Without giving away too much I like that it was based on reality. The setting was amazing as was the acting. My first horror movie for 2025 and we're off to a great start

This movie was kind of a let down to be honest. interesting premise, but didn't deliver. I will say the cinematography was good. beautiful shots, and the acting was good. but this movie was not at all scary. fizzled throughout the whole film

A well executed plot, almost every jumpscare was expected, but still managed yo make me jump. A movie I plan to re-watch on the future😊

Its tension weakens, and tediousness sets in, though that effectively evokes what the characters are experiencing. But a period of slog reduces the story’s immersive quality, slowing momentum. What’s best about the movie, though, is how it eventually picks back up and morphs into something a bit different from straight-ahead horror.

The first movies of any given year are usually among the worst. Not this one. It’s a keeper, so treat yourself to a scary New Year’s celebration.

Young is very good in her part, making Eva a strong, flawed character whose depth helps to counterbalance the shallowness of everyone else. On the whole, however, The Damned wasn’t able to achieve what I was hoping from it and, rather than being an overlooked gem, it’s instead simply “overlooked.”
