Caveat

 

        Directed and written by Damian McCarthy, "Caveat" is Mr. McCarthy's directorial debut and the predecessor to "Oddity", a terrific horror film, I recently reviewed.

        While I didn't find this film quite as scary as "Oddity", it certainly has it's moments. The story itself, is strange to begin with and only gets stranger as it goes on. Mr. McCarthy is an original voice in horror and creates stories and situations that can totally give you nightmares.

         Amnesiac drifter Isaac is hired by one Moe Barrett to watch over his niece, Olga, who lives alone and is prone to sudden fits of catatonic states. What Moe doesn't reveal to Isaac is the job's caveat and thus sets off  Isaac's descent into near madness.

         The film stars Johnny French as Isaac, Leila Sykes as Olga, and Ben Caplan as Moe Barrett. The film also stars the scariest toy rabbit I've ever seen. 

          Currently streaming, it's a film that may haunt you for days.
