After suffering a mild stroke, Judith Albright reluctantly moves into a historic nursing home where she becomes convinced a supernatural force is killing the residents.
A woman called Judith Albright moves into a nursing facility after suffering a stroke. After some while, she begins to suspect that the establishment’s residents are being preyed upon by a mysterious power. Judith wants to get away from this menace, but she needs to persuade everyone around her that she doesn’t require supported living.
There aren’t many lovely nursing facilities in horror film history, and “The Manor’s” clear storyline is no exception. The film, written and directed by Axelle Carolyn for Amazon’s “Welcome to the Blumhouse” series, follows a 70-year-old woman who loses her agency after being placed in a home and grilled by its figureheads about the bizarre, terrible things she witnesses at night. The home is eventually able to turn her daughter and loving grandson against her, for a reason we don’t realise until the very end.

The notion isn’t so much unsettling as it is tiresome; Barbara Hershey’s central character Tabitha is made to appear increasingly helpless in the film’s few psychological thrills, but we’re stuck with a bland uneasiness for the whole of the picture.
The environment has an aggressive blandness to it outside of Hershey’s performance, which isn’t helped by its flat, TV-ready looks.
Many of Tabitha’s contacts with facility personnel or fellow residents (such as her trio of new acquaintances) reeks of exposition or are so full of niceties that everything feels like the place-holding generic ness of extras in a movie taking over.
The way it makes these folks reflect on the past, in particular, plays out like a simulation of individuals pining for their youth; of course, they used to consume weed and dance.
The picture lacks texture and has few ideas, relying instead on padding to keep an eye out for obvious signs while “The Manor” rushes to get its few ideas to the forefront.
“The Manor” exacerbates the problem with the “Welcome to the Blumhouse” films in that the most of them (with the exception of writer/director Zu Quirke’s “Nocturne” from last year) should have been episodes or shorts.
We don’t believe how everyone says she’s delusional, and we just want to know why she’s screaming at night. That stretch to turn a single idea into a feature becomes obvious here with far too many slow scenes, all based on the anticipation of what Judith is seeing—we don’t believe how everyone says she’s delusional, and we just want to know why she’s screaming at night.
“The Manor” also has a history of hurrying, as evidenced by one point when she is entirely unconcerned about “what will happen if she gets caught?” despite the fact that prior instances had set her up for concern.
Carolyn, at the very least, has a wacky enough conclusion or explanation for everything. Even though you’re made aware of a few ridiculous sections throughout, “The Manor” has no tact, and its hammy jump-scares involving some form of dark entity aren’t really what I expected.
The closing few minutes of this film, like “Madres,” which was released this week, highlight an idea that would have been more interesting to explore in depth rather than cramming everything in for a twist that leaves everyone disappointed.
