A Casa do Medo: Incidente em 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.

Martyrs blew me away. The Tall Man didn't. So what did I think of director Pascal Laugier's latest effort? I loved t! Very impressed. It starts off with a family, an ice cream van and an incredibly creepy house. Looked to me like it could be a Rob Zombie movie, and funnily enough within minutes one of the characters remarks that the house looks like it could belong to Mr Z! Now I am a fan of Rob Z but Incident was more polished than any of his movies. If found Incident to be visually superb, the creepy house in question, crammed with dolls, is amazing. The film is genuinely frightening with some good jump scares. It's brutal, twisted and dark. There are some great twists and the plot never slows down, it held my attention throughout. Camera work, musical score and acting are all excellent. The only two things that I didn't like was the use of some CGI and, without giving away spoilers, I felt that the end was a bit too easy and slightly unsatisfying. After such a thrilling ride I felt that it could have been better. Overall, another class effort from Monsieur Laugier. I shall look forward to watching this again, best film that I have seen so far this year.

Don't let the title deceive you. This is not a ghost movie like "Conjuring". This is more like "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Hostel"

For comparison, I give only 5 stars for "A Quiet Place" in regards to 'horror'. Ghostland is way better than "A Quiet Place".

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.

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.)
