The Pact (2012)

REVIEWER RATING: 
7/10


Modern indie films are generally hit or miss, but we occasionally get a gem in the bunch, which is what I would consider The Pact-- a film that's based on the short with the same name from writer/director Nicholas McCarthy. The movie is proof that with the right talent, indie films can still overshadow bigger-budgeted mainstream horror pics.

The story focuses on a young woman who returns to her childhood home after the death of her mother. While staying the night she finds herself plagued with strange noises and an eerie sense of someone or something else there. It's not until the following night that the presence in the house makes itself known, as she's thrown around by an invisible entity after her cousin suddenly disappears. She somehow makes it out've the house with her niece safely in her arms. Naturally the authorities are stumped and she's forced to dig into her family's past and seek the aid from a local psychic in an attempt to discover a solution to her paranormal dilemma.

The Pale Door (2020)

REVIEWER RATING: 
6/10

Director Aaron B. Koontz (Camera Obscura) teams up with Keith Lansdale (son of novelist Joe R. Lansdale) to bring us this horror-western mashup that I've been anxiously anticipating since I first learned about it some years back.

The Park (2023)

REVIEWER RATING: 
5/10

The Park is an ambitious little indie movie from first time director Shal Ngo, who until now has done only short films. I’m unfamiliar with his work but am a fan of survival/post-apoc-type movies, so I went in hoping for a decent effort from the subgenre.
