Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 04/06/2017
"Bethany" is polished, well-acted and filled with memorably disgusting images, but its portrait of a frazzled adult survivor of child abuse is ultimately formulaic and a little sleazy. Go to Full Review Meredith Jill Brown Upcoming Horror Movies Jul 17

James Cullen Bressack is the prince of horror. Once again, he brings us a scary, frightening and haunting tale of family values. Bethany is a heartfelt piece of work from Bressack’s twisted yet creative mind. Go to Full Review Bobby LePire Film Threat 12/21/2021

It is too bad that there was not more macabre meat on the blistering bone surrounding the household hysterics of a wounded woman on the edge of dismissive delusional destruction. Go to Full Review Jeffrey Lyles Lyles' Movie Files 04/08/2017

Bethany has some interesting ideas that get buried in a far too familiar jump scare thriller. There's potential here, but it doesn't fully get explored. Go to Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com 04/06/2017
