Phil Hoad Guardian With Groshong's steadfast interpretation hammering home how justified her character feels in her course of action, it's a reminder that true horror resides in the mind. Rated: 3/5 Sep 28, 2021 Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times Chad Crawford Kinkle's micro-budget supernatural horror film "Dementer" is unsettling right from the start. Mar 6, 2021 Full Review Jessica Scott We Who Walk Here Dementer takes the term “slow burn” to a new level, putting its audience on edge from the very first frame while hypnotizing them at the same time. Dec 22, 2022 Full Review Jason Shawhan Nashville Scene This film will both expand your empathy for those who work in health care and teach an unspeakable ritual for binding the devils, both of which are very useful. Sep 9, 2021 Full Review Martin Unsworth Starburst Kinkle's sophomore film is a difficult watch, and won't be for everyone. As the movie builds to its climax, the nightmarish imagery and sound design take over. Rated: 3/5 Sep 9, 2021 Full Review Scott Weinberg Thrillist one of the year's darkest and strangest (and best) indie horror releases Apr 17, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

nilufer e Not my cup of coffee for sure. I spent the whole time expecting something to happen and by the time it probably did at the end; I have lost all my interest. Best part of it was the co-workers performance. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
