Eye for Film

A film which, though it’s messy and doesn’t always hit the spot, goes to interesting places.

Rated: 3/5

Heaven of Horror

It’s a very impressive way for Doug Rao to start his career as a genre director. One that will undoubtedly leave an impact on all who watch it.

Rated: 3/5

Avi Offer

NYC Movie Guru

Blends horror, psychological thriller and dark comedy with very mixed results. If it were more fun and campy, perhaps it would've worked better, but the beats rarely land.

Rich Cline

Shadows on the Wall

Writer-director Doug Rao makes clever use of effects to add freak-out flourishes alongside glorious Austrian landscapes that echo with The Sound of Music. All of this plays out in a way that's over-serious and sometimes ponderous.

Rated: 3.5/5

THN

Led by an intriguing mystery around Isaac’s own involvement with the organisation, Dirty Boy has lots for the viewer to sink their teeth into.

Rated: 3/5

Started out interesting enough but the plot became more and more implausible as the story progressed.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars
