Egy kétgyermekes édesanya megörökli nagynénje elhagyatott vidéki házát. Az első éjszaka gyilkos betörők rontanak rájuk új otthonukban, ám az anya lélekjelenlétének köszönhetően mindhárman megmenekülnek. Az idősebb lánytestvér később megírja a horrorisztikus este történetét, a könyv pedig óriási siker lesz. Neki sikerült feldolgozni a borzalmakat, ám húgát – aki még mindig abban a bizonyos házban lakik anyjával, ahol az eset történt – még mindig kísérti a múlt. Mikor a lány félelme annyira elhatalmasodik rajta, hogy kezelhetetlenné válik, testvére a segítségére siet. Ám hamar rájön, talán rossz ötlet volt visszatérni a szörnyű emlékek színhelyére.

Intenzív freak house nightmare. A szomorúság és az emberibb érzelmek nem Laugier műfaja, és valószínűleg soha nem is lesz az, de legalább itt dicséretesen sikerült ötvöznie a rá jellemző ultra-erőszakot és borzalmas undort az álom és a valóság keveredésével, az abból való meneküléssel a felszabadító képzeletbe. Nem mindig van értelme, de az eredmény egy lenyűgöző puzzle, amelyben (hála Istennek) a múlt legrosszabb elképzelhető traumái is enyhülésre találnak. És ezzel együtt a stresszes néző is (reggel, a nap öt műfajilag közel álló film közül az első, elég kemény ébresztő). [Sitges FF]

Excellent narrative pirouette and a really intense madhouse! I trusted Laugier, but since the film wasn’t preceded by the hype of a big horror event (like this year’s A Quiet Place or the upcoming Hereditary), I was expecting less. And maybe thanks to that I ended up pleasantly surprised. Ghostland lacks the philosophical layers of Martyrs, which established Laugier, but it certainly delivers more horror satisfaction than The Tall Man. A decade ago we were used to this breed of films, but they stepped into the background in such way that today they can feel like a breath of fresh air again. Finally a horror action film that is unleashed and hurts! The action puts the character through such things that you believe that they are deeply traumatising them, and their hysteria doesn’t surprise you. All this, moreover, wrapped in first-class technical form, taking place in the interiors of a magnificent horror cabin, and made special by a narrative structure that makes sense (though I can imagine that it can be self-evident for some). Applause.

Pascal Laugier is simply great. At first he catches our attention with the H. P. Lovecraft reference, and then starts such a brutal gore ride that I had to do my best not to shit my pants with fear. In its own way, Ghostland is brilliant. True, it contains a lot of self—serving violence and is in its core very simple, but it also has a certain style and works surprisingly well despite the mentioned flaws. A raw hard-core horror where I didn’t mind the simple premise, an occasional overcontrivedness and logical lapses at moments where reality blends with dreams, but I enjoyed all of it as part of the movie.

Pascal Laugier, the director of Martyrs, is on a rampage again this year! After a long hiatus, the French are waking up and a new French Wave may be starting! This year they surprised with the stylish Revenge and now they are rocking with Ghostland, so thumbs up. Ghostland is an unpleasant, evil, psychological emotional nightmare that simmers for almost the entire film. Not much can be written about the story without spoilers, but it's important to mention that the film can seem confusing at times and you need to use your brain. The beautiful Crystal Reed excels in the lead role, I have grown to love her in the series Gotham, so all her agony made me sympathize with her far more than I should have. A big plus are the deranged bad guys, especially the giant hulk who reminded me of the wrestler Glenn Jacobs, who starred in See no Evil and made me feel really uncomfortable. Another big plus is the setting of the old house, with its creepy dolls as decoration, which creates a great horror atmosphere. The action, the chases, the screaming, the violence, the physical and psychological terror throughout the film makes Ghostland a very intense spectacle that will be at least in the top 3 this year. If Pascal had gone a bit further with the gore, it would be a clear number one for me. Still, an excellent experience. After the second screening I'm upping it to a full score. The experience is more intense. 85%.
