Scary Movie, And That’s A Pact

I’ve come to expect that when watching most genre films whether it’s rom coms, action films or horror that originality isn’t going to be the main thig going for it…as long as it does what it does well. That’s an apt way to describe The Pact which in many ways in one part J-Horror and one part Poltergeist. This time it’s not a little girl that’s gone missing but a young mother who may have supernaturally disappeared into the closet of her recently deceased mother’s house. It’s up to her rebellious, loner sister to find out what’s going on in the house).

This is an extremely well made ghost story that is slow burn and patient in its execution (All the better for building nail biting suspense), well acted (especially by lead Caity Lotz in a complex multi-layer performance) and with a down to earth twist I didn’t see coming.

The Pact may be the same old shit but it’s damn good shit.
