Nicholas McCarthy admirably tries to deliver both a terrifying tale of horror while mixing in more gritty elements, but doesn't explain much as to why.

The film has some cheap thrills ... but lacks more sustained tension.
July 15, 2012
Debut director Nicholas McCarthy possesses a good grasp of effective, tension-building technique in this psychologically rooted chiller, in which dark, repressed memories of a turbulent childhood bubble to the surface.

The Pact fizzles out significantly as it marches towards its rather generic final act...
August 25, 2012
Quite easily, one of the scariest films I've seen in a long while... It's a corker.

In the end, like a lot of genre movies, this one pulls from different inspirations, and so weighs in, by turns, as overly predictable and satisfyingly recognizable (part of genre cinema's one-two punch).
August 26, 2015
Manages to deliver a decent combination of supernatural and practical horrors.
July 12, 2012
The explanations for what has been going on are weird, fantastical and sort of reasonable, within the context of the story, maintaining the film's sense of grounded directness up to the very end.
July 05, 2012
In truth, there's nothing here we haven't seen before. But McCarthy, who also wrote the straightforward script, keeps the pace moving and the atmosphere eerie (if rarely terrifying).
July 05, 2012
More horror movies set in the 21st century ought to integrate technology into their scares as well as Nicholas McCarthy's The Pact.
July 06, 2012
A tightly controlled low-budget chiller whose occasional moments of unexpected special effects are set up beautifully by long periods of suspense.

McCarthy is clearly an economical director and what he gets on screen here - while hardly new - is still effective and occasionally creepy.
