The Front Room review Brandy Norwood shines in muddled camp horror
Briefly

The Front Room merges campy humor with psychological horror, featuring Brandy Norwood as Belinda, a pregnant professor facing disrespect and manipulation from her overbearing stepmother-in-law.
Belinda's relationship with her husband Norman remains underdeveloped, with Norman portrayed as bland and passive, highlighting the film's challenges in fully realizing its characters.
The film positions itself in the realm of elevated horror yet leans into camp, as indicated by Brandy Norwood's enthusiastic encouragement for audience participation at the screening.
The Front Room's plot hinges on themes of familial obligation and financial desperation, reflected in Solange's insistence on moving into Belinda and Norman's home.
