31 Days of Horror: Day 25 — The Shortcut (2009)


 There’s something inherently creepy about taking “the shortcut,” especially when every instinct says not to. This one sets up that classic small-town mystery vibe right from the start.

Movie Description:
Two brothers discover a rarely used shortcut in their town and soon uncover its dark secret. Starring Andrew Seeley, Shannon Woodward, Dave Franco, and Katrina Bowden, this 2009 horror film is directed by Nicholaus Goossen.

My Review:
This wasn’t a terrible movie, but it definitely took its time getting anywhere. The slow start and sluggish middle made it a bit of a chore to sit through, though it finally picked up near the end. There were a few decent moments sprinkled in, but overall, it’s pretty predictable fare.

Not bad for background viewing, but not one I’d rush to revisit.
