The film starts as a slow burn leading up to the mayhem and the build was worth that wait! The creepy factor is so good and at times really uncomfortable (as it should be for a horror/thriller). The blood and gore and deaths are so well done - being shocking and believable. My favorite thing about this film is that it is truly driven by the main characters - the relationship between Katie and Will and their individual journies. The antics of the cult are an added bonus of creepy, weirdness, as some of what you expect to happen does, but other moments are still shocking and disturbing. Katie and Will pull you along with the story and have a relatability that makes you want to see one or both of them make it out of this!
This starts with a terrible accident where a woman dies. In the aftermath, her widowed husband tries to make sense of what has happened whilst his family rally around him. I could not have guessed where this was going and was pleasantly surprised with the quality of this movie. It has some truly scary moments and bags of atmosphere. The acting feels natural and whilst this isn't a mega budget production, it shows real promise for all the key players. I will certainly be looking out for other movies from this team. It's dark and brooding but not in a contrived way. Some scenes are difficult to watch but not lingering. I'd definitely recommend this, give it a go!
This movie hits so many different horror movie elements while still keeping you on your toes and has a compelling storyline with twist and turns I seriously didn't see coming! I Would highly recommend this movie to anyone who loves this genre 10/10!! The creative minds behind this movie have also started a mini series on YouTube that is TO DIE FOR!!! If you love horror and thriller movies then you and your friends will be on the edge of your seats in the ever thickening plot twists that makes up the story behind The Burned Over District! These up and coming directors have it all down pat with this movie!!

The Burned Over District offers a compelling mix of horror, suspense, love, and gore, making for a gripping viewing experience. Throughout the film, a tangible sense of unease keeps audiences on the edge of their seats, while Mike Chibante's exceptional score further enhances the atmosphere. Vince and James Coleman have crafted a weighty narrative that begins explosively and gradually unfolds into unexpected territory. Their work on this film showcases their talent and creativity, offering a refreshing departure from conventional storytelling. As a viewer, I found it exhilarating to watch something different and look forward to seeing more from the Coleman Brothers in the future. Overall, I would rate The Burned Over District a perfect 10/10 for its outstanding execution and immersive storytelling.
