Susan Wloszczyna RogerEbert.com Saltiel's conclusion feels ultimately preposterous and somewhat unsatisfying. Rated: 2/4 Jun 24, 2018 Full Review Kimber Myers Los Angeles Times There's an interesting idea at its core that it never commits to, and Saltiel can't fully execute what he does try to explore. Jun 20, 2018 Full Review Serena Donadoni Village Voice By making Beach House so spare - four characters in one location - Saltiel heightens even the most mundane interactions. Jun 20, 2018 Full Review James Berardinelli ReelViews For me, Beach House is a near-miss. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 22, 2018 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Definitely marks Saltiel as a filmmaker to watch. Rated: 3/5 Jun 20, 2018 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com While "Beach House" connects in small amounts, it's frustrating to watch the movie remain so passive with screen elements that demand a robust directorial imagination. Rated: C Jun 20, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Selena B It had so much more potential but didn't get there. And so many unanswered questions. Did he kill Hannah? Was he coming back to just be with her or kill her ? I knew he would come back when she was alone. Did he drug her with the pills she found ? Was she making these things up in her head to commit a murder so she had a story ? And Willa is beautiful. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/28/25 Full Review Alain E It creates an atmosphere but overall there are many loose ends. Good music and cinematography. Did Paul kill Hanna? Emma transitioned quite fast from struggling novelist to ruthless killer, which then freed her creative capacity. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/11/25 Full Review Photoplayvideo This movie was ridiculously stupid! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/24 Full Review Audience Member Implausibility #1. Her parents know their just departed house guest is mentally unstable, but go for an overnight stay in the city leaving their daughter alone n their isolated beach house. Implausibility #2. She knows the house guest may be a killer, but chooses not to go with her parents and then goes to bed leaving a door unlocked. This phycological thriller left me on the edge of my seat but the plot defects bothered me. Not uncommon in otherwise excellent movies. Doesn't anyone edit the final version? Very often the screenwriters have a good plot and synopsis but the devil is in the details. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member engaging psychological thriller from a promising first-time director. great performances (especially from willa fitzgerald and murray bartlett), beautiful cinematography, and an interesting script taking on timeless themes from an unexpected point of view. i found this film particularly impressive given it was an ultra low budget feature which made the most of one setting and a tiny cast. check it out if you're a fan of vintage foreign films, polanski, or hitchcock. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Jason Saltiel's debut film is a tense, nuanced experience. Willa Fitzgerald and Murray Bartlett deliver captivating performances in this slow-burning psychological sexual thriller. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
