The Pact is a horror movie that's done in a way that makes it different to other horror movies at that time, and I'm talking about slow build up and suspense.

The story is about a Nicole (Bruckner) and Annie (Lotz) reluctantly return to their childhood home to pay their last respects. While staying overnight in the house, the sisters sense a mysterious presence in their midst: noises startling them in the night, objects moving about, a fallen picture of an unknown woman posed next to their mother. Annie begins experiencing a series of intense and disturbing dreams visions that lead her to uncover something terrible about her mothers past that is finally revealing itself.

Before seeing The Pact I looked at some of the reviews that the movie got and some was mostly positive, some alright but a lot of negative feedback from people who said the movie wasn't scary or even that well written. After seeing I can that the movie isn't flawless but it isn't bad as some pointed out, the movie dose have it's suspenseful moments and not the jump scare bullsh*t.

The Pact is a slow burner horror film with some scenes that don't come off scary just more like trying to be scary, but there are scenes in this that do come off creepy and at least the movie has a sense of atmosphere so it will be easy to build up something. All the performances in the movie was solid, the director did a fine job directing, the movie is a bit slow at times and some scenes that could have been scary but came off not that scary could have been effective with a little more work into it.

Overall The Pact is a okay horror movie that's worth checking out if your bored or it's a rainy day.… Expand

A very choppy isolated film with a disordered story and unintended unresolved sub plots a few cheap jump scares with no genuine atmosphere, forced character's and disappointing ending.

Worth the watch but nothing really that special, scares we're decent at best but only for the reason that music was turned up to 200% for every jumpscare.

A decent ghost movie with a twist. Low budget but not totally cheap, with a few nice effects. Instead of just the usual jump scares, it delivers two or three genuinely chilling moments, and I mean literal chills down the spine and suddenA decent ghost movie with a twist. Low budget but not totally cheap, with a few nice effects. Instead of just the usual jump scares, it delivers two or three genuinely chilling moments, and I mean literal chills down the spine and sudden goose bumps. A good ending too, but pretend the very last shot and the final song never happened, it's beyond cringy.… Expand
