Surreal and stylish as fuck. Another romantic getaway gone wrong horror thriller but more chaotic. The vintage aesthetic drew me in from jump. The uneasy vibes set a tension filled tone early own and it never let up. Even when shit was going smoothly you knew it was eventually gonna hit the fan.

Further still, the flavours of the filmographies of horror icons such as Sam Raimi and John Carpenter, particularly their early works, are prevalent in both the style and substance of Site 13.
