Fun Fact:The original Pact film had a sequel, The Pact II (2014) that was shot at my old house in Los Angeles County. While that fact is fun, the movie was not. I can’t in good faith recommend watching it.
To introduce The Pact to a new generation, A24 needed a bold creative direction that stood out in a crowded horror landscape. Centered on two siblings uncovering dark secrets in their childhood home, the campaign transforms familiar domestic elements into quiet horror — using craftsman architecture, atmospheric branding, and immersive marketing to draw audiences into an unsettling, unforgettable big-screen experience.
Treated as it’s own character in the films story, the craftsman-style family home of the Carters is reflected in the movies title, which is integrated into the title sequence of the film.
