About This Movie

The Haunting of Alice Bowles is a curious little film that leans heavily into atmospheric horror. It opens with two YouTubers, which you'd think is a tired trope, but there's something about their dynamic that keeps you invested. The pacing is steady, slowly unraveling the mystery tied to a grave in an old churchyard. The practical effects here have a certain raw charm that contrasts with the digital age backdrop. The sound design is particularly haunting, almost echoing the lost stories of the past. What stands out is how the film captures the eerie stillness of bygone eras, effectively immersing you in its unsettling atmosphere. The performances, while not groundbreaking, feel genuine enough to draw you into their plight.
