Next of Kin

About This Movie

Next of Kin is this curious blend of horror and mystery that takes its sweet time to unfold. You got Linda, who inherits this retirement home, and then bam, strange events start happening. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and there’s an unsettling sense of isolation that permeates every scene. The pacing is deliberate, almost methodical, which really lets the tension build up. The practical effects feel raw yet effective, giving that visceral punch that's often missing in more polished flicks. It’s not just about the scares; there’s a real exploration of dark themes lurking beneath the surface, which makes it stand out. Performances are decent, adding to the eerie vibe. Definitely a unique watch for collectors who appreciate the subtleties of 80s horror.
