Matthew Monagle Austin Chronicle 05/12/2020
3.5/5
Barnaby's film rejects the default white gaze of so many horror films, choosing to tell a story through an unapologetically Indigenous lens. Go to Full Review
Alexandra Heller-Nicholas The Blue Lenses 05/12/2020
Blood Quantum seamlessly balances two very different things; it's proudly and unambiguously political, while simultaneously being just a banger of genre film. Go to Full Review
Roxana Hadadi Pajiba 05/09/2020
Filmmaker Jeff Barnaby is taking aim at colonization and the subjugation of native and indigenous peoples, and he's splattering those considerations with a hot burst of arterial blood. Go to Full Review

Even though Blood Quantum was a solid swing at reviving them, zombies movies will have to stay dead for now. Go to Full Review
Salome Gonstad Comic Years 08/05/2021
Befitting its title, this movie is awash in blood, and it isn't afraid to show us some truly gnarly images. I just wish it'd gone as far with the social commentary. Go to Full Review

Lucifer M Oct 29 A fresh, sociopolitical approach to the bloated and decaying horror subgenre. Solid performances from the cast and a story with razor sharp commentary on the history of the indigenous people of this country that’s literally impossible to miss; makes this film much more important than your run of the mill horror story. VFX and cinematography are phenomenal in this film as well. We need more stories and films that center around the indigenous communities in this country for sure. It’s LOOOONG overdue…. See more Christian K @ckacar Oct 1 A decent zombie flick with an interesting starting premise. I'm not sure the character dynamics really worked or meshed well but the kills were good and the violence was bloody. See more Craig W. @CJWolfe27 Sep 25 It’s a good zombie movie with plenty of gore See more Jace T @CineChamber Aug 3 It is really nice have Native Americans being the only ones immune to the zombie outbreak in this zombie movie. This is pretty clearly a low budget movie, and some of the acting in it really shows, especially some of the side characters. Some of the kills and deaths in this film are really cool. This movie should be marked as a tragedy, because the story is pretty bleak, and some of the story beats I was not to fond of. If you love zombie films, this is worth a look. See more Ryan M @Ryan_Maley Jul 19 Kind of just another zombie flick but with an interesting perspective. I was unsure of the production value but the gore convinced me. See more michael f Jul 11 I really enjoyed this. If it had half the budget Sinners had it would be twice the movie Sinners is. My only complaint is the acting of the dude called Lysol. He pulled an otherwise great film almost into B-movie fare. Haters of this movie are immigrant haters no question. See more Read all reviews
