Pact with the Devil

About This Movie

Pact with the Devil has this grungy, eerie vibe that seeps through the screen. Set against the backdrop of the Mexican Revolution, it does a decent job creating that sense of dread and mystery. The pace can be a bit uneven at times, but it feels like a slow burn that rewards patient viewers. The ghost of Simon Huerta guarding his hidden treasure adds an interesting layer, blending folklore with horror. Practical effects are decent, definitely not overdone, which gives it a raw, grounded feel. Performances are varied, but there's something captivating about the way the actors embody their roles, especially given the film's tight budget. It’s one of those odd gems that offers a unique viewing experience for those who appreciate the genre's nuances.
