“With a plot and setting that is far from original, u0026quot;Dwellingu0026quot; is able to inject a healthy dose of creepiness that makes up for most, but not all, of its flaws.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMostly devoid of gore and jump scares, this film relies heavily on suspense and glimpses of terror. Those solely looking for gruesomeness will be sorely disappointed, but fans of the supernatural should find enough scares to make this worth a watch. Iu0026#39;ll even give the film some credit for having more depth than most in the horror genre.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNow for the bad: the dialogue could not have been worse. Iu0026#39;m not convinced that the acting was all that bad, but the script left quite a bit to be desired. Plus, there were a few head scratching plot points that undoubtedly detracted from the film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDespite the flaws, of which there were plenty, the evil did just enough to overcome and earn a respectable score. 6.5/10”
