THE PACT is about a young woman who is trying to realign her past with her present after her mother has died. Her sister, Nichole, begs her to come to their mother's house to help sort through things and get the house ready to sell, but Annie refuses, not wanting to return to a house that haunts her. Unfortunately for Annie, Nichole disappears and she must return to the town she grew up and to her mothers house to handle things and hopefully find her sister.
Once Annie returns to her childhood home she because haunted by the things that happened there when she was young and she finds that there is a presence that is willing to terrorize her to either harm her or get her out of the house. After a night of frightening drama with her niece, and the disappearance of her cousin Liz, Annie knows that there is something in the house, something both frightening and terrible.
Annie seeks the help of a young woman she knew in High School named Stevie. Stevie has the gift of sight and can see ghosts and the past. Stevie enters the house not feeling much but finds horror that she doesn't elaborate on but feels sorry for. In the end Annie learns of a dark family secret and finally learns to hold her own.
I was hoping this movie would be a haunted house movie that would scare me, unfortunately it didn't. The tricks it used have been used before in many movies, and the situations of Annie's past were not developed. In the movie the audience is told that she had some sort of bad childhood but it is never elaborated on so the audience never really understands why they should be sympathetic towards her. The situation in the "haunted" house is never fully explained either. No one really explains why the house is haunted or who is really haunting it, plus the big bad evil is not what was expected and it was a little cliche.
This story has been told before. I wanted a new ghost story. Also the title "the pact" I didn't understand why this movie was titled that. It wasn't referenced in the movie and there was no "pact" between any of the characters unless it was an unspoken pact that the audience was just supposed to accept.
I didn't care for this one. It didn't leave much to the imagination, nor did it scare me. It was just blah.
