      Audience Member One more movie where dead people get in touch with the living ones to help solve a murder, although the cliche I liked the ghost-story and the thriller atmosphere. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Liam D A interesting Chiller This Thriller is a underrated little gem Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/18/21 Full Review Audience Member The Pact (2012) was really enjoyable from a horror fan point of view. It had just the right amount of spook, mystery and thrills. It held the same level of eeriness throughout. I was on edge the whole time. Nicholas McCarthy has perfectly directed this film as we experience as much as the character does, with the extremely tight halls winding through the house. It was predictable in some areas, such as the jump scare department but that is to be expected as everything has been done to death these days. However the storyline took many turns that weren't as expected. Caity Lotz was well casted for the role of Annie. Her performance was captivating and relatable. A little slow but It doesn't affect the overall feel of the film. I would definitely recommend. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member I didn't care for it. Something with the pacing, the timing.. it just didn't work. But Gary T (a reviewer on here somewhere who put everything in all caps and hated this movie..lol) . why don't you tell us how you really feel? Lmao Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member The pact 18.2.21 6.6/0. It was good. D.B. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Garbage from start to finish Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Mark Olsen Los Angeles Times The explanations for what has been going on are weird, fantastical and sort of reasonable, within the context of the story, maintaining the film's sense of grounded directness up to the very end. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 12, 2012 Full Review Kyle Smith New York Post A tightly controlled low-budget chiller whose occasional moments of unexpected special effects are set up beautifully by long periods of suspense. Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 6, 2012 Full Review Manohla Dargis New York Times In the end, like a lot of genre movies, this one pulls from different inspirations, and so weighs in, by turns, as overly predictable and satisfyingly recognizable (part of genre cinema's one-two punch). Rated: 3/5 Jul 5, 2012 Full Review Rita Cannon Battleship Pretension The Pact takes its time revealing anything specific about the horrors that hide in the family's house. For most of its running time, we don't have a good idea what Annie is up against, which makes the slow trickle of clues that much more tantalizing. Mar 10, 2021 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Desperately underwhelming. Jul 25, 2019 Full Review C.J. Prince Way Too Indie There is a lot of potential shown in The Pact, but the clunky writing and bombardment of clichés end up overshadowing the better qualities of the film. Rated: 6.2/10 Jul 3, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
