The Cellar is an old-school horror movie that does a lot of things right.
This film started out with a bit of a generic horror house intro with cliché spooky music but went a lot deeper than I expected. It's got some solid twists on classic tropes, a mysterious atmosphere and some actually scary scenes that don't have to rely on cheap jumpscares. While all of the cast is solid, I feel like Tara Lee deserves a special mention for her performance on the stairs to the cellar. She made a simple scene insanely tense just by delivering such a great performance.
The buildup throughout the story was very well done and the payoff was great as well.
I just wish that the ending explained a bit more of the background and why these things were happening. The character of the old lady who owned the house before was a bit wasted and didn't really add as much to the story as I had hoped.
I can recommend this film to any fan of the genre. I was well entertained throughout.
