The Curse of Hobbes House is a spooky horror film from 2020, directed by Juliane Block and starring Mhairi Calvey, Makenna Guyler and Waleed Elgadi. The film follows Jane (Guyler), who has recently inherited her estranged late grandfather's mansion. She decides to go check it out with her artist boyfriend, but when they arrive they discover that the house is not as abandoned as they thought.
As they begin to explore the mansion, they find that certain rooms seem to have a life of their own, and strange occurrences start happening that leave them feeling uneasy. At the same time, they discover that Jane's grandfather had been involved in some sort of mysterious experiments and was obsessed with immortality.
Soon, they find themselves trapped in the house with a group of strangers who were also invited there, each with their own hidden agendas. As the night progresses, it becomes clear that they are not alone in the mansion, and the curse that has haunted the Hobbes family for generations seems to have come to life once again.
The film has a good mix of jump scares and suspense, and the creepy atmosphere of the mansion is nicely done. The acting is solid, with Calvey being especially impressive as the enigmatic and sinister Ms. Lydia, who may hold the key to the curse.
One of the strengths of the film is its use of practical effects, which give a nice throwback to classic horror films. The film doesn't rely too heavily on CGI, and instead creates some really unsettling imagery using natural materials.
Ultimately, The Curse of Hobbes House is a decent horror flick that will satisfy fans of the genre. While it doesn't break any new ground, it has enough twists and turns to keep viewers engaged and a strong cast to root for. So, if you're looking for a spooky movie to watch on a dark and stormy night, this one might just be for you.
