Brant F @destroyfascism Jun 19 A remarkably effective low-budget horror film that creates a constant sense of unease through its submerged visuals, claustrophobic sound design, and unsettling atmosphere. The lighting is phenomenal, giving everything a waterlogged, dreamlike quality, while the decaying house becomes a character in its own right, soaked in grief, secrets, and decay. Rather than relying on jump scares or gore, Caveat presents its horrors in a matter-of-fact way, which somehow makes them even more disturbing. The film trusts atmosphere and ambiguity over easy explanations, and even the open-to-interpretation ending worked for me. Just a really terrific horror film.

But in the last half an hour, the film completely falls apart. So many questions left unanswered, it left me wondering why did I even waste my time. The only good thing was the drumming rabbit… That damn thing was creepy as hell! See more Dantez G. @dantez May 9 Is it a slow burn film? Yes, but it delivers a slow eerie dreadful feeling and you don’t know what’s coming next. See more Gavin L @RT23842432 May 7 I enjoyed this. I was never sure what was coming next. A film free of tired and predictable horror tropes. It has a slow pace that may irritate some but I found this just adds to the tension. The protagonists amnesia plays perfectly into the insanity that pervades everything else in the film. It finishes at a perfect point, leaving madness behind, never truly explained - as if anyone could ever really explain such insanity. A rare and refreshing horror that uses the setting to tell it's story as much as the characters in it. See more Daniel T @DanielRuben37 May 2 Where Caveat excels in atmosphere and mood: creepy, ominous, and veritably bursting with the uncanny, the Freudian Unheimliche (omg that toy drumming rabbit!); it lacks in plot and narrative. Unfortunately nothing much really adds up as far as the story goes, it's quite linear but in the end there are no answers, there's no logic or underlying structure to it all, cardinal points seem to be confused for catalyzers and vice versa. Maybe that was the point - maybe the narrative here is supposed to be an ironic nonsensical pastiche of a genre horror flick or something - but its very linearity with the promise of a big reveal in the air that never arrives is just maddeningly frustrating because it leaves you with a crazy bunch of unanswered questions whose answers seem to hang just out of reach. Still, it's definitely worth a watch just for the "vibe", if that's your thing.
