The premise of The Pact is fairly straight forward, Nicole is taking care of her mother's estate after she's died and weird stuff starts happening in the house. Not all that different from many other supernatural horrors. But what sets this one apart is that this movie acts more like a mystery with scary elements, rather than a straight horror film.
The movie did rely mostly on jump scares for the terror, but they were some of the scariest jumps I've had since starting this. That being said, there is some traditional tension. The movie ends leaving you asking a few questions, but it's not a frustrating amount of unanswered non-sense like some movies. At the same time, I liked that there was something to think about after finishing it.
I called this movie supernatural earlier, and strictly speaking, that's true, but I also liked that the movie didn't rely to heavily on the paranormal, and kept much of the horror in the real world.
Rating on the Spook-o-meter: 5 out of 10 boos
