Karl Hardman never quite convinces

Karl Hardman's contribution as Harry Cooper (Archival Footage) gives They Came from the Attic (2022) a more specific texture. The performance is functional, but it does not leave much after the scene ends. It is not a careless performance, but it feels under-shaped. Several choices feel too broad for what the scene seems to require. I wanted more specificity, especially in the emotional transitions. That overall aftertaste is what stayed with me after the credits.
