In the early 1990s, a mysterious new person's arrival at a safe house for recovering addicts leads to its turbulent demise.

Leah Pickett

Chicago Reader

There's a horror film in here somewhere, with the creepy synth score and the recurrent close-ups of twisting, blemished faces, but Silver wisely demurs: the stench of spiritual decay is disturbing enough.

In the feat of any great storyteller, especially one who thinks outside of the rules, Silver maneuvers his story and characters to emotional climaxes with profound authenticity.

Rated: 3.5/4

Village Voice

The actors' agile reflexes keep scenes unpredictable as their characters react to passive-aggressive slights or terrifying paroxysms of rage.

Cinemacy

Despite not having as strong of a plot or linear storyline as the previously mentioned films, this type of filmmaking should be celebrated for its uniqueness and contribution to the indie catalog.

It's miraculous that the film doesn't feel like an endurance test.

Stinking Heaven isn't a great leap forward for its director, but Silver's practice isn't the sort that invites that kind of tutelage-to-mastery conversation.

Decent mockumentary around a sober house . Poor guy who owns the house . Seemed like a genuinely nice calm demeanor person stuck around a bunch of animals 2.5. Houses like this are very very close to being a cult . I’ve always though that

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
