A slow-burn nightmare that explores the fragility of the mind and the sinister side of innocence.
User Reviews
ScaryFan88 – 7/10
“I'm a sucker for psychological horror, and Mulm delivers on that front. The creeping dread and the kid's eerie performance really got under my skin. It's not jump-scare heavy, but the atmosphere is thick and makes you feel as trapped as Jacob does.”
NightStalker22 – 5/10
“For me, this was a mixed bag. The premise was promising, but the pacing felt too slow, and the ending left me wanting more. Still, the cinematography was beautiful, and the stone portals added an interesting creepy touch.”
CinePhantom – 6/10
“Mulm has some genuinely unsettling moments that I appreciated, but it never fully commits to being truly scary. The acting was solid, especially from the dad, but the story felt a bit too familiar. It's decent for a slow-burn horror night, just don't expect to be terrified.”
GoreHound – 4/10
“I went in expecting more intense horror, but this was mostly a drama with a touch of supernatural. The creep factor was there in the child's actions, but it didn't scare me much. Maybe it's just not my cup of tea, but I struggled to stay engaged.”
