Come To Stay

About This Movie

Come To Stay is this neat little black and white chiller that drips with 1960s vibes. You've got Cliff and Emily Walker, a couple whose marital strife takes a backseat when their car breaks down in the eerie town of Saxby. The atmosphere is thick with tension and an almost palpable sense of dread. The pacing has a slow burn quality that really lets the weirdness of the town sink in. Practical effects are minimal but effective, enhancing the unsettling mood without feeling overdone. The performances are raw, capturing the tension of a couple on the brink. It’s distinctive in its commitment to that retro aesthetic and its exploration of marital discord intertwined with horror elements.

Come To Stay has a bit of a cult following among collectors who appreciate its unique aesthetic and the way it captures that unsettling atmosphere of classic horror. It's not the most common title out there, which adds to its allure. Released in a limited run, it tends to pop up in specialty shops or online marketplaces, but you won't find it everywhere. This rarity, combined with the film's intriguing premise, has sparked interest among genre enthusiasts looking for something different in their collection.
