- ReviewedCome TrueOctober 21, 2026This movie is not going to be for everyone. I love the editing and sound design for the movie, keeping the dream and 80s-fueled feel throughout the movie. The shared experience aspect is something that will land with some but not all. The only part I did not like was shoehorning the sexual relationship, but I can see how that fuels some of the power struggles and roles the female main character deals with in her real life. I can understand why it might have been included, but it was unsavory to me. Overall, I find this movie very original and well made, leaving viewers with questions of what is real and what isn't while giving the main character an escape she sought.
- ReviewedHauntOctober 16, 2026With a straightforward premise, the journey and the ultimate end can usually be easy to predict. But Haunt is a refreshing and polished take on the sinister haunted house movie. Katie Stevens does a good job leading this cast, while Lauryn McClain and Andrew Lewis Caldwell were both solid. This is not an acting or narrative tour de force, but it balances a well-shot and well-set movie with enough body horror to make you cringe. The jump scares were well placed and unexpected, while the minor twists and turns were executed well, too. This movie may seem tame to the more indoctrinated, but it has aspects that make it approachable and easy to watch for those trying to segue into something more "extreme" on the horror movie scale. The ending lands on both feet, wrapping up the impactful storylines in a neat bow and leaving little room for ambiguity. While individual performances and some shallow character aspects did make me hesitate, no one is watching this movie for top-tier acting or deep storylines. This is a solid movie for the genre, and one that I ultimately feel comfortable suggesting to my friends and others.
