Spoonful Of Sugar Review: A Welcomed Dose Of Horror Goodness

Isn't it funny that they named a horror movie after the famous Mary Poppins song? No matter what people think of the movie, the title alone gives it a sense of humor. Directed by Mercedes Bryce Morgan , Sugar Spoon is a psychological horror movie that stands out for its focus on character development rather than relying on a lot of predictable scares. It takes viewers on a fun journey through the minds of a family and their caring parent, Johnny.

From the start, it becomes clear that Johnny is anything but ordinary. Among his other strange traits, he is taciturn and has a severe allergy. The family hires a young woman named Millicent and realizes that a child like Johnny needs a caregiver of exceptional skill and patience.

At first glance, Millicent appears to be an average young woman with ambitious goals and a likable personality. However, as the film progresses, interesting secrets are revealed that shed light on the original character traits of her and her family. Although the film lacks originality, it is still entertaining and respectful of its short running time of 94 minutes. If you are looking for a scary and twisted horror experience, this is the movie for you.

The extraordinary performances of Morgan Saylor and Danilo Crovetti add greatly to the film's appeal. Saylor makes a remarkable transformation as Millicent, a truly terrifying character whose motives remain hidden from us from the start. As the story progresses, we gradually learn more about Millicent and her fearsome habits.

Like Johnny, Crovetti gives an inspired performance. Although he has no lines, he manages to portray the "scary little dude" through his eyes, body language, and facial expressions, while conveying a sense of unease.

Unfortunately, there are moments in the movie that remind us of the original Lifetime movie. The dialogue is often weak and there are romantic scenes that can elicit vitriolic reactions. In general, Soonful of Sugar surprised me and left a positive impression.

While not revolutionizing the horror genre, the film delivers an entertaining experience enhanced by Morgan Saylor's captivating performance. It won't be one of those movies moviegoers will be talking about for years, but it's definitely an entertaining movie with more than enough good stuff. I'm very excited to see what the next Mercedes boss, Bryce Morgan, will do, because he certainly has promise.

Additionally, the film's atmospheric cinematography adds visual flair to the narrative. The use of shadows, dimly lit rooms, and exotic locations really create suspense and suspense. The sound design also deserves praise, as it skillfully builds suspense and enhances the overall creep of the narrative.

One aspect that sets Spoonful of Sugar apart from many other horror films is its exploration of deeper themes. The film explores the entanglements of family relationships, the consequences of unrestrained ambition, and the blurring of the lines between normalcy and madness. These motivating elements enhance the viewing experience and make the movie more than just scary.

Despite its flaws, Spoonful of Sugar manages to keep viewers entertained and mesmerized throughout its run. It may not reinvent the genre, but it's a solid entry that horror fans will find enjoyable. If you are in the mood for a psychological thriller based on suspense and feature stories, you must watch this movie. Blending a spooky atmosphere, solid performances, and intriguing mysteries, Spoonful of Sugar is a treat for horror fans looking for something a little different.
