About This Movie

Exhume (2016) dives into a bleak narrative that intertwines history and horror. The atmosphere is thick, almost suffocating, as Patrick and Karen Connor face off against the dark history of a reform school notorious for its brutal past. It’s unsettling how the film captures the weight of the unearthing process, both literally and metaphorically. Practical effects are used effectively here, lending a raw edge to the supernatural elements that spiral out of control. The pacing can feel slow at times, but it builds tension, allowing the dread to seep in. The performances, particularly from the leads, ground the story in a way that makes the unfolding horror all the more impactful. There's something haunting about the way it makes you ponder the ghosts of history.
