Nice concept, unfortunately it doesn't fullfill it's premise.

When I read the synopsis, I thought:" great, finally a horror that isn't about some group of friends getting killed, or a family moving into a haunted house etc.". Well, sadly it doesn't deliver what it could have been.The story starts with the main character, a painting restorator, travels to Italy for a (duh!) painting restoration job. Along te way she meets some guys, who are traveling to a different destination but end as prisoners in the same mansion.Here it already starts to go wrong. The movie immediately descends into torture p0rn the moment those prisoners are shown, which distracts from the supernatural theme and add little to the story. And who is that fat inbred motherf'er walking down below ? Why is he wearing that goofy face paint ? He adds little to the story other than just being the person who carries out some mundane torture scenes.The so-called well, that the movie is named after, actually plays a little negligible role in the whole scheme of things, and maybe a different title would be appropriate. The ending is a total letdown and anti-climax, with lackluster acting of nearly every character involved except maybe Lauren LaVera, who somewhat manages to carry the whole thing and make the best of it.It's a shame, because this movie really had potential. Oh well, I'm sure all those low IQ gore hounds that infest the horror fan base will get some enjoyment out of this.

Literally just gore.

It's like lemonade. Little substance.Were it not for the annoying sickening gore, it would be something to leave on in the background and occasionally glance up at.With the gore you can't even do that.Not once does it make you feel horrified, terrified, or thrilled in any way, and it doesn't grip you with intrigue, characters, or plot. You feel calm and occasionally disgusted. If the genre was called "disgust" instead of "horror" it would make sense. This way however, it's just not well made. If you want to watch gore go look at a slaughterhouse.The cinematography is basic, the acting ok, the audio between irritating and incomprehensible. At one point a character repeatedly calls out for "tony". And i could have sworn it was "charlie"It got 4 stars, because while it is nauseating and pointless, it isn't actively evil and damaging, and the plot is actually somewhat interesting.

Lower Your Expectations

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. 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. That doesn't always happen in low-budget films. However, just because we aren't left hanging doesn't mean the story is necessarily all that great. I think a better director could have made something people would remember and tell others about. 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.
