It's a fascinating look at how a filmmaker can become so obsessed with something, it destroys his life.

Butterfly Kisses is a great tool for teaching about genre mechanics, and also about balancing your insights with properly calibrated scares.

Butterfly Kisses feels like a familiar story, but it is told in such a disturbingly unique way that it is definitely worth checking out.

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...

Rated: 7.5/10

If you think the subgenre is done and finished, Butterfly Kisses might change your mind as it's head and shoulders above the rest.

Terrible and I liked Skinamarink. Absolutely nothing happened and the only ‘jumpscare’ wasn’t a jump or a scare

This "movie" is hot garbage. There is a single jump scare, othervthan that it a slog filled with unlikeable characters.

WTH did i just watch? Zero scares except the one jump scare close to the end (which actually really got me), but other than that, nothing but college-level wooden, exaggerated acting and a meandering, surprisingly confusing third act. Actually about 1/2 way through it took a right turn into melodramatic drama territory about consuming obsession and loss - nothing really to do w/the original premise. But by the end it course-corrected back towards horror. Unfortunately it gives the viewer a serious case of whiplash. And of course, it's indie horror so don't expect anything to be explained at the end. But this turkey took it to a whole new level. There's more loose ends here than a cardigan sweater picked apart by crows. Unfathomable glowing reviews here that don't make sense. This one sucked.

A really solid found footage horror movie (or rather found footage, within a movie, within a documentary, within a movie).

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
