Short summary
Welcome home is chilling but not overly frightening example of a couple haunted by a strange, unsettling figure. The mysterious tone begins at the offset with an eerie soundtrack and continues throughout the film. The acting at good at times and at others isn't great, but despite that model, Emily Ratajkowski’s acting is surprisingly decent. However this is made up for with the film's stunning cinematography. The camera shots are well thought out, cleverly executed, and help to set the mood of the film. Along with the beautiful Italian scenery, the long panning shots help to capture the environment's beauty and the close ups help to focus on small intricate details, aiding the sense of mystery. The sexual moments, while vital to some aspects of the film, are overused and eventually become more of a joke that a steamy moment between lovers and therefore fail in their purpose. While the climax of Welcome home initially appears to be predictable, the final ending is truly unexpected, which makes the overall film experience enjoyable to say the least.
Turn up reviews recommend you TURN UP to see the movie. So grab some popcorn and maybe bring some friends along with you.
So should you TURN UP to see this movie or TURN DOWN an invite?
