What critics say influenced Caveat
French shoulders the tale, and you hate to compare anything to Guy Pearce in Memento because who can stand up to that?
With elements of Saw and Memento crossed with a traditional ghost story, Caveat is a mesmerizing single-location horror film that delivers some jump-worthy moments of pure dread.
Su una impalcatura diegetica da casa stregata, con tanto di cadaveri murati, apparizioni spettrali da jumpscare e omicidi multipli, si inserisce una linea narrativa principale alla Memento .
I can’t recall the last time a lone scene from a horror movie legitimately gave me chills (it was probably the final scene of 2020’s Shudder surprise, Host ), but Caveat got me good.
In this respect, the opposite of Caveat might be a film like Split (2016), in which mental illness is trivialized, oversimplified, and made to be the primary source of horror.
