Jaume Collet-Serra's 'The Woman in the Yard' Released

Jaume Collet-Serra's latest horror movie, 'The Woman in the Yard,' released on March 28, 2025, follows Ramona, played by Danielle Deadwyler, a widow recovering from a car accident that killed her husband, as she faces a mysterious woman in black who appears in her yard with ominous intentions. Critics like Variety’s Owen Gleiberman and Mashable’s Siddhant Adlakha criticize the film for its lack of originality and tension, while others highlight the strong performances by Deadwyler and Okwui Okpokwasili. Despite its atmospheric setting and psychological themes, the film has been described as derivative and lacking in genuine scares. Distributed by Universal Pictures and produced by Blumhouse Productions, the film has a predominantly African American cast and is rated PG-13.
