2:59

About This Movie

So, '2:59' is an interesting piece that dives into the eerie realm of family hauntings. It's got this unsettling vibe, you know? Mason and Kailee's attempt to rid their homes of a demonic presence unfolds in a way that feels both raw and intimate. The atmosphere is thick with tension, thanks to some decent practical effects that sort of remind you of those early 2000s indie horror flicks. The pacing is quite deliberate, allowing dread to build slowly, which can be refreshing in a genre often driven by jump scares. While the performances aren't groundbreaking, they carry the weight of the story, making it feel a bit more personal, maybe because it's supposedly inspired by true events from 2013 Portland. Definitely a curious find for collectors who appreciate the nuances of indie horror.

'2:59' isn't the easiest film to track down. With a limited release and few printings, it’s gained a certain cult status among collectors who appreciate indie horror with a true story twist. The film's obscure nature and the unknown director add to its allure, making it a unique gem in the collection. If you come across it, you'll likely find it on niche streaming services or as a hard-to-find DVD, which adds to its collectible charm.
