Rum

About This Movie

So, 'Rum' (2017) is an interesting piece in the horror-thriller realm. It’s got this moody atmosphere that really sucks you into the isolation of the forest. The gang of robbers, they’re not just your run-of-the-mill criminals. The dynamics between them shift as they grapple with the supernatural elements of the haunted bungalow. It’s intriguing how they blend tension and suspense without relying heavily on jump scares. The practical effects are rather effective, grounding the horror in a way that CGI often fails to achieve. Performances are solid, especially as the characters become increasingly paranoid. It’s a unique take on the haunted house trope, mixing crime and supernatural in a way that feels fresh, even if it’s a bit rough around the edges.
