About This Movie

They Reach is an interesting blend of adventure and horror, set in the late 70s. It has a nostalgic charm, with a young girl discovering a cursed tape player that awakens some serious evil. The film builds an eerie atmosphere; you feel the weight of dread creeping in as the demonic force starts to take hold. The pacing keeps you engaged, though it has its moments where it lingers a bit. The practical effects are worth noting—there's a tangible quality to the horror that really pulls you in. Performances are decent, capturing that innocent yet increasingly terrified vibe of childhood encounters with darkness. There’s just something about its vibe that sticks with you, a certain rawness that feels authentic.
