- Jennifer Patterson9 juli 2025I was hesitant because I've never been a horror movie person. A friend got to me, and because I trust him, I gave it a shot. OMGOODNESS!!! Both of the movies are fantastic! My favorite character is obviously Deputy So-and-So..
- dominicr2329 juli 2025so scary amazing movie
- Richard Gobin26 september 2025A genuinely scary movie with a chilling atmosphere.
- Alejandro Story19 oktober 2026Great acting, incredibly creepy atmosphere and some really well done jump scares. Those home videos are disturbing as hell. One of the few horror movies that actually manages to make me jump every time.
- Timeless Cinema25 augustus 2026Great atmosphere and presentation. It's a predictable yet enjoyable film.
- rg94008 juli 2026This was the last movie I had to watch from the Science of Scare list which ranks horror moves based on viewer heart rates and heart rate variance. This movie was ranked first, above every other entry in the list. This is actually my second time watching the movie. I don't remember much from my first watch outside of hating the ending, and I had rated it 5/10. This time, I went in with an open mind and let it wash over me, watching it in the dark and fully paying attention. This is a scary movie. A very scary movie. There are a lot of jump scares, some of which really made my heart pound. However, the real scares come from the quieter moments. The sequences where the audio isn't building up to a crescendo like the traditional horror movie trope. In fact, there is one sequence where he is just walking around his house in silence, brilliantly filmed and really effective at creating atmosphere. I was literally jumping at shadows, thinking there where things in wide shots that did not exist. There is this muted soundtrack with garbled children voices that plays during certain scenes that by itself is super creepy and distinctive. It also just has some really unsettling and upsetting subject matter. I can confirm that my heart rate was much higher than when I had watched a lot of the other movies on the list. I also just have to admire the technical craft of the movie. The imagery is memorable, and it doesn't rely on shaky cameras. Even if there is home footage, it isn't overly aged and instead moves slowly, deliberately, smoothly. There isn't an over-reliance on gore, yet it still feels a lot more violent than some of the bloodier movies. With effective jump scares, a heightened atmosphere, and a lingering impact, it really hits multiple checkboxes in terms of horror. Look, I still hate the ending. It is abrupt and jarring. While I get what it is doing thematically, it also feels like it doesn't land the message. Outside of Ethan Hawke's character, everyone else is basically a cardboard cutout, and had we gotten more time with the characters, maybe the ending would have worked better. The plot isn't super dynamic. These are all valid complaints, and I am sure that was my focus in my initial watch. However, if you are looking for a fright fest, this is about as good as it gets.
- Scream☆Queen27 september 2026Apparently, this is the scariest movie ever 🤨 It chapter 1 and 2 are literally scarier 🤣
- Sean McLaughlin25 september 2026Drunk reporter shows off the latest 2012 Apple tech to attempt to solve murders and his family (and myself) think he sucks - I think the people that watched this (and it's totally the scariest movie of all time!) on the heart rate monitors had congenital heart defects.
- Travis Belisle12 september 2026Great movie. I especially like the mythology behind the entity. Brief but memorable performance by Vincent D'Onofrio.
- Tyler Durden19 mei 2026Is good
- Kevin Ward7 juli 2025After seeing The Black Phone with my oldest son, we decided to check this out together since it seems to have many of the same ingredients that worked so well. Scott Derrickson direction, Ethan Hawke starring, children in peril, serial killer with a supernatural slant and of course some grainy video footage. We both had a great time with this. It’s not as scary as I was expecting. Kind of felt like he could have prevented the whole scenario by 1. Not moving into the murder house and/or 2. Turning on some god damn lights. It does have some genuine creep out moments, particularly when there’s creepy ass kids involved. It’s has a satisfyingly deranged ending. Great flick.
