The Guard Station

A chilling journey of courage and terror.
5/5

Review

Matt Zappala’s gripping horror film takes viewers on a harrowing journey through the depths of trauma and fear, expertly portrayed by Jayden Arts as the tormented security guard, Michael. Battling PTSD and the haunting memories of a tragic car accident, Michael’s nightshift takes a terrifying turn when he confronts a demonic entity in the seemingly ordinary yard he guards, pushing him to face his deepest fears.

Arts delivers a powerful performance, capturing Michael’s desperation and courage as he battles both the supernatural and his inner demons. Ron Arthurs complements the narrative as Michael’s co-worker, adding depth to their interactions with a touch of Aussie no-nonsense humour.

Zappala skillfully sets the stage in the Australian backdrop, enhancing the film’s eerie atmosphere. Dion Borrett’s cinematography shines with its cinematic quality, framing the scenes perfectly and employing special effects that intensify the horror. The film’s ability to blend psychological tension with supernatural elements creates a chilling and spine-tingling experience.

With its fantastic acting, immersive cinematography, and a storyline that delves into the human psyche, Zappala’s horror film offers a thrilling and unsettling exploration of trauma and the supernatural, leaving audiences on the edge of their seats until the very end.
