Luke Buckmaster Guardian Backtrack has a classy, downcast aesthetic that feels a bit like an old piece of furniture melted down and turned into celluloid, or a film infused with the fabric of a chesterfield. Rated: 3/5 Jun 15, 2016 Full Review David Stratton The Australian Backtrack starts promisingly but becomes wildly improbable as it proceeds. Rated: 2/5 Jun 10, 2016 Full Review Godfrey Cheshire RogerEbert.com Along with excellent work by cinematographer Stefan Duscio and composer Dale Cornelius, Petroni elicits sharp performances from his estimable cast, especially Adrien Brody. Rated: 3/4 Feb 26, 2016 Full Review Jason Adams The Film Experience Backtrack, whatever it cost, feels costly, bloated, crammed with screaming CG ghosties that pop out at the screen screaming when the director needs to goose us Jul 2, 2021 Full Review Allie Gemmill CineVue Backtrack plays as a tightly-wound drama working through themes of redemption and forgiveness. While it follows familiar genre beats, the work being done here is thoroughly engaging. Rated: 3/5 Apr 8, 2019 Full Review Naila Scargill Exquisite Terror Adrien Brody puts in a reliably earnest performance, but it's not enough to save an idea that remains in need of fleshing.

Bonz T Anything with Brody in it is worth watching. He’s truly one of the best. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Jared E By far not Adrien Brody's best movie, but an intriguing one-time watch with a predictable story line and ending. It's a thriller movie attempting to be horror, good for the ladies no gore. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/02/24 Full Review Jeffrey P A psychological horror that lacks build and is wrought with too much vagueness early on. Ghosts? Too fast, too slow, who knows? Either way bores, and then it ends in an unexpected and shocking way that makes everything else pointless. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review ARNI S Great ghost story don't understand why so many viewers didn't see it for that. Right up there with a Steven King horror thriller with a great ending. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/15/24 Full Review Larry L This is a very good movie. A bit confusing at the beginning but if you stick with it it turns out to be a really great ghost story. Highly recommended Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/03/24 Full Review inta k interesting movie with cool storyline Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
