"Everything you want is on the other side of fear - LITERALLY"
Notable Ensemble Cast : Jane Levy, Stephen Lang, Dylan Minnette and Daniel Zovatto
Released around the month of August, this unsuspecting movie created waves for all the right reasons. This movie does not come with a big package of hugely renowned stars or a large production budget. One can rightly call it a sleeper hit for raking quite big numbers at the box office. It surpassed the hype of DC's favourite - Suicide Squad.
OK now to the picture ;) Who would have thought that a horror film sans the Supernatural, yes you heard us right this is a horror film without a ghost or any scary weird thing, would manage to run that shiver down your spine unlike any other supernatural horror that ever did.
The movie is all about how three people set their eyes on a blind ex-serviceman's house for a huge bounty. Being blinded for years, having lost his daughter and living in a ghost town, these 3 miscreants take advantage of the whole scenario and prepare for a typical house invasion with nothing much to worry about. Things turn a little murky when the group finds out that one of them is in possession of arms and they have awakened the blind ex-serviceman. What unravels next is for you to see as I do not want to be a spoilsport on your tryst with this film. I have already given away a lot of the suspense :P
Stephen Lang has done a tremendous job of playing the spooky old man with an unassuming past and that guy with a terrible temper. Jane as a mother who yearns to give her daughter a terrific lifestyle in California has outwitted expectations. Dylan - a good friend and one with crush on Jane proves that he has matured far more than what he was as a child artist. The BGM keeps you intrigued and not to mention the chills let you nibble your finger nails while you try to balance off at the edge of your seats.
I know I am pretty late with the review but if you still have not watched it, WHAT ARE YOU STILL WAITING FOR? Book your tickets and just go get thrilled.
Bottomline: This is one hell of a movie that will give you the creeps once the goose chase begins. Not for the faint heart ;) Just kidding!! You can handle it and you will definitely fall for this movie. Go have fun and tell us all about your views in the comments below.
P.S :
Please do not ask whether I am "qualified" to rate or judge a movie. It is my take on it. Take it or leave it ;) But please watch this movie and leave your valuable comments below :-D
