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. Jul 12, 2012 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

McCarthy is clearly an economical director and what he gets on screen here - while hardly new - is still effective and occasionally creepy. Jul 6, 2012 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

There is a lot of potential shown in The Pact, but the clunky writing and bombardment of clichés end up overshadowing the better qualities of the film. Jul 2, 2019 | Rating: 6.2/10 | Full Review…
