Thanks for the memories!
... View MoreIt's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
... View MoreAmazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
... View MoreIf you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
... View MoreAnother low budget film that delivers! Great cast and story. I actually watched it because I wanted to see what Casper was doing in a horror movie, a handsome Hollywood B actor who has been relegated to mainly weak films. This might be one of his best roles! I got to make this comment as well..one thing that makes this film work so good is the house they used for the set.. just perfect. Caty Lotz was stellar as the lead give this movie a chance and avoid all of the bad reviews. This film is scarier than the recent batch of Blumhouse "big" productions!
... View MoreNicole Barlow (Agnes Bruckner) is organizing her mother's funeral but her sister Annie (Caity Lotz) is reluctant to come. Nicole disappears in her mother's home. Annie arrives and attends the funeral while Nicole is missing. Cousin Liz, Nicole's daughter Eva and Annie return to mother's home. Liz goes missing. Nicole is attacked by an invisible force and barely escapes with Eva. The police doesn't believe her. Officer Bill Creek investigates with Annie and they find a mysterious room. She takes psychic Stevie and Stevie's brother Giles to the house.The movie starts off confused and not that compelling. Bruckner starts but she's not the lead. It's an opportunity to do something scary to open this movie but it doesn't do that. It's a bit of a muddle as Caity Lotz takes over. Haley Hudson makes a nice appearance as a weird psychic. It starts an interesting better atmospheric second half.
... View MoreIt's a low budget horror movie, but not cheesy in the least. There is no cheesy fake blood and gore, no sex crazed teenagers, and no topples bubble headed blond's running from a psycho killer.No cheap thrills here, just a very complex and layered plot with plenty of twist and turns. The movie never once lost my attention nor did I ever get lost in the plot. The movie moved slow enough to build likable characters and to build up suspense, but also wasn't so slow that it lost my interest.I loved watching Annie as she went through the motions of loss and anger and then fear, and then ultimately the courage to discover clues and dig up old family secrets.
... View More"The Pact" (2012) was Written and Directed by Nicholas McCarthy, It is a quite and densely woven little ghost story. It is well acted, all around. Spoiler Alerts ahead.The action centers around Annie, played by Caity Lotz, who has returned to her old home in San Pedro, for her Mothers funeral. There are strange going's on at the house, and Annie's relatives start disappearing. Even Investigator Creek, played by Casper Van Dien, is aware that something is not right with the house. With a lot of investigation by Annie, with the help of her mothers ghost, She discovers a much darker secret, that the house concealed, involving a rather nasty serial killer Charles Barlow, aka Judas. played by Mark Steger. The entire tone of the movie is subdued, but when the shock effects hit, they are very effective. The sound design of the film well contributes to the tension and mood that the film develops. The music score by Ronan Landa personal and almost meditative.This movie is not a scare a minute, effects laden juvenile horror film. It slowly develops its case, and allows significant intelligence on the part of the viewer to help fit the pieces together. Some might be turned off by the deliberate pace, too slow for those weened on the, "Paranormal" "Insidious" roller coaster paced horror films. Not I , I found it engrossing and surprisingly adult. and will give it a strong Eight, out of Ten stars. Well done
