Haunt (2019)
What happened?
I chose this to watch at midnight going into Halloween, and I'm not disappointed on my choice but more so on what happened in the second half of the film.
The initially annoying, young cast becomes hard to root against once they find themselves in trouble - but that care quickly fades as absolutely cringe-inducing decisions and plot points (and holes) are revealed to us. I don't know why the primary protagonist makes so many silly decisions in the latter half of the movie, and I am NOT the type of person who goes through horror films pointing out stupid character choices (I love b-horror and most of all I know that bad decisions need to come about to make a slasher film truly work, especially when homage is to be paid/expected) but this movie is truly an outlier and truly stands out because I did not expect it to go this way, lmao.
Seriously, watch the film and you'll realize how silly, cheesy and absolutely brainless the cast (and overall film logic) becomes--and this is NOT in the good way.
Still really love this movie though, and I would recommend watching it. Amazing gore effects, very unique takes on classic elements of horror (especially at first) and an initially (and somewhat overall) intriguing plot save this movie from its dismal, cringeworthy second leg.... Can't stress that enough.
Strong 7 to a weak 8 out of 10 for me.
