From Within
What an absolute gem. Granted, I went into this movie with fairly low expectations, considering how well the previous Horrorfest movies from this year had fared in my eyes, but I was pleasantly surprised.
From Within is a well-crafted, well-acted, and well-written little indie horror movie about a curse over-taking a small American town. And as the supernatural evil spreads, the very
real religious evil spreads as well creating not necessarily a new parallel comparison of the evils "at home," but definitely a well-done one.
There are definitely some good creepy moments in the film as well as some decent scares. Not necessarily anything ground-breaking, but a new twist on the
supernatural evil vs. human evil concept. Great little twists and a fantastic ending to boot. Also, I really sympathized for our heroine, which is generally not something that I do. I definitely recommend this film if you're looking for a good, solid, indie horror flick.
4/5
