Critic Reviews

Village Voice - Simon Abrams

Jun 28, 2018

The grisly post-torture-porn horror flick Incident in a Ghostland serves as an effectively punishing critique of the relentless misogyny that has become a staple of every stupid Texas Chain Saw Massacre knockoff that pits sexually active women against emotionally disturbed serial killers.

The Hollywood Reporter - Jordan Mintzer

Jun 18, 2018

The structure feels fairly novel for such a B-grade fright-fest — call it Last Year at Amityville — but it’s soon outdone by the litany of torturous scenes that the director piles on one after the other. Read full review

Los Angeles Times - Kimber Myers

Jun 20, 2018

There’s real ugliness here, with the creative torture visited on the victims being enough to unsettle all but the most hardened of horror fans. Unfortunately, the ugliness isn’t solely in the on-screen violence. Transphobia and misogyny flow through the film as much as blood, staining what might have been a solid genre effort.

Variety - Dennis Harvey

It all seems slick, intense, and unpleasant in the same hollow way “Martyrs” did, because all the cruelty is so meaningless. Read full review

โครตชอบบบบบ เลิฟลี่ๆ
ไม่เคยดูหนังสยองที่ดูแล้วรู้สึกระทึกกดดัน วิปริต ผิดเพศ ขนาดนี้มาก่อน
ใครที่ไม่ชอบหนังแบบนี้ต้องเบือนหน้าหนีตายแน่ อิอิ ส่วนนักแสดงเล่นดีสุดจนรู้สึกว่ามันเป็นแบบนี้จริงๆ (ได้ข่าวแววๆว่ามีเล่นจริงเจ็บจริงด้วย) มันไม่สยองเลือดสาดมาก มันจะเน้นสยองแบบความจิต ความรุนแรงโครตชอบบบบบ เลิฟลี่ๆ

มันไม่สยองเลือดสาดมาก มันจะเน้นสยองแบบความจิต ความรุนแรง วิปริต ชะมากกว่า คาดเดาไม่ได้มีความหักมุมหักคนดู แบบทุบเอาๆๆ ซึ่งมันก็สมคำร่ำลือจริงๆนะ ดูจบคือโล่งอ่า 5555

หักไป 1 เพราะปมบ้างจุดยังไม่บอกอะไรมากเท่าไร ให้เราเก็บไปคิดนิดไม่มาก เอาจริงๆดูแบบไม่คิดก็สนุกแหละ… Expand

Muy shokeante, tiene escenas gore, y hay violación pero bien cuidada. El final lo ves venir desde la mitad, no hay sorpresas, pero la acción la hace entretenida. Fueron tan reales las escenas que a la rubia joven le cortaron la cara en la realidad.

Ahora conociendo sus antecedentes se esperaba un slasher que siga ese estilo de su anterior película, mostrando escenas muy gráficas de violencia, pero el director prefirió filmar una película en donde se habla de uno de los temas principales de este subgénero del terror: El papel de la mujer.

Este género fue acusado de misoginia y sexista; en la mayoría de las películas el rol femenino es representado de una manera no políticamente correctas, acá Laugier hace un recuento de esté tema poniendo algunas metáforas que refuerzan el mensaje que se propone. Narra la historia de unas jóvenes que se mudan con su madre a un casa nueva, la primera noche un grupo de asesinos las atacan..Se sale de los parámetros del slasher contando una historia distinta con un giro al final. Una película aterradora, sin valerse de escenas extremadamente violentes, pero que coloca a Laugier como un director con un buen futuro.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ghostland or Incident in a Ghostland is a drama/horror movie that depicts the history of a mother with two hilds that inherets the aunt's house. Winner of 3 movie awwards at the Gérardmer Festival in 2018, the movie show the first night in the really creepy house inherited by the mom and the two daughters where muderous intruders attempt against their lifes. Sixten years later when the daughter, now a widely knowned writer stared by Crystal Reed, returns to the house, things start to get really strange.
With influences from H.P. Lovecraft as showed, although appealing at times to jumpscares and flaws on the plot, the movie sets up the tone for a good horror movie going for the psychological aspect of it. It's stilla able to create the feeling of being followed or watched at all times.
Even though the ending doesn't keep up with the start in terms of quality, it still delivers a good ending and good acting. From the current horror movies being release, Incident in a Ghostland is a good movie and from my opinion, a good recommendation for a weekend movie.… Expand

I was expecting more from this film.
In my country, this got 18+ rating, while there wasn't any scene that I rate like that.
Dont watch if you like good horrors.
