Haunt
On Halloween, a group of friends encounter an extreme haunted house that promises to feed on their darkest fears. The night turns deadly as they come to the horrifying realisation that some nightmares are real.
Why it matters
A grimly effective haunted house nightmare that escalates from eerie atmosphere to brutal, unrelenting violence, capturing the primal terror of Halloween’s darkest corners.
- Co-written by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, who also crafted The Quiet Place, with Eli Roth’s producing influence sharpening the gore and tension.
- Starts slow with classic haunted house creepiness—clown masks and ominous silence—before detonating into a savage, blood-soaked slasher frenzy.
- Perfect for fans who crave a blend of psychological dread and visceral, practical-effect-heavy gore that refuses to pull punches.
- The typical “stupid decisions” trope persists but serves the old-school slasher structure; the payoff is a viciously cathartic nightmare ride.
