Verdict on Stonegate
Recap
The movie follows four teenagers who make a disturbing discovery in an abandoned hospital. They become haunted by the events as the truth becomes clear and leaving them shocked by the truth.
Best Parts
The investigation and big secret are a massive part of the movie, and fantastic to see unfold. Elsewhere, the performances are strong, with the teenagers having natural chemistry. The idea of town’s having big secrets is always great to watch, and this dives into that on an impressive level.
Worst Parts
Some of the haunting moments fall a bit short and don’t create the shock value many others have.
Final Thoughts – Stonegate is a great dive into a town’s history and disturbing past.
