Verdict on Come Home
Recap
This movie follows 2 couples spending time in a remote mountain but find themselves dealing with a forest spirit. However, it pushes them to their limits as they learn what is happening in the area.
Best Parts
The movie brings a mystery for city folk to understand and shows them out of their depths. It doesn’t hold back with them looking and acting out of place. The open woodlands are also beautiful to travel through.
Worst Parts
The story struggles to breakout of just strange and often finds itself moving too slowly. It doesn’t seem to get going and most of the events feel more like they escalate randomly, rather than gradually. This ends up making the pace difficult to keep up with, as the early slow pace doesn’t improve the final outcome.
Final Thoughts – Come Home struggles to get going and leaves us feeling like we wanted more.
