About This Movie

Recovery (2016) presents a fresh take on the horror-thriller genre, blending the familiar high school backdrop with a chilling nightmare. The film thrives on a sense of dread that builds steadily, as Jessie and her friends venture into a home that feels off-kilter from the start. The pacing is tight, with moments of tension expertly interspersed with some pretty visceral practical effects that ground the horror in a tangible way. The performances oscillate between the youthful naivety of the characters and the menacing presence of the residents, creating a clash that’s unsettling. It’s not just about the scare; there's a subtext about belonging and the lengths one will go to find a place in the world, which gives it a distinctive edge in the crowded landscape of horror.
