“Cobweb” (** out of four) was a moldy collection of horror cliches about an 8-year old (Woody Norman) who starts hearing voices from within the walls of his house which unearth the sinister truth behind the facade of his picture-perfect parents (Lizzy Caplan and Antony Starr) and perilous secrets they may be hiding. Yet another “Sixth Sense”/”Shining”/”Sinister” knockoff about a possessed child and paranormal activity but marginally better than others in the genre due to good acting and proficient filmmaking. Film is actually based on the Edgar Allen Poe short story “The Telltale Heart.”
