Demián Rugna refuses to go cheap with the jump scares in this 2017 Argentine shocker.
The Big Picture With Halloween right around the corner, many are searching for hidden gems to get their fix of frights for the spooky season. Scares come in many different packages, but there is one resource that is close to omnipresent across all horror, one that has been overused and cheapened to a point where it's more of a crutch than a crown jewel of the genre: The jump scare.
'Terrified' Offers Up an Extreme Haunting Terrified is an Argentine independent horror film of the poltergeist variety, centered around an increasingly violent haunting that plagues a middle-class neighborhood, as well as the police and paranormal investigations attempting to find out what the hell is happening.
From this point forward, the film is very efficient with its time, as it wastes no opportunity to develop its central cast of characters within the few well-paced minutes of downtime that precede the horrors inevitably returning. Before the locals has even grasped the severity of the situation, more harrowing tragedy strikes this small cul-de-sac.
Finally, once all the spooks have hit the fan for these unfortunate souls, the film draws to an ambiguous but satisfying conclusion, where the nature of the entity is somewhat explained -- just enough to make sense of some of its more unique behaviors, but not enough to truly understand what the entity was, what its motives were, and thus, maintaining the audience's fear of the unknown intact long after the credits have rolled.
