The Garlock Incident

About This Movie

The Garlock Incident is one of those films that really leans into its found footage style to create an unsettling atmosphere. Directed by Evan Cholfin, it brings a slow-burn tension that builds as eight travelers find themselves in this abandoned ghost town. The pacing is deliberate, allowing dread to seep in with every creaking door and shadow. The performances feel raw and real, which adds to the film's authenticity. There's something about the practical effects that just hits differently; they don’t rely on flashy CGI. Instead, it’s all about the unknown lurking just out of sight. The themes of isolation and the fear of the unknown really resonate here, making it a distinctive entry in the genre.
