I don’t always think of quality when I find a little-known horror film on Netflix.
I worry about the cliches, bad acting, awful CGI, and all the tropes.
So a horror film about a group of twenty-somethings in a haunted house attraction should ring alarm bells - the execution is flawless.
Acting, good.
Characters, likeable.
Dialogue, believable.
Gore, it’s there but the story and scares don’t rely on it.
Set-up, actually believable.
SFX, subtle and effective
And what you’re left with is a really solid horror film you’ll be recommending to your friends as one of the biggest surprises this Halloween.
