The film ends up a lovely rumination on the bond between mother and daughter that transcends death and dimension.

If ever a film failed to live up to its title... mild impatience, more like it.

A film called Anguish hardly sounds enticing but I think I'd prefer anguish to what this arthouse horror actually serves up, which is plain tedium.

Within a matter of hours, Anguish went from an ambiguous horror title to one of my top horror films of the year.

A refreshingly character-focused horror story, garnished with creepily effective visuals.

Rated: 4/5

Anguish isn't the scariest or most original thriller but it's a surprisingly involving and creepy one.

Rated: 4/5

Hugo

"Anguish" is actually closer to be a drama (instead of horror) as it focus on mental health issues and on the relationship between mother and daughter. The ambiguity prevails until the end: possession or dementia? No matter what the audience believes in, most of the movie is certainly tedious and plain. Mediocre performances.

This stupid film is so stupid and terrible, it actually makes me angry for investing (wasted) time on this stupidity and terribleness.

Slow and steady. I liked the plot a lot but it wasn’t super thrilling. If you like low key movies it’s really good.

Could have been good of it weren't for it dragging on forever and most scenes nothing happens. Boring.
