Not familiar with the lead actors, but Karin Konoval from Planet of the Apes is a solid addition. The director's background with Amazon Prime series is promising for the film's quality.
Another Hollywood horror-thriller. While the premise is decent, I wish our Indian filmmakers would also explore more original horror concepts beyond just ghosts and possessions. We have so many rich folk tales!
Shooting in British Columbia means we'll get some beautiful, eerie scenery. The 'death-plagued highway' setting is a classic horror trope, but it can be very effective if done well.
The director and writer seem to have good festival credentials. Hope the story delivers genuine scares and isn't just reliant on jump scares. A good thriller needs a tight plot.
Always up for a new horror movie! The 1980s setting is a big plus for the aesthetic. Will keep an eye out for the trailer. Hope it's as good as it sounds.
