About This Movie

CHEST (2022) dives into the eerie folklore of the Appalachian region, where a group of amateur filmmakers stumble upon the unsettling legend of a cursed box. The atmosphere is thick with dread as they venture into the foreboding wilderness of Jeffrey's Hell, and the pacing keeps you on edge, like a slow burn that ignites into chaos. Practical effects are used judiciously, enhancing the tension without overshadowing the story. The performances are raw, adding an authentic feel to their chilling encounters. It’s not just about horror; it explores themes of curiosity and the consequences of disturbing ancient myths. Definitely a unique entry in the crime-horror niche that blends folklore with psychological dread.

Interesting take on folklore and horror. · Great use of practical effects for its budget. · Atmospheric sound design enhances the unsettling tone.
