The Beach House

The beach house adheres to a lot of the classical sci-fi and horror tropes, it's reminiscent of alien and the mist. But it manages to surprise you enough to keep you entertained and tense. The special effects are well done, the creatures mysterious but familiar enough to make you believe they could exist. The strong female lead and the aesthetics are a plus.

If you're not into genre movies, this is not for you. And I am not talking about teenagers horrors films, that are filled with cheap jump scares and special effects, that actually don't work at all. This movie is for audiences that enjoy the ride of building an atmosphere, escalating this until you really are ready to its final destination. While this is not an unforgettable horror film, it will really catch your attention and makes you feel uncomfortable again and again from the beginning, where it depicts common yet weird social situations, till the climax and the conclusion of the story, with some scary dreamlike moments. Ignore the low rating given by some viewers and give to this movie a chance.

It was kinda cool at times. We compromised and we will give it a 5. There were some okay scenes. Tiny twist, maybe. Not a great ending. But oh well. It was really fine, if you wanna watch it you might enjoy it. It was somewhat enjoyable.

The Beach House's relatively short runtime is filled with a sense of impending doom. It's slow to get started, but once the infection begins the film manages to offer up enough dread to keep you locked in. Well-acted and plenty of eerie atmosphere. Overall, this turned out to be a pleasant surprise. It's far from perfect and suffers from a few cliches and dumb character moments. There is one particular reveal in the last block that disturbed me. I always find the scariest films revolve around body horror and what Mother Nature could have in store for us. I highly recommend watching something a little more upbeat after you finish it. The film has managed to stay on my mind the last few days.

This is a genuinely creepy low budget horror but the horror is held back by a confusing series of plot points and ideas that are never really tied together. A young couple heads to a family beach house to get away from things only to find an older couple also staying there. They get along okay until a series of strange events seems to lead to an unexplained infection that slowly progresses through the group. Things get a little trippy and the viewer faces the same struggles as the characters finding it difficult to know what is real. There are various possible sources for the infection and its unclear whether they are interconnected or unrelated. One characters explanation of her study goals seems like some Obvious exposition to educate the viewer on a possible source of the infection. The cast were fairly good and they helped to build the creepiness but the direction left things a little too confusing for real horror to build. Worth a watch but could have been better.
