Review: Site 13 (2023)




Review: Site 13 (2023)

By William Pattison


 

This time I got another Lovecraftian horror film…

SITE 13 is a Cosmic Horror film. When Dr. Nathan Marsh awakens from a catatonic state in a mental institution, he must relive his last expedition by watching tapes from the site visit, only to discover he's unleashed an unstoppable horror.

His film amazingly managed to capture the creepy feeling of Lovecraft’s writings on a shoestring budget, which seems to be the best way to do movies either based or inspired by Lovecraft. I loved the long exposition scenes, which are the hallmarks of good Lovecraftian films. I also enjoyed the cheap CGI Old One, which added that low budget charm to this piece.

In conclusion I have to say that though this film is far from AWESOMETACULAR it is a good film that you don’t  need alcohol or drugs to enjoy, so be happy with that. You can see this film on Tubi TV…
