The film Teardrop (2022) is a psychological horror-thriller set in an abandoned western ghost town that is full of sinister secrets about its past. It is similar to the show "American Horror Story" so if you enjoyed that show this movie will probably bring back some nostalgia.
We are introduced to a pair of high school teachers (Chris & Rebecca) and three students who are visiting the ghost town for a few days to explore. As they get ready to check into their rooms, they are greeted by a very eccentric front desk local (Denver) who tells them eerie stories throughout the movie about "Teardrop's" past and the disturbing events that occurred through flashbacks.
The teenagers are pretty stereotypical which brings comical relief in between the scarier scenes. Josie, for example, is the typical self-absorbed attention-seeking "popular girl". Teala is a low self-esteemed nerdy teen who is plagued with anxiety and is picked on. Ross is the usual egocentric teenage boy who is constantly getting on everyone's nerves with his devious behavior, especially around the girls.
As the plot unfolds, some of the characters struggle to face their own temptations and "ghosts" of their pasts. We also start to quickly piece together what really occurred in the town as Chris slowly becomes consumed by the evil of the town and its ghosts.
Overall, I really enjoyed the dialogue, acting, and character development along with the film's score. It's a fun horror film and was well executed for Tubi.
