictible. A couple moves into a new house and began to experience new happenings. The wife took some help of a professor and soon the old mystry begins to unfold.

The story is pretty much average and some very old cliche tactics they used in the movie to scare the audience. I mean come on, we have seen these tactics in hundreds of film and these don't work anymore.

The story moves from one plot to another without any explanations. I agree, you don't need an explanation in a predictible script but then scenes should look convincing.

Sarmad Khan's direction is pointless. No any special mention for him. There's hardly anything he should be given credit.

Actors are pretty average ones. Sayani Datta is pretty but lacks convinction. Gurmeet Choudhary tries and does a decent job but lacks conviction. There's a thing with TV actors, they refuse to come out of television when they are facing camera for a feature film. That's the main reason why most of the TV actors fails to make a mark in cinemas.

All in all, Avoid this one. There's pretty much amazing scary movies out there.
