You'll wish you could project yourself into a different entertainment dimension while slogging through "Astral." Go to Full Review
Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 11/21/2018
"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. Go to Full Review

5/10
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. Go to Full Review

Albert A Nov 11 Terrible movie. I kept waiting for something to happen. When something finally did happen at the end of the movie, it was such a disappointment. Then I read it was a low-budget film. That makes sense. In fact, it is so low budget, the main actor can't take a shower or wash his hair. Don't waste your time with this low-budget, awful movie. See more Jeffrey P 03/12/2023 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. See more 12/08/2020 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! See more 04/21/2020 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. See more 03/03/2020 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. See more 06/14/2019 I was just really starting to get into this movie when it suddenly ended. One of the most sudden and unexpected and bad endings to a movie I can remember. It had just started to get scary when boom movie is over. The acting is pretty good and the story was decent. Sadly the ending was horrible. See more Read all reviews
