[6.75/10] Haunt (2019)

Haunt (2019)

Quick Review: "Saw" meets "The Funhouse" in this slick, Halloween- vibed horror slasher which contrary to its title fully avoids ghosts and evil spirits, and chooses to creep out its audience with no less sinister clown-masked killers instead, but "Haunt" has more to offer then just repellent imagery, building real strong tension throughout, delivering steady chills, frights and thrills, and enough grisly and gore-soaked death scenes to gross you out and make you ignore its straightforwardness.

Well, if you're going to do a slasher flick, make it original.

Alex, exactly. The achieved that for sure.

Well, some places do call scarehouses "Haunt" so I think the title's slightly misleading for me. Eitherways, straightforward slashers are always gonna be my thing so Haunt is a welcome addition to my collection!

Yes, it worked well as such. :)
