Interesting subject matter, astral projections, but it felt like it went off the tracks and the ending was unsatisfactory. Still, it did better than other similar films by not trying to do too much.

This movie moves a little slowly developing the story. It's also missing a conclusion. The movie ends where the climactic scenes would typically begin. Feels more like a pilot episode for a supernatural show about college kids... Or, maybe I should say ANOTHER supernatural show about college kids.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

One of the worst movies ever, so bad I had a laugh after. An absolute embarrassment to the genre. Not suspenseful. Terrible acting. Holes in the plot. If I was in the theater I would have literally brought rotten tomatoes with me. Worth watching if you enjoy getting mad for fun!

The only reason why I can't give this movie a 5 star is because of the lack of explanation as you move through the film. Since I have studied astral projection it was easy for me to understand but I don't think it would be as easy for someone who doesn't understand the principles. I do not think this is a movie for people that like the hack them up or bogie man horror films. It's a slow burn that makes you truly think about it. Frank Daillane is absolutely perfect for the character of Alex. His acting is always spot on. His character is both lost a curious. Which may not be the best combination for a person. Plus Daillane is just a beautiful soul and is always fun to watch.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I like the premise. With a good cast, I particularly enjoy the lead, probably the most enjoyable part was his acting alone. The spooky scenes were brief but effective, to me at least. I give it 4 stars for the plot and the lead acting alone.

You'll wish you could project yourself into a different entertainment dimension while slogging through "Astral."

Los Angeles Times

"Astral" gives fans of American cable TV dramas a chance to hear some familiar actors speak in their natural English accents. Beyond that, this high-toned genre exercise is low on novelty - not to mention jolts.

Film Threat

Astral is a mediocre supernatural thriller at best. We have a script that really needed a few more things wrapped up paired with a thesis that is bluntly dismissed in favor of an easy conclusion.

Rated: 5/10

Moody, nicely-played. But there's not quite enough there to make this chiller come off.

Rated: 2/4
