Lauren Lavera stated that she has only seen part of this film
Synopsis
A budding art restorer travels to a small Italian village to bring a medieval painting back to its former glory. Little does she know she is placing her life in danger from an evil curse and a monster born of myth and brutal pain..
I didn't know anything about The Well before watching
I expected a very low-effort, straight-to-streaming horror movie that would be instantly forgettable. As it turned out, I was surprised at how much this film had going on.First of all, I thought the story was plotted better than the average direct-to-video dissapointment.
It mostly follows the main character, Lisa, who has a difficult task to complete
She's basically being haunted while staying in a mansion where she has an important job to finish. Even though she has some distressing experiences, we are given a good reason why she can't just up and leave.
That doesn't always happen in low-budget films
The movie also cuts back and forth between another set of characters who are being held captive, and for most of the movie, I was worried that the two plotlines might not fully interesect. However, everything eventually ties together, and we get a full resolution to all of the different elements that the movie introduced.
I think a better director could have made something people would remember and tell others about
However, just because we aren't left hanging doesn't mean the story is necessarily all that great. Even so, The Well is worth a watch if you're in the mood for a briskly paced supernatural horror film–as long as you aren't expecting anything above average.
