Red Eye

About This Movie

So, 'Red Eye' from 2017. It's this low-key horror flick that leans heavily into the found footage style, capturing that raw, shaky aesthetic. The four friends, all eager to uncover a local legend in West Virginia, bring a certain energy that feels authentic, but there's an underlying tension that really drives the film. As they dig deeper, the atmosphere thickens, and you can almost feel the dread creeping in. Practical effects are used sparingly, but when they hit, they land pretty hard. The pacing has this build-up that gives way to some genuinely creepy moments. It’s distinct in how it balances their camaraderie against the backdrop of terror, making you wonder just how far passion can lead you into darkness.
