Happy Halloween everyone!
This year the holiday has snuck up on me and I am severely behind on
posting my reviews. Please bear with me
as today I will be posting the remainder of my countdown all on this glorious
fun filled day of horror!
Day 27 on the countdown brings us to The Pact written and directed by Nicholas McCarthy and starring
Caity Lotz and Casper Van Dien. I must
admit this movie came up several times in my Netflix recommend box and I
overlooked it many times simply (and I will admit my shallow behavior) because
of the cover art. It didn’t pull me in
and the description didn’t either until one day I got tired of seeing it and I
decided to watch it. And I must add that
I am sorry I waited so long to see it.
The Pact opens up
with a young woman finalizing the preparations for her mother’s funeral. After a stressful phone call with her sister
about her mother’s death, she contacts her cousin and daughter via the
internet. Strange occurrences begin to
happen in the home and when the connection is lost with her daughter, Nicole is
drawn to an open door at the end of the hall and is never seen from again.
Flash forward a bit and we meet Annie, Nicole’s sister, who
comes to the house to find out what happened to her sister. After her mother’s funeral, we meet Liz and
Nicole’s daughter Eva. All three return
to the mother’s house to spend the night.
Their sleep is interrupted, Liz disappears and Annie is attacked by an
unseen force. Barely escaping with their
lives, Annie and Eva go to the police station where they are not believed.
This is only the beginning of the mystery surrounding the
house, their mother and their family history.
Caity Lotz stars as Annie with Casper van Dien starring as the police
detective that wants to believe Annie’s story and help with the investigation
of the two girl’s disappearances.
If you haven’t seen this I highly recommend it. It truly is well written and creepy enough to
watch on Halloween.
