It's a fascinating look at how a filmmaker can become so obsessed with something, it destroys his life. Go to Full Review Jason Shawhan Nashville Scene 09/09/2021
Butterfly Kisses is a great tool for teaching about genre mechanics, and also about balancing your insights with properly calibrated scares. Go to Full Review Michelle Swope Nightmarish Conjurings 11/05/2019
Butterfly Kisses feels like a familiar story, but it is told in such a disturbingly unique way that it is definitely worth checking out. Go to Full Review Nick Rocco Scalia Film Threat 01/08/2019
7.5/10
As thoughtful and original as Butterfly Kisses is, it's fair to question who, exactly, the film is really for. It's the kind of thing that's bound to play like gangbusters at film festivals... Go to Full Review Martin Unsworth Starburst 10/22/2018

Tanesha @Realitycheck 5d I'm not sure how tf rotten tomatoes scored this at 5 stars...maybe I'm missing the punchline 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ See more Pranish P @Perspex Jan 12 Pacing was slow throughout the whole movie. very underwhelming jump scares. Good premise but poor execution. See more Nye N. @nye2025 Dec 21 It’s possible this movie would have worked better for me if I hadn’t watched a YouTube video about it some weeks beforehand. Because, honestly, I ended up experiencing the YouTube video about it as more engaging than the movie itself. The movie ultimately fell flat for me but it is undeniably a great effort for its low budget and I would be curious to see what the director could do with a bigger budget. See more Corey S @corecom Dec 5 Enjoyed this movie from beginning to end. Following Gavin's story alongside Sophia and Feldman's kept me engaged and curious to see the conclusion to each. Particularly swinging back and forth between being frustrated with Gavin and then feeling bad for him had me strapped in to see where he ends up. There are some elements that are unaddressed at the end, but the overall story felt complete. If you have an obsession with jump scares as a tool paramount for horror films you will be disappointed with this movie. See more Jason S Aug 20 A filmmaker discovers footage of a crew that disappears after investigating peeping tom. Interesting but not unique setup. Then the movie veers more towards the filmmakers life and it just stops being scary and no longer held my attention. See more Korra N Aug 14 Gripping, disturbing and frighteningly believable.
