Nolan, Samuel: Never let go

Story

A family that has been haunted by an evil spirit for years. Their safety and surroundings are called into question when one of the children wonders if the evil is real. Mark Romanek was tapped to direct the film when it was titled “Mother Land,” with Alexandre Aja taking over directing duties a month later.

First off, my review: I really enjoyed this movie

The Big Rock Candy Mountain Written by Harry McClintock Starring Van Hunt. It’s a solid psychological horror that keeps you guessing the whole time. The movie does a great job of creating a creepy and mysterious atmosphere that draws you in and makes you feel uneasy.

They don’t rely on them just to scare you every other minute

What I liked most is how it keeps you thinking – there were a lot of moments where I wasn’t sure what was real and what wasn’t. It’s a really nice change from the usual horror movies that spell everything out for you. The plot is interesting and engaging, and unlike most horror movies today, the jump scares are used only when they really build up the tension.

I feel like a lot of people don’t appreciate good horror anymore

The acting is also really good – it helps make everything feel more real and adds to the creepy atmosphere. Now, as for my rant about horror movie reviews: after watching it, I was excited to read some reviews and see if people shared my thoughts, but I was surprised by how many people complained. Some said the plot was “too confusing,” or that there weren’t enough jump scares, or they just didn’t get it because they were distracted by their phones for half the movie.

It can’t just be me who thinks like this, can it?

They’d rather watch movies filled with cheap jump scares and predictable plots, rather than something that actually makes them think. It’s frustrating because real, scary horror movies are becoming so rare these days, and I’m worried about where the genre is headed if this is what people want.
