S3E16: The Woman in the Yard

from Ric's Horror Network · host Ric

Not every horror movie needs blood and screams. Some of them just sit on your porch in broad daylight and ask hard questions. This week I’m reviewing The Woman in the Yard—a slow-burn psychological thriller that swaps jump scares for quiet dread and lawn ghost metaphors. It’s PG-13, but don’t let that fool you. The trauma hits harder than most R-rated gore fests. I break down what worked, what didn’t, and why haunted porches might be the new haunted basements.00:00 - Intro!02:08 - Four Fun Film Facts with Billy the AI05:00 - What kind of Horror Film is this?08:17 - Is it scary?10:10 - The Tools of Terror12:41 - Things I liked14:17 - Things I didn't like16:29 - Did I Fall Asleep Watching it?17:51 - Does it pass the R.I.C Test?18:59 - Ric's Rating19:22 - Billy's Rating19:54 - Sign off#TheWomanInTheYard #PsychologicalHorror #RicAlonzo #BlackHorror #RicsHorrorReview #HauntedHouseFilm #SlowBurnHorror #MentalHealthInFilm #A24Vibes #PG13Horror #RicsHorrorNetwork
