I originally caught The Pact in the cinemas, going in with very little knowledge about the film. Needless to say, I was blown away by it! This is an incredible ghost film that has a plot which twists and turns constantly, leaving you always on the edge of your seat. It makes a refreshing change to watch a horror/thriller that doesn't rely on gore and unnecessary jump scares to freak you out.
If you like films like The Others, What Lies Beneath, The Sixth Sense or even Insidious - then this is for you!

There are a number of twists and turns that constantly keep you engaged and wanting to watch on. From experience, some horror films can bore you to sleep with the constant complications - but with The Pact it's done perfectly (without telling you any spoilers!
The use of 21st century technology such as iPhones, online maps etc aren't usually used in horror films but The Pact embraces it and they're subtly entwined into the narrative. It made me think twice about using my Maps app afterwards and shows how the horror genre is evolving.
Everything from the family issues to the household mysteries to the examination of old pictures give The Pact a traditional horror feel but it's the successful implementation of new horror conventions that finally brings the horror genre into the 21st century.
The Pact is a great watch and I truly recommend it to any horror fan and actually to anyone who just wants to watch a good, scary film! There are some nail-biting scenes I somehow forgot to mention!

Thriller or horror? Both of them. The PAct is a nightmarish journey through some family secrets and it's conducted with rare and strong talent, both visual and narrative. It's a creepy movie, where you can't tell if you'd better expect what's going on is supernatural rather than real and realistic. A real surprise!

Good
'The pact' is a good film, I would recommend it to anyone, if you're looking for a 'scary' film to watch, then don't choose this one, I wouldn't exactly call it scary.
