Who is judas in the pact

McCarthy creates some very chilling atmosphere and his simple old school visual style is quite effective in enhancing that. I liked that his FX are mostly done in camera with good old fashion smoke and mirrors and the man certainly knows how to build tension and gives us a few good scares. We could have used a bit more of the investigation aspects of the story so things had the illusion of some degree of difficulty to increase their dramatic weight.

Suffice to say there are a few little plot holes that might evoke some questions, but nothing detrimental to the overall effect of this very unsettling film.

There is also some nice cinematography by Bridger Neilson and an effective score by Ronen Landa to add to the overall mood. McCarthy gets good work from a fairly small cast. Moreno is likable as Leigh.

Rivera also gives us a likable character in the artistic younger sister Vera, who is even less prepared to deal with this demonic entity especially since she is also unaware that she has been targeted. When the film switches focus to her in the second half, she handles it well as she begins to investigate into what is going on and why.

The rest of the supporting cast do well in their parts including a brief appearance by Rob Zombie favorite Daniel Roebuck as the eager to sell homeowner and a creepy turn by young Ava Acres as a little girl who figures into the story later on. I think there are some very good things to come from McCarthy if he maintains his progression and, at the very least, he has delivered two spooky chillers so far.

Netflix seems to be the go-to place to watch horror movies these days, so MonsterZero NJ has put together a list of twenty-five worth watching fright flicks screaming…oops, streaming…right now!

One of the most interesting things about this film is actually the title. Annie has a necklace that she says is the only thing that her mother ever gave her. The pact seems to be between the mother and her brother—she knew what he was doing and she proceeded to hide him in a hidden room in the house. Now, I liked this mystery aspect to the movie and give it five out of five stars, but I know there are people out there who did not.

My question to you dear reader is do you think that The Pact would have gotten a better rating on Rotten Tomatoes if it had been less subtle when it came to these details?

Although we're enjoying this view, that poor girl is clearly terrified When the creepy, blind seer says it's time to go, then it's time to go! At the point where the upside-down crucifix abruptly slides across the hand-made Ouija Board on the floor, I'm out of there.

Know what else works? Caity Lotz in various stages of undress, that's what. We're not sure either, Caity.
