Incident in a Ghostland

Oh, my god! Absolutely horrifying. We bond with the family right away, including hating Vera, but then...Spoilers should not be allowed for this movie. It is new. It is different. It is not a dime a dozen slasher. It IS a psychological roller coaster. If it were not for the male inside of me constantly yelling, "There are weapons all around you. Use them. Kill them. Help your mom!", I would give it a ten. Well worth your time, and if you can figure out how only 1:31 has passed, then you win.

It feels. It really does.

The movie is divided into two big sections, pre-twist and post-twist. If you are not new to the horror genre you will catch the "twist" pretty fast, but the movie doesn't emphasize on it a whole lot. Rather works with it and does its job well indeed. At first I felt like, come on, "I've seen this already, you can't surprise me with this". But then...

It is very atmospheric, it's brutal, it's hopeless, but what caught me is one emotional moment with the sisters, you will know it when you see it. It's unforgettable.

It has it's flaws but is well crafted overall. This movie was able to share it's emotion with me and I enjoyed it.

Not exactly scary, but 'Ghostland' certainly does reach some dark levels to produce a creepy and uncomfortable horror film.

It starts off pretty cliché but it quickly finds its own footing. I enjoy the way the storyline is portrayed, it never gets predictable which is always a positive in this genre. Most of the scares are the cheap, cop-out type, which stops the film being frightening. However, it makes up for it by creating tense, uneasy scenarios for the characters.

Crystal Reed and Emilia Jones produce what's necessary in the lead role of Beth, those two do rather carry proceedings but the other members of the (small) cast aren't a hindrance in any way; the premise focuses on Beth, so you'd expect Reed and Jones to stand out most.

I was locked in for it all, despite the fact I would've liked improved scare elements as opposed to average jump scares. Still, definitely worth watching.

From the director who brought Martyrs, this one is kind of different take in mixing horror into pysychological drama. That's why I think movie is interesting. Ghostland had the intense drama and eerie moments. I know that this is not as brutal as Martyrs had before but it is also bring back cringey moments. The plot keeps me guessing because of bringing back the past into present events. That's my main concern but I love the whole acting and cinematography had the creepy feeling into it. 7/10 for making me love psychological horror.

Hi there horror lover,

when I saw the trailer a month ago, it gave me a vibe of old skool Taxes Chainsaw Massacre. I realy don't know why actually :) So last night is was into a horror flick and thought , why not give it a try. Couldn't wait for Hereditary to release hahaa. And I must say, I was surprised. In a positive way! It is not mainstream and there is drama in it. As well as the twist, which reveals halfway. It's kinda phsycho and disturbed. I think I can catagorise it in the genre like Green Room or Split, which I loved of it's original. There a some minor plotholes, and the ending..... could have been better taken care off, but nevertheless.....above average. Njoy the disturbance :D 7 out of 10
