Incident in a Ghostland

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

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.

I have never heard anyone speak about this movie, and I was pleasantly surprised. Beth and Vera are two sisters live with their mother and at the start of the film are moving into their late aunts home, stereotypically full of horrible dolls and puzzle mirrors. Beth is a young aspiring horror writer and Vera is her typical teenage older sister, who thinks Beth is weird. An incident occurs where 2 people get into the house and attempt to kidnap the two girls and kill their mother, but the story has lots of plot twists surrounding what actually happened. The film is actually impressively made, the jump scares were executed well and I am honestly shocked that I have never heard about this film, as I would recommend it for any horror fans.

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.

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.
