In this 2006, horror thriller we a see a woman going to Russia to collect her inheritance, after finding out her mother has died. While the movie begins sort of slow it slowly builds to a terrifying clusterfuck of scariness.
The movie does a nice job of blending scary sequences with a solid plot and very good acting from the two leads, Anastasia Hille and Karel Roden. One of the nicest parts of these two performances is the fact of just how refreshing they are in the horror movie world. The way that they are not refreshing is the fact that they topless teenage girls being stabbed by masked men.
The basic plot is that once the main character arrives shit hits the fan and she begins seeing ghosts, her own ghost and it's pretty fucked up:
Then she meets her brother, his doppelganger isn't much better:
From here the shit continues to hit the fan.
The Abandoned combines a solid dramatic plot, with scary and intense scenes seamlessly. The acting is very well done and overall I give it a 9/10, the only reason I couldn't give it a 10 is because the flashback sequences sometimes seemed a little forced which is awkward, other than that this remains to be my all time favorite horror movie.
