About This Movie

So, 'Death from Above' is one of those hidden gems in the horror genre from 2012. It has this raw, gritty feel that gives it an edge, you know? Thule, our main guy, finds this ancient amulet, and things spiral into possession territory. The pacing is kind of uneven, but that adds to its charm in a way; the tension builds sporadically, which can be unsettling. The practical effects are where it really shines—some of the demon manifestations are pretty well done. It plays with themes of power and control, and the atmosphere is thick with dread. Performances are decent, nothing groundbreaking, but they do pull you in. Definitely a film that lingers in your mind for a bit after viewing.
