Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh While it starts with a formulaic premise, the ways in which the filmmakers elevate the story to new and truly frightening heights, combined with their proven visual style, make for something entirely unexpected and disturbing. Rated: 5/5 Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Alberto Abuín Espinof 'Aux yeux des vivants' is fun and uncomfortable in equal levels, including its epilogue, as expected as attractive. [Full Review in Spanish] Sep 11, 2019 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a watchable horror effort never quite becomes a wholehearted success. Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 18, 2019 Full Review Garry McConnachie Daily Record (UK) While the end product isn't perfect, it's a fun and unsettling ride. Rated: 3/5 Mar 10, 2016 Full Review Scott Weinberg TheHorrorShow Manages to work as its own distinct film, even if certain portions will remind you of everything from Steven Spielberg to Clive Barker. Aug 23, 2015 Full Review Chris Bumbray JoBlo's Movie Network Fairly routine slasher fare. Rated: 4/10 Jul 31, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Horrible movie! The whole movie is an effort of ridiculous filming. It takes forever to get through it and the storyline does not make any sense. One scene it takes forever for the police to arrive and in that time the killer manages to wreak havoc on the family. The end wants you to feel sorry for the killer and father but it just does not work. This film is awful and I don't see why it would get anything more than a star, that's even too much for this dismal failure of a movie. Avoid this movie at all costs. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review R P I don't know why but I was expecting Among the Living to be one of the french extremism horror movies and it's not. It doesn't pull punches with who dies, but the graphicness of the kills is mild. (foreverfinalgirl.com/among-the-living/) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/07/21 Full Review Audience Member It was one of the stupidest horror films ever made. If you have seen the Geico commercial where the teens run into a shed full of sharp objects vs the running ready to go car, to flee the pursuit of the crazed maniac; then you'll get the gist of what kind of stupid I'm referring to. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member It's pretty good considering it's an indie. It can't accomplish it's lofty goals (of being a horror version of Stand By Me), but it does come across as an entertaining movie with some really good suspense and decent scares. The acting by each kid is real and genuine. The villain is good while mask but loses some of it's lustre when he becomes unmasked. Overall I would recommend this movie to horror fans, esp'ly those who have "seen everything". Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member This should be a megahit, a box office basher, because it typifies everything that contemporary Horror films so badly need to look like, and would provide the many lost mainstream hollywood horror directors too busy helming horrible remakes of franchised classics a sort of blueprint they could study. Maybe then the American Horror film industry would start to learn what it means to be creative, stylish, visionary, and great all through the narrative lens as well as the character development/arc vantage as well. If only...alas, I'll just shut up and be grateful I get to watch amazing and talented minds in ANY language so long as it's horror and it's legitimately fucking great. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member I like a horror film where no one feels safe, but this one was almost too much so for me. I'm tempted to call this a more horrific version of The Goonies, even though it isn't that. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
