Near Death

About This Movie

So, 'Near Death' from 2004 is one of those films that really leans into the eerie atmosphere of an old haunted mansion. It’s got this creeping sense of dread that builds nicely as the ghost hunters poke around. The practical effects, though not always polished, have this raw edge that adds to the horror vibes - you really feel the flesh-eating ghouls are tangible threats. The pacing isn’t your typical jump-scare rollercoaster; it’s more about drawing you in slowly. The performances, especially from the team of ghost hunters, have a gritty realism that pulls you into their plight. It’s distinct for how it mixes genres, creating an odd but compelling blend of fantasy, horror, and thriller elements.
