“I was a teen and lived in some pretty remote places in Canada, so I already knew how unsettling the deep forest can be at night.”
“They perfectly captured how much scarier your imagination can make things when you let it run wild. The giggling children in the darkness after hearing the tales from the old people in town, then the following night, the wailing of their missing friend. You could feel their hunger, cold, misery, and terror.
Even the final scene in the abandoned house…you never see anything. Have you ever come across an abandoned building unexpectedly in the dark? Truly in the dark. Windows and doors are flat, two-dimensional blackness, and it invites terror without any help.
I’m much, much older these days, and not much inspires terror anymore. But that movie was a true experience!”
