Dead Mall

About This Movie

So, 'Dead Mall' it is. This 2023 horror flick takes a pretty interesting route, you know? We're stuck with Amanda Hall's recordings as she roams this desolate shopping mall, and man, the atmosphere really nails that eerie, abandoned vibe. The pacing is pretty tight; it builds tension slowly but effectively. You get drawn into her world, only to realize how trapped she becomes. Practical effects are used well, not overdone, which keeps it grounded. There’s a gritty realism to her performance that feels genuine, even if the direction is a bit obscure. It’s that blend of urban exploration and social media that makes it stand out, kind of a reflection on our digital lives in decay. Worth a look for the atmosphere alone, I’d say.
