31 Days of Horror: Day 9 — Haunt


 Nothing says October quite like a haunted house movie, and Haunt delivers that perfect mix of Halloween atmosphere and claustrophobic terror. This one takes a familiar setup and gives it just enough edge to feel fresh again.

Movie Description:
On Halloween, a group of friends encounter an extreme haunted house that promises to feed on their darkest fears. The night turns deadly as they come to the horrifying realization that some nightmares are real.

My Review:
This was a refreshing take on an old trope. While the “haunted attraction gone wrong” premise has been done before, Haunt keeps things engaging with solid character portrayals and traps that are both inventive and unsettling. There’s a steady sense of dread that builds as the group realizes just how real their situation has become, and it holds that tension all the way through.
