About This Movie

Excerpt (2012) presents a unique take on the found footage style, blending horror and psychological thriller elements. The film revolves around Ally Dixon, a college student grappling with sleep apnea, and the eerie recordings that reveal her descent into a nightmarish realm. The atmosphere is unsettling, amplified by the slow pacing that builds tension effectively. Practical effects play a pivotal role, enhancing the authenticity of her experiences. The performances, particularly from the lead, ground the supernatural elements in a relatable reality. There’s this creeping dread that lingers, which is something I appreciate in the genre. It's distinctive for its clinical approach to horror, drawing you into Ally's world, making the viewer question what’s real and what’s not.
