Marco Contrada is a wildlife researcher working in the remote woods of Italy. His studies lead him to an abandoned village where he becomes trapped after a storm comes and floods him in. As Marco is waiting to be rescued, He soon figures out why this village is abandoned. The spirits of two little twin girls haunt this village and they like ripping things apart.
I'm going to say first that I'm not a huge fan of ghost movies because most ghost films don't scare me. The only one I think I have gave a 10 out of 10 is The Innocents. But Across the River scared me. I watched it last night before I went to bed and I almost hid under the cover. I don't usually get too scared anymore by horror movies. I will get a little scared, but not since I was little have I got this scared by a movie. The ghosts think Samara from The Ring only scarier in my opinion. And what Across the River does is it doesn't show the ghosts too much. By not showing the ghosts it makes it more creepy. And the movie also has an elderly man that used to live in the village telling part of the background of the little girls. I say part because he never tells everything which is probably a good thing because it leaves some mystery. But the scariest thing the old man says is that he saw the girls once when he was little 70 years ago and he has been scared ever since. Across the River atmosphere, sound, and overall build up is excellent. 10/10
