Bethany, come quickly! I need to speak to you. You’re not in trouble. I promise! — “I Heard It Too”

Introduction

“I Heard It Too” is a chilling gem of a horror film crafted by Matt Sears and Tim Knight. It’s truly remarkable how they’ve taken something familiar and turned it into a spine-chilling experience.

What sets this film apart is the ingenious way it transforms common surroundings into something ominous. Nothing beats the realization that the scariest things might be lurking right inside our homes.

The clever use of everyday scenes to create an image of childlike innocence is stunningly shattered later on. Such strokes of genius are what keep this film lingering in your thoughts long after you’ve seen it.

This film serves as a wake-up call, urging us to confront our deepest fears hidden in plain sight in our daily lives.
