Talon Falls (2017) is a horror film directed by Joshua Shreve. The movie is set in a rural, remote location and takes inspiration from the concept of extreme haunted attractions, where what seems to be entertainment for thrill-seekers turns into real horror.
The plot follows a group of four friendsโLance, Amber, and their respective partnersโwho are on a road trip through the countryside. While exploring the area, they come across a local haunted attraction known as Talon Falls. At first, the friends think itโs just a regular haunted house designed to scare visitors. However, they quickly realize that the attractionโs scares are far more real and deadly than they could have ever imagined. The โactorsโ inside the attraction are actually capturing and torturing people for real, and the visitors are unknowingly watching live executions, thinking they are part of the show.
As the group tries to escape the horrifying reality of Talon Falls, they find themselves hunted by the sadistic operators of the attraction, and they must fight for their lives against the brutal and twisted people running the place.
Talon Falls taps into the fear of being trapped in a seemingly harmless horror attraction that turns deadly. It blends elements of slasher horror with the psychological terror of helplessness and sadistic entertainment. The film has a gritty, low-budget feel and features intense scenes of gore and torture, making it appeal to fans of extreme horror films.
If you enjoy horror movies like The Houses October Built or Hell Fest, where haunted attractions play a central role in the terror, Talon Falls offers a similarly gruesome and suspenseful experience.
