About This Movie

So, 'Mannequins' from 2018 is an interesting take on the horror genre. It follows four friends who decide to explore the old Carpenter Hill Hospital, and honestly, the setup is pretty standard for the genre, right? But there's something about how the film builds suspense that feels fresh, almost eerie. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the pacing keeps you on edge without dragging. The practical effects, while not overdone, add a real tactile quality that enhances the creepy vibe. The cast does a decent job—they feel relatable, which adds to the tension as things start to spiral. What really sets it apart is that underlying tension of being drawn to something dark, almost like a siren call. It’s definitely worth a watch if you appreciate subtlety in horror.
