User Review
When the aunt of Pauline (Mylène Farmer) dies, she inherits the lonely house in the countryside and travels with her two teenage daughters to the place. While driving to the house, her daughter and aspirant writer of horror genre Beth (Emilia Jones) reads her last novel to her mother and the rebel Vera (Taylor Hickson) criticizes her sister, and a candy truck driver overtakes their car. When they stop at a convenience store in a gas station, Beth learns that the police is hunting down criminals that kill the parents and abuse their daughters. They arrive at the house that looks like an old bazar with many dolls. Vera does not close the front door and soon they are assaulted by driver and a fat man that were in the candy truck. Years later, Beth is a famous writer married with a baby boy and has just released a novel about their attack. Out of the blue, she receives a phone call from Vera asking for help and she leaves her husband and son to visit her mother and her sister. Soon she learns that weird and mysterious things are happening in the old house. What could it be?
"Ghostland" is one of the best horror films recently released. Despite the title, it is not a ghost story but a dramatic, violent, melancholic and highly disturbing horror film with many unexpected plot points. While watching the film, the viewer sees scenes that seem to be plot holes, like for example, why Pauline stays with Vera in a house with so bad recollections. Or why Beth did not send Vera to a clinic for recovering her trauma since she can afford as a famous novelist. But there are explanations for every apparently flaws with surprising twists. Taylor Hickson was facially disfigured while shooting a scene for the film and received seventy (70) stitches on her face and is scarred. She is suing the film´s production company. Hoping this talented actress can recover her beautiful young face is the wish of every fan of cinema and the end of this simple review. My vote is eight
