Incident in a Ghostland

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.

Ghostland doesn't mess about. Ghostland throws everything in your face and makes it spin. Ghostland is raw, it is gruesome, and it won't let go. The horror isn't so much in whatever is happening, it is in being made so helplessly contained.

The performances drive it. Emilia Jones and Crystal Reed give raw horror, so every moment is a believable moment. The antagonists of this movie are gruesome, creepy, and so is this hellish home. The movie continues surprising, games of reality so it keeps your nerves in a constant position of unease.

It's not perfect. Some of it is a little too over-the-top, depending on surprise rather than on tension. The film is powerful, though, and it feels hurried in some bits. But it stays in your mind, under your skin in a way in which few horror films can.

It's intense, cringeworthy, and unflinchingly captivating. Painful to see, worth it for anyone who hungers for horror unvarnished. 7 of 10.

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.

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.

I don't think i have ever written a review here but i just had to write one for this movie. I have watched a huge amount of horrors and this movie is not just a movie with 3 jump-scares and call it a day. This movie had me on a small amount of fear for at least the last 70%. But the weird way that the horror element is brought here is just so disturbing that it completely sucked me up emotionally and physically. Very good acting, great twist in the story and just actually a great horror!

(i never wrote a review so i probably suck at this lol but i hope u understand.)
