I got around to watching Grave Torture and it's the first movie to get a "Holy shyt" out of me at its conclusion. I like to give movies a bit of time to reflect, but I think it's my pick for scariest horror of 2024 (Oddity had a tenuous grip on it because this year's been light).
As a warning, the first half barely touches on supernatural stuff. It's just really messed up. As in this movie comes with ALL the trigger warnings. People suffer, and then that trauma builds into all the horror of the second half. But goddamn, the second half of this movie has a combination of camera work, cinematography, and genuinely tense moments. It reminds me of When Evil Lurks. A foreign film from a promising director that takes their work to another level.
