The horror in The Pact mixes the supernatural and the “real,” as do the movie’s effects, which combine slick-looking, computer-generated fright sequences with old-fashioned makeup and blood-bags.
The Pact” offers more than enough satisfying chills that can effectively burrow beneath one’s skin.
McCarthy, who also wrote the straightforward script, keeps the pace moving and the atmosphere eerie…For her part, Lotz carries the load with such briskly efficient confidence, it’s no surprise to learn that she’s already got several more movies on the way.
