The headline of the horror movie 8 Found Dead (2022) reads “A long bloody night from four points of view”. And then, of course, the obvious, “whoever has done it is who survives”. So, here we have obviousness and a perhaps not too scary but annoying starting point if you wanted privacy for your little vacations. Let’s dig more into it.
The movie centers on two couples who head to a secluded desert hideaway for a weekend of relaxation and, unbeknownst to their friends, uneasy revelations. When they arrive, each couple is met by the same eccentric couple, claiming to have booked the rental on the same day at the same time. As two local police officers are drawn into the evening’s strange and unpredictable events, depravity and derangement begin to consume everyone at the house. What begins as miscommunication soon descends into mayhem and bloody murder.
Well, I can already feel the tension of the situation.
