Dead Waves

About This Movie

Dead Waves is this curious little gem from 2005 that captures the unsettling vibe of early 2000s horror. The whole premise revolves around a television producer visiting a brother and sister during a paranormal investigation, which you think could be just another run-of-the-mill ghost story. But then it spirals into something much darker, with a creeping sense of dread that builds through the film. The practical effects, though not always polished, have this rawness that adds to the atmosphere. Performances feel genuine, especially the siblings, who exude this mix of fear and denial. It's distinct in its approach to mental health and demonic possession, blending those themes in a way that lingers long after the credits roll.
