Halibut Point is an intriguing entry into the horror genre, blending family dynamics with supernatural elements. The story revolves around a recently divorced man, who tries to solidify his new family unit with his girlfriend and their kids. There's this annual tradition of capturing a day on video, which sets a curious tone right from the get-go. The atmosphere is thick with tension as they hike through a hauntingly beautiful coastal forest, and that black stone they discover? It feels like a character in itself, adding layers of unease. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the unsettling ambiance to build, and the practical effects, while not overwhelming, are effective in their subtlety. The performances carry a genuine weight, drawing you into their struggles while something menacing lurks beneath the surface.
