After Max and Avery meet on a social media app for a first date, their evening takes a perilous turn when they end up at a local haunted house, the home of 'Rotcreep', a sinister creature that rots your body and soul with one touch. As the night turns into a deadly game of cat and mouse, Max and Avery begin to realize the trauma they share may either save them or erupt into an unforgettable nightmare. Written and directed by Robert Rippberger, THOSE WHO WALK AWAY is loosely inspired by the Ursula Le Guin short story "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas". Filmed in a series of long continuous takes, Rippberger perfectly captures the eerie and bloodcurdling moral predicament of living high while others suffer.

2/5

This dark, haunted house tale boasts a great premise about the monsters we create through our choices. But the pacing makes it feel much longer than its 90-minute runtime, and there’s barely enough story to fill a short, much less a feature.

All that we are left with is a neat trick and some familiar genre devices.

Rippberger's directing overall provides enough twists and turns to make up for a slow start.

Ultimately, this date-from-hell is one that I’d recommend to indie horror film fans.

Warped Perspective

Feb 11, 2022

The pitfalls of ambition over substance are written all over this (ostensibly) haunted house movie, with the main effect being that, despite some strong visuals and moments of atmosphere, it labours under being very, very underwritten overall.
