Lullaby (2022) Full Movie | M-Cinema24


A new mother discovers a lullaby in an ancient book and soon regards the song as a blessing, but her world transforms into a nightmare when the lullaby brings forth the ancient demon Lilith.

Lullaby, not to be confused with The Lullaby, is the new film from John R. Leonetti (Annabelle, Wish Upon), This time, working from a script by former WWE writer Alex Greenfield and Ben Powell, who also co-wrote The Sand, he’s unleashing the wrath of Lilith (Kira Guloien, Night Cries, Women Talking) on new parents Rachel (Oona Chaplin, ReAlive, Anchor and Hope) and John (Ramón Rodríguez, Iron Fist, Need for Speed).

As the film opens the couple gets a package of baby things from Rachel’s mother. They belonged to Rachel’s sister Vivian (Liane Balaban, Woman in Car, Meditation Park) who lost both her baby and her husband under strange circumstances. Why her mother would send them and why they would actually use them is one of life’s great mysteries.

Becoming a parent is one of the scariest and most stressful parts of a person’s life and the makers of Lullaby understand that and incorporate the effects of sleep deprivation, postpartum body image issues and the overwhelming fear of something happening to the child into the script.

The problem is, the script wastes them on things we’ve seen so many times before. Electronics malfunctioning, a ghostly baby crying in the night, the lights go out in a thunderstorm for maximum jump scare potential, an evil face peering out of a closet. We’ve seen these so many times before that it feels like a modern horror’s greatest hits playlist. To his credit, Leonetti does stage them with some conviction but by this point, they’ve pretty much lost their power to shock beyond a cheap jump scare.

And there is something hiding in that darkness, Lilith’s own deformed children who serve as her minions. They should be disturbing to look at, but the film’s CGI fails at what should have been a fairly easy task and they look about as scary as The Garbage Pail Kids. There’s also a scene in a room full of babies that, whether CGI or practical effects, look so much like cheap rubber dolls I couldn’t help laughing.

In the end, Lullaby is a good-looking but vapid and predictable story that comes up well short of other similar films. It also strengthens the feeling that Annabelle was a fluke and Leonetti, who made his directorial debut with Mortal Kombat: Annihilation should consider going back to cinematography where he has a much more impressive set of credits.

When I stumbled upon the 2022 horror movie "Lullaby" here late in 2022, of course I had to watch it, as I have been enjoying horror movies ever since the early 1980s. Sure, I had never heard about "Lullaby" prior to sitting down to watch it, so I wasn't exactly harboring any expectations for the movie.

Writers Alex Greenfield and Ben Powell managed to put together an entertaining enough script for the movie. And while the movie was enjoyable enough, it started to lose its momentum in the last quarter of the movie. And as for the ending, well, let's just say it was generic and predictable.

There is a good atmosphere in the movie throughout the 89 minutes that the movie ran for, and the special effects definitely helped to bring the movie to life on the screen.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in "Lullaby", but they had some good actors and actresses to portray the various characters and roles, and that definitely also added something to the movie.

However, the movie was struggling with it being a tad too generic, and you always knew what would happen, more or less. So director John R. Leonetti wasn't exactly ahead of the audience much to be able to throw the audience a curveball or two as the narrative unfolded.

If you enjoy horror movies, then by all means give "Lullaby" a go. It is not an outstanding horror movie, nor a particularly memorable one, but it makes for an adequate viewing and turned out to be entertaining enough for what it was. This is, however, not a movie that warrants more than a single viewing.

My rating of "Lullaby" lands on a five out of ten stars.
