Deadfall

About This Movie

Deadfall (2000) has this gritty, unsettling vibe that sticks with you. The story unfolds during what should be a carefree weekend but quickly spirals into chaos as a dark supernatural force erupts. The pacing is pretty tight, keeping that tension simmering just below the surface. I appreciate how it uses practical effects—there's something about seeing real, physical manifestations of horror that CGI just can't replicate. The performances have that raw edge; you can feel the characters’ descent into paranoia and dread. It explores themes of trust and betrayal, which are pretty effective in ramping up the unease. Not your typical horror, it leaves a lasting impression without needing to scream for attention.
