The Pact
It’s late at night and you’re alone at your parents’ house for your mother’s funeral. You’re on Skype with your daughter, when she suddenly jumps up: "Mom, who’s that standing behind you?" she asks. You turn around, but there’s no one there. It’s your one chance to get the hell out, but you let it pass you up. Soon after, you see the refrigerator door open and broken glass strewn all over the floor.
It’s late at night and you’re alone at your parents’ house for your mother’s funeral. You’re on Skype with your daughter, when she suddenly jumps up: "Mom, who’s that standing behind you?" she asks. You turn around, but there’s no one there. It’s your one chance to get the hell out, but you let it pass you up. Soon after, you see the refrigerator door open and broken glass strewn all over the floor. It’s time to bolt. Annie however doesn’t seem fazed by the whole thing and refuses to leave the house, determined to deal with the ghosts of the past - both literal and metaphorical. Nicholas McCarthy uses imaginative camera angles and an exemplary sound design to carry out his mission, which is nothing less than to scare you out of your wits. Claustrophobic and almost out of this world, "The Pact" is a ghost story with a generous helping of suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. K.Th.
